The 8th release on Desert Hearts Records comes from label boss Mikey Lion alongside fellow tech house enthusiast and Desert Hearts veteran, Bengal. The first track on the EP, titled "Big Cats Groove", is a tribal drum track laced with low slung lion and tiger samples. The vocal sample that instructs the crowd how to properly find the groove was appropriately recorded from Bengal's African Drum Teacher during his last semester at UC Berkeley. The second track on The Big Cats EP, titled "Like That", is a straight to the point tech house banger that hits as low to the floor as it gets. The equally tough vocal sample reminds the crowd to put trust in their DJ just as the bassline comes back in giving them what they want.  Finally, Bengal's remix of "Big Cats Groove" completes the EP as he takes a much more spacey and dubbed out approach to the track. Filled with melodic synths and vocal echoes, the EP ends with a much moodier and super tripped out vibe.

This tune was supposed to be a part of Into The Sun, but I couldn't get it finished in time… It was like tapping into that Loco Ono nerve, and then I wanted the widest, stupidest, lowest, slow-motion drop… then I started jacking with alternate surprise cuts from artists like Dead Prez, Big Makk, Yookie, GTA, (huge shout outs to these artists for the inspiration!) and then it even ended up flowing perfectly into F.U.N. somehow… force is versatile. Extreme props to Seth Drake for suggesting this trick with the sideband I can't even pretend to understand, but it made the weight of that fucking downbeat absolutely ludicrous :) Special thanks to Bay Area Blackalicious superstar Gift Of Gab for cutting vocals while on the road!

HAILO is a longtime friend, and now travels the world relentlessly as tour manager for Steve Angelo. While moving to Sweden, he sent me over a sketch for a song which sounded like it could become a deep house lullaby. We invited Haley Gibby to work on the track, and together we developed it into this enchanting downtempo crush track. I’ll let Haley do the talking on what this song means ;)

Who would have guessed I would be making music with that random longhaired ambassador with the upside-down cross t-shirt? Another Ambassador (Bri) sent me a folder of mp3s to check out, and my favorite song in the folder was by "Gnar Gnar." When I found out it was Tyler, I flipped out, and ever since then he and I have been endeavoring together through the mystical sonic lands. It's a match made in heaven. We hope you enjoy our follow up to Generate - this one is more of a melodic meltdown moment. Mmmmmm….

This might be my favorite track on the album… the original concept was like an ode to late-1990s electronica, and I was doing a good job keeping it simple and steady and pretty at first. But as layers kept getting added it morphed into a thicker, more futuristic journey: like the second cousin of Flashback …which is fitting. Someday I may release the first version, which was uptempo with double-time breakbeat drums, and a hypnotic pattern which was like a weird mix of Knight Rider & Mesmerizing The Ultra. I love when the shortest version of a song is 6:20… you know the cook was getting out of hand in the kitchen.

When I heard the original version of this track, I thought it was some Coldplay song I'd never heard before (and my favorite Coldplay song, at that) but upon further investigation I discovered this amazing indie artist named Crywolf - and getting a chance to step behind the scenes of his masterpiece was simply indulgent. Once I was at the controls, I became saturated in the soul of his music, and had no interest in making 'a remix' of the song. I just wanted to play with it, explore it, and interact with it. I ended up letting it breathe, as a deeply soothing lullaby which lets the original melodies loop on and on until you wonder if you are dreaming. Toward the end I couldn't bring myself to finish it because of the unlimited combinations of chimes and bells and harps and guitar interlocking with the vocals. I just wanted to let it play forever.
