An imprint and collective at the centre of the West Coast’s ever-expanding house scene, releasing material from Kevin Knapp, Justin Martin, SHADED, Justin Jay and more, Desert Hearts Records continue to grow, evolve and build as a label championed across the globe. Fresh from a big start to the year following the annual Family & Friends V/A, February sees label founder @mikeylion partner alongside Berlin-based DJ, producer and imprint regular @andreashenneberg for the first time to deliver two bumping productions across their ‘Surfliner’ EP.

Alan Nieves - Chase No

@KevinKnapp and @MikeyLion join forces for the “I Am Not EP”. The two-tracker is packed with feel good house influences and chunky grooves. These tracks are destined to create some phenomenal “go wild” moments on dance floors across the globe. "The only way I can describe what feels like an instant connection with Mikey and all that he's built is music and ethos. Something has resonated with me in each piece of music he's released, and I feel like our mutual trajectories have been ascending since the moment we met 2018. I approached him about doing a collaborative EP upon my return to the USA because I felt like his musical approach and imperative to love through music to dance floors squared seamlessly with where my head has been in my approach to music over the last several years. I like to say "sometimes things just work" and this is undoubtedly one of those instances. I'm excited about this EP and the potential to work together in the future, it feels like a piece of home." - Kevin Knapp

Desert Hearts Records is more than excited to welcome none other than Audiojack to the family. Their characteristic sound has made them one of the most loved acts in the industry. You find them jet setting around, playing the wildest parties all across the globe, while still finding time to create energetic tunes in the studio and running their own label Gruuv. 

And now they have landed on the Desert Hearts Records planet with two massive dance floor bombs. The title track, “Straight Up” takes the lead with its infections groove, while the teasing synth builds up momentum that leads us right into the electrifying break. It is techy, it is catchy, it makes you want to move. 

When we move into the second track of the EP, “Like What”, we know from the first beat that this is going to be big. The driving groove works along the chopped vocal elements and a bouncy bassline. With the exquisite drum work taking its role in the forefront, playful synths funk up the vibe in the back, giving it a lightheaded tough.This EP shows us exactly what Audiojack are so known and loved for. They know what they want on the dance floor, and they are giving it all.

Audiojack - Straight Up
