PREMIERE: Supercontinent - Connect (Original Mix) [Fauna Rêve]

The Desert Hearts Family has found itself at the center of a dusty movement, fostering intimate experiences of sonic joy and unbounded love across the globe. Part boutique festival, part record label, and part globetrotting party brigade, this ragtag crew of dreamers has emerged as a vibe-focused force radiating a conscious ethos of House, Techno and Love. Desert Hearts has given rise to a family of tens of thousands and it's safe to say the Love Movement isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

In 2022 Beth Lydi released her much acclaimed first LP “This is Love” on their house oriented label Desert Hearts Records, and with that came the idea for a collaboration with Change the Beat for a remix contest. Change the Beat (formerly #23by23) partners with record labels and assists them in discovering and signing female or gender non-conforming producers. It’s a campaign from Sydney Blu which was created with the help of DJ Rebekah and Native Instruments.

The campaign is a call to action for all record labels in electronic music, regardless of size and stature, to help boost the percentage of women, trans and non-binary artists signed and discovered by various dance music imprints (the percentage currently averages less than 5%), a message that lies at the heart of the Desert Hearts message of inclusion and love.
Beth Lydi is a Berlin-based DJ, producer and label boss of her own label SNOE. She continues to grow as a rising name within the realms of house and tech house. Raised in Oslo, Lydi’s recent material has taken her stateside with a series of releases via DIRTYBIRD, Percomaniacs and Desert Hearts Records, where she released the original ‘This Is Love’.

From more than 30 competition entries 3 remixes were chosen as the top 3 and will now be released one the label as well.
Sivz won first place and delivers the first remix. Sivz is an artist born out of relentless hard work and passion for the party. Using catchy lyric writing, intricate percussion, rhythmic vocal chops, and dominant vocals as her ultimate tools for expression, her releases on Farris Wheel Recordings, Monstercat, and Force of Habit have received support from industry veterans like Chris Lake, CID and Claptone.

The second remix comes from Sagia. Sagia’s musical style is characterised by instrumentally rich sounds with solid bass line and spatial & energetic vibes of melodic house & techno. Her musical sensitivity and drive translates into her own productions and remixes. Sagia has always been fascinated with the positive energy of music and has played in the UK, US, Spain, Poland, France, Cyprus, Malta & The Netherlands and at official events during WMC (Miami) & ADE (Amsterdam). She accompanied many of her favourite DJs and producers such as Umek, Oxia, Coyu and Tiger Stripes to name a few.

Coming in hot with the third remix is DOMii. DOMii is making creative waves both stateside and all across the planet! Fresh off releases on Maison Fauna Records, Brooklyn Fire Records, and Hau5trap, DOMii brings a unique and raw style w/ her live performances and original music that is only matched by impressive technical aptitude. A fixture in the South east music scene, she also has spearheaded “Housework CLT” an underground dance music party in collaboration with Nomad Talent and “Girls Room” a party celebrating queer women in music & art. As a DJ there is no genre or style safe when Domii is at the controls, but she remains an expert at maintaining that essential house groove.

Le Doigt Africain (Bearweasel Linear Dub)

In the spring of 2017 Doza (Carlos Mendoza) was combing the the beach of Inapupan, a small island in the Philippines, when he saw something both strange and familiar: a weathered bit of shell peaking out of the sand with orange and ivory tiger stripes. He recognized it as the armor of a nautilus, one of the planet's oldest and deepest-diving animals. He held it in his hand, imagining the bioluminescent monsters it’s creator might have witnessed during its dark, cold dives. “Nautilus” is a latin word derived from the ancient greek “nautilo” meaning “sailor.” A sailor himself, Doza arrived home inspired to soundtrack this creature’s funky nautical journey. 

Electronic musicians today have access to a vast ocean of sounds from soft-synths, soft-samplers, mobile apps, boutique hardware and modular synths. When Doza began making music in the late 90s as half of LawnChair Generals (with Peter Christianson), the equipment available was expensive and cumbersome by today’s standard. In a way those limitations were a blessing in that they forced the Generals to extract as much function and creativity out of each piece of equipment as possible, and to learn their instruments inside and out. 

To stay focused on The Nautilus, Doza eschewed soft-synths and complicated outboard set-ups for the sounds from one of his first pieces of equipment, the PC2x. This tank-like stage keyboard was created in 2001 by Kurzweil Music Systems, a company founded by renowned futurist Raymond Kurzweil and Stevie Wonder (yes, that Stevie Wonder).

Although short on sounds relative to other larger keyboards of the time, the PC2x has the famous Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology (V.A.S.T.) and, in the hands of a tinkerer, is capable of morphing, organic, other-worldly tones. The result of this self-limited production technique applied to the deep-sea daydream is The Nautilus, an immersive dance floor voyage complete with evolving drones, pitching and swelling textures, and growling encounters in a swirled up auditory expanse. All of this sits atop a disco-tech structure and latin battery that is vintage Doza, supporting a locomotive synth bassline that dives and rises again like the intrepid little creature of the deep that inspired it.

Odyssey of Alex Heide is a Travel threw his sounds. On this EP you will find his collab with ND Catani, a rework of GC Soundsystem Track & his own. Basic house, almost purist but very modern. The remix of DJ Lion brings a touch more Techno in which the effectiveness of the rhythmic takes the synths in an extra dimension. Alex Heideproposes three pieces which impose his own borderless style. From deep house to dub, his influences open the doors of a music mental and dreamlike.

Aldo Cadiz - Me Sabe A Porro

Currently spotted whipping up heat on their own IMPRESSUM imprint, Fideles return to Jennifer Cardini’s label with this beautiful four-track bounty that leads with the epic ‘Brain Machine’. Juiced up with pristine Italo vitality, it’s hooky, addictive and laced with positive charm. It could just be Fideles’ most universal track to date (which is saying something)

‘Brain Machine’ is in good company, too. ‘Conjunction’ is a true cosmic trooper with a breakdown that will turn you to jelly, ‘Glasses’ is a dark and electrode rabbit hole while ‘Blow’ sends us home for the holidays on a flying carpet of blissful synths.
