Desert Hearts

This set was recorded at 6am sunrise, Monday morning at our Desert Hearts 1 Year Anniversary festival.  The Desert Hearts Crew and myself had been up and running the party for 4 days straight at this point and it was time to close down the best weekend and best party of our lives.  

Over the past year we had built Desert Hearts from a small 200 person gathering into one of the premier 1500 person parties in the world.  Not exaggerating, I would honestly put our Desert Hearts 1 Year Anniversary gathering up against any party in the world.  Everything was so surreal in this moment... it was a culmination of everything I had worked towards in my life and this was my victory lap.  This set starts with me mixing out of Marbs' last track in the beginning and also has a little b2b action with the homie Evan Casey in the last 30 minutes.

Without further ado, this is my version of Desert Hearts Sunrise...  Mentally and physically drained, more proud than I've ever been in my life, surrounded by my closest friends and family, and coming down from one of the most intense acid trips of my life.  I hope you enjoy. <3

Mikey Lion Sunrise @ Desert Hearts 1 Year Anniversary

Father & Son (Lee Reynolds vs. Mikey Lion) @ Bang Bang (Dec '13)

Desert Hearts 1 Year Anniversary Nov 2013

Lee Reynolds has always been someone who’s absolutely defied logic to us. Almost 20 years our senior to the rest of the Desert Hearts Crew, we’ve never met anyone with such an unbelievable passion and thirst for life. It's really fucking inspiring. Originally from England, Lee first moved to San Diego in 1988 to pursue a career in Professional BMX. If you go back and look at the original Haro Bike team, you’ll see Reynolds on the same team as the sport’s most legendary riders. After a plague of injuries set him back, Lee moved from a set of bicycle wheels to the Wheels of Steel. And thank god he did. I think when someone throws themselves into the air as many times as Lee, they start to develop a permanent high that lasts them the rest of their lives. That’s the only explanation we can come up with for his unbelievably infectious positivity. Simply put, Reynolds is a party god. He is one of the funniest, most lovable, and most incredible dudes we’ve ever met, and he also happens to be my all-time favorite DJ and best friend. It’s our pleasure to give you this super beast of a mix, Live @ Desert Hearts - Lee Reynolds - 005.

 Live @ Desert Hearts - Tara Brooks - 008

Tara Brooks embodies everything that Desert Hearts stands for. If anyone understands our mantra of House, Techno, & Love, it's Tara. When she first played for us at our 1 Year Anniversary Festival, not only did she absolutely melt the collective mind of the dance floor, but meeting her was like meeting our long lost sister. We were instantly in sync on everything from music to life philosophy.  There's a reason she's becoming a staple for us at our parties. Her music and her infectious positive energy is such an amazing force to be reckoned with. We absolutely adore her. <3

When programming our time slots for our Desert Hearts Spring Festival, we knew we had to have one of our strongest DJs on the lineup to follow Matthew Dekay's Sunday headlining spot. This was a make or break time slot for us as people generally start winding down just after Sunday sunset. But when Tara took the decks after an amazing set by Matthew, no one budged from the dance floor. Take a trip with us and relive the amazing magic that took place Sunday night at our Spring Festival. <3

Release Date: OUT NOW!!

Kevin Anderson has always been a House staple of our Desert Hearts Festivals these past two years. So much so that we made him a Resident DJ after the first time he played for us. Simply put, the dude is a living party and one of our best friends. We couldn't be more excited to release Kevin's debut EP as the sophomore release on Desert Hearts Records.

With 2 incredible solo tracks from Kevin, a collaboration track with Desert Hearts Records Boss Mikey Lion, & a monster remix from our friends Yobill & RYBO, the entire EP has pretty much become our secret weapon stockpile. We can't wait to share the rest of the EP with you very soon.

Kevin Anderson, Mikey Lion - Set Me Free (Original Mix)

Kevin Anderson has been one of our best homies since way before Desert Hearts was even born. Watching him grow as a DJ and a Producer has been really incredible to see. There shouldn't be any wonder why we made him a resident DJ after the first time he played for us. The dude is a living party. Straight up.

Kev Dawg, as he's known around here, just released his debut EP on Desert Hearts Records.  In just 2 days, he's already hit the #22 spot on the Deep House Top 100 Releases. You have no idea how proud we are of the dude and we can't wait to keep this thing rolling with him.

Now get ready for a monster of a mix as Kevin takes you back to Saturday, 2pm at our Desert Hearts Spring Festival 2014. Sandwiched between Jay Tripwire & Mikey Lion, Kev Dawg unleashed the ultimate daytime party jams and set the place on fire.

Dink has always held a very special place in our hearts. He's one of the most genuine, loving, & all around hilarious dudes we've ever met. The music he plays is almost an exact replication of who he is as a person: quirky, bouncy, & eccentric. He's been a loyal part of our family since before Desert Hearts was even a thing and he's always reminded us that keeping things light hearted is the key to happiness. We love Dink to death and we think you will too. Without further ado, we're proud to give you Live @ Desert Hearts - Dink - 012

Time for some Techno! We're proud to share with you Ben Seagren b2b Tara Brooks just after sunset on Sunday night at our Desert Hearts Spring Festival 2014. After a blissed out Sunday day, we knew Ben was going to throw down some dark techno to bring in night. Even though some technical difficulties kept Ben from being able to play a proper set by himself, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as he and Tara Brooks threw down one of the most psychedelic sets of the weekend. You can catch Ben Seagren and Tara Brooks at our 2 Year Anniversary Festival on November 7-10. House, Techno, & Love... We Are All Desert Hearts. <3

DP005 - Deep Jesus

It's safe to say that Desert Dwellers are the most OG desert DJs that we know. In fact, Treavor Moontribe was one of the founding members of Moontribe Collective, the original community of California desert dancers who've been gathering under the full moon since 1993. We owe a ton of our inspiration to Moontribe and we might even go so far to say there wouldn't be a Desert Hearts without our founding fathers of the desert scene.

While we've had Treavor Moontribe absolutely kill it for us in the past, it's his ultra psychedelic Desert Dwellers project with partner Amani Friend that really made international waves. Predominantly a downtempo project, we first heard about a super rare techno / tech house set performed by Desert Dwellers through our partner Kristoff. And he just wouldn't stop raving about it...

Honestly we had absolutely no idea what to expect from a techno set by Desert Dwellers other than the good word of one of our partners. Their set was the one true wildcard on our lineup and it ended up being one of the most radical sets of the weekend. With the first 1.5 hours of the set being all original material, Desert Dwellers pulled off one of the best sets we've ever heard at Desert Hearts.

With a heartfelt nod to those who paved the way for us, we hope you enjoy Live @ Desert Hearts- Desert Dwellers - 018 as much as we do. <3

Live @ Desert Hearts - Desert Dwellers - 018

My live set from DISTRIKT camp at Burning Man. This was one of the most monumental sets of my life playing in front of 3000 people in the middle of a dust storm. This was one of those days that set the bar for the rest of my DJ career.

Mikey Lion - Live @ Burning Man - DISTRIKT Camp

Desert Hearts was one of the proudest moments in my entire life.  It was a lifetime of work that culminated in a 900+ person campout of 60 hours of House & Techno on the best Funktion 1 system we could find.  We added in all of our favorite Burning Man camps and before we knew it we had something Southern California had never seen before.  A full blown hippy gathering dedicated to House, Techno, and Love.  I can't even begin to describe the feeling when my inbox filled up with messages from people saying Desert Hearts changed their life... Unbelievably humbling is an understatement... ♥

To all of my Desert Hearts out there, I love you guys from the deepest part of my soul! Thank you all for contributing so much and making it a truly unforgettable experience! 

Our next gathering is called Tropical Hearts and will have talent the likes of Jimpster, Christian Martin, Safeword, Android Cartel, and many more for 48 hours of loving Funktion 1 bliss!
