Live from the spectacular Desert Hearts 1 Year Anniversary at La Jolla Indian Reservation in Southern California, this set weaves deep house and tech house over 3 hours plus from 9pm to a little past midnight on the closing night of the festival.

It was an honor to play such an amazing event!  Thanks to the Desert Hearts crew - Kristoff, Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Matt (Marbs), David (Porkchop), Ryan (Deep Jesus), and what must have been 100+ volunteers to make the party all that it was.  I don't think I've ever seen so much art at an event, super impressive feel and vibe around all the art pieces and deco elements present.  Everyone was buzzing about it.  Such excellent organization and signage everywhere, it was really a sight to behold.  Many people were shocked by the high level of production at this event and the only reason I wasn't is that I have been to the 2 prior Desert Hearts events and also collaborated twice with the crew as "Tropical Hearts" - so... I had a feeling about this one :)  My expectations were high, and were still exceeded...

Last I want to thank the DH crew for letting me extend my set in Treavor's absence (his flight from Canada was cancelled) rather than filling in with someone not on the lineup.  I am biased of course but I believe you made the right call :)

Tilt Shift is an Event Brand Managed and Curated by Melbourne Artist @the-stockholm-syndrome

Tilt Shift sits firmly left of center, a difficult-to-label square peg that unintentionally fails to fit a pigeonhole. Borrowing from the photography term, Tilt Shift refers to two different types of movement, a selective focus with a large depth of field used to control perception. This can be applied to our music policy, tilting the vertical axis resulting in a sharp area of focus without reducing the depth of field. The selective focus that can be achieved by both tilting and shifting movements, It's compelling because the effect is different from that which you may have become accustomed to. This movement is often used to avoid the convergence of parallel lines, or as we have come to think of it, it’s where the lines blur.

https://www.instagram.com/erin_void 

For this mix I selected some dreamy and funky italo-disco and synthpop hits that reminded me of being somewhere warm and sunny. For me it was a perfect antidote to a snowy and very chilly weekend at home. Thanks, Rune, for inviting me on the Universal Beats podcast to share my map to a lovely italo getaway!

Erin Void is a vinyl DJ based in Columbus Ohio with a taste for 80's electronic sounds including italo/euro disco, synthpop, Hi-NRG, electro, new beat and EBM, as well as contemporary productions influenced by that era. Spinning at regional clubs and parties, and making occasional guest appearances on local radio, her sets introduce dancers and listeners to a mix of gems both old and new.

An absolute stormer from Do!!You!!! Radio resident and legend of second-hand vinyl emporium Music & Video Exchange, @senrichard. Taking Paterson's lush Balearic original, he switches it up to a rarely-head swung triplet groove and hammers it with squelchy, elastic, rasping electro synths to make for a very interesting contrast.

Gus Paterson - Neretic (Richard Sen Remix) [Citizens Of Vice]

Dinsomnia, where 'D' stands for Daria colliding with the relentless grip of insomnia. Here, the night isn't merely a void to fill but a canvas for the twisted genius of sleepless minds. Insomnia, that fickle friend, becomes the ultimate muse, propelling the ceaseless pursuit of creativity through the witching hours. For some, the night whispers sweet lullabies; for others, it's a cacophony of torment. Yet, amidst the chaos, those who embrace insomnia are drawn into a shadowy realm of pulsating beats and bass, fuelled by the desolate stretches of midnight roads and the eerie glow of gas station lights.

Every step on this journey is a gamble, where hope and doubt perform a macabre dance, each vying for dominance. Through trials and tribulations aplenty, the promise of a long-awaited reward looms tantalisingly close, yet forever out of reach. This odyssey isn't for the faint-hearted but for the seekers, the ones who see the night as more than just a passage of time. Amidst the nocturnal fraternity of lost souls, Dinsomnia offers a sanctuary—a place where authenticity reigns supreme, and the restless find solace in their shared madness under the watchful gaze of the moon

Dynamic D #43 15-05-2024

Body Talk is a party concept in Antwerp run by John Noseda (We Can Dance, Body Talk, Running Back) & Bordel. Also a radio show now once a month on WAV with local to international guests.

The German DJ, producer, and label boss of Rurutu Records is known for his versatility and graceful skills in the DJ booth. Maltitz has been rocking the turntables since 2006.

Born and raised in Wuppertal, Maltitz is the beast of the Ruhr area and can draw upon 20 years of DJ experience. After moving to Berlin in 2014, he continued his artistic journey. From House to techno, from Italo-disco to electro and back again – in the booth, he exudes plenty of energy and can captivate the crowd in an instant. He crafts exciting transitions between tracks that are instinctive and captivating, whether optimizing his sound for a large festival stage or fine-tuning for a more intimate vibe in a small, sweaty basement.

Live @ Desert Hearts - Ben Annand - 037

Ben Annand has always had a major influence on Desert Hearts. We first met Ben at his Tropical Campout party back in 2012, and it was actually during that party that Mikey Lion & Lee Reynolds really connected for the first time. A lot of people don't know this but some of the very first Desert Hearts parties were actually collaboration events with Ben Annand called Tropical Hearts. They were raw, unpredictable, and amazing, but most importantly they were the foundation that our community would be built upon. Ben has always been a first class DJ in every sense of the word. He can play House, he can play Techno... he can pretty much play it all. This set in particular was one of our favorite sets from him. A truly classic House set from our Desert Hearts Spring Festival, this ones sure to take you back to 10am on Saturday morning. We love Ben and we know you will too! Enjoy! <3

Innerflight Podcast 109: Ben Annand Live At Cascadia 2019

An absolute dream of a party with 48 hours of house and techno on Funktion One Sound in a beautiful forest setting!  The best Tropical party yet!  Many thanks to Desert Hearts crew for working together with us on this collaboration <3

Recorded between 12:30 and 2:00am on Saturday night, right in the sweet spot but there were many many sweet spots at this event and absolutely every dj played to a great crowd.  

I took things deeper, back and forth between lighter and trippier for this one.  Adnan's set last year showed that you could go deep with the crowd at that time and get great response so I paid attention to that, knowing we had lots of banging music in the night and wanting to break that up a bit.  

One of the top dj experiences of my life, I was totally comfortable here and finally found the perfect balance between my need to be technically on point with my desire to let loose and have fun!  It was so much fun!  I could go on and on but I won't.  

Enjoy the music!  <3 <3 <3

Biography:

In his zone from deep house to techno, Ben Annand pairs impeccably smooth mixing skills with a dynamic style that keeps the music moving, artfully playing with breakdowns and spending most of his time in the mix.

“For me, a great mix is the interplay of 2 unique pieces of music, creating something greater than the sum of the parts - and a great set weaves those mixes into a musical flow you can’t help but lose yourself in on the dance floor.”

Ben fell in love with dancing and rave culture in 1995, and learned to mix in 1996. Just 2 years later he became resident dj at the famed Moontribe Gathering, and started his own production company, Tropical. The first half of his career was mostly focused on DJing abroad, with 13 trips to Moscow’s Propaganda club, travel across Russia, Spain, and Mexico, an appearance at Wiggle at Fabric in London and two at the Labyrinth Festival in Japan.  

In more recent years, Ben Annand became a top West Coast festival DJ, and recently played a standout set at his 5th consecutive Lightning in a Bottle (CA). He has also appeared at Sunset Campout and Desert Hearts (CA), Oregon Eclipse (OR), Photosynthesis and Cascadia (WA), Shambhala and Motion Notion (BC, Canada).

As organizer of Tropical, he's donated over $32,000 to charity, hosted zero-waste events in Hawaii, and presented gender-balanced dj lineups.

Whatever his project,, Ben Annand is always contributing, and always thinking outside the box.
