This was such a fun set to dance to that night! He really set the stage with great energy, like always! One of my favorites forbthe energy he always brings behind the decks!

This is my 6-hour open-to-close set recorded live at Walter Studios, Phoenix, AZ

Mikey Lion - Live @ Walter Studios - 6 Hour Open-To-Close set

I'm excited to finally release my set from DH last year for ya'll.   This was easily one of my fave sets that I've ever played.  Sometimes the stars align and blissful magic comes right behind it, this was definitely one of those times.   The DH crew gave me the honor of following my brother Mikey Lion with my set time so I got stuck in immediately because I knew he was gonna slay.  What a show! We are all Desert Hearts! <3 ;)

Live @ Desert Hearts 2022 - Kevin Knapp

So stoked to be back at home on stage at Dirtybird Campout last fall!  This is 100% one of my favorite gigs on the planet and it's such an amazing opportunity to catch up with friends and other artists I adore.   I'm so happy to release my set from the event as promised to help you ease into the groove of 2023. Let get it! <3

Dirtybird Campout 2022 Live @ The Birdhouse - Kevin Knapp

Eyyyo! What's good Desert Hearts Fam?

I'm so hyped to release my sunrise set from Desert Hearts Festival 2024. (Click here for the livestream version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8tUgiKC0nk) 

This, as many know, was a pivotal & important year for our community. We moved our flagship festival to Playa Ponderosa near Flagstaff... and we finally found our new home. This year was something special & arguably the best DH to date. The energy was so palpable. After losing the Los Coyotes Venue, we had been searching for somewhere that fit our vision for 5 years. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to feel at home again. 

I haven't played Sunrise at DH in a very very long time & I had the honors of manning the controls for the very first Sunrise at our new venue. As a little bonus I included 30min of my surprise B2B set with Rinzen at the end. 

Enough of my rambling, thanks everyone who was there with me that magical morning, and to those of you who weren't ~ I genuinely hope I see you out there next year. Sending all the love to you. We Are All Desert Hearts!!!

Enjoy <3

There are few DJs who have as much passion and dedication to this industry as Kevin Knapp. He’s a constant pioneer of the sounds crowds yearn for through his own individual production style and his proclivity for vocal contributions. His stand out vocals turned our heads back in 2012 proclaiming “My Beat Will Control You" with Audiojack and his first Hot Creations cut ”The Drums” alongside A&R head Richy Ahmed in 2013 is still owning dance floors to this day. As of recent, his track “Drug Birds” out of Sola was heavily supported by UK mainstays Hannah Wants and Huxley. 2018 was a big year as Kevin’s collab “Your Mind” with Shiba San was released with Repopulate Mars and swept across dancefloors. Kevin has taken every opportunity to continue his craft leading him from San Francisco to the capital of Techno: Berlin. 

This is not seen as a day job to Kevin, but rather, it’s a way of life. It’s an attempt to communicate with audiences worldwide through his sounds and passion for human connection and it’s working. Whether that be as small as a vocal loop, or as substantial as a full fledged EP on some of the biggest house music labels in world, Knapp will turn his hand to anything in order to continue this journey he’s living day in day out, going BIG in more ways than one. 

As a world touring DJ, Kevin has preformed at many seminary festivals and stages including Dirtybird Campout, Lucidity Festival, Paradise, Get Lost, Cityfox, Sonar, Fabric, Kater Blau, Elrow, and Sankeys, making it clear that Kevin’s sound is an infectious front runner in the house music industry. Just ask his frequent supporters Jamie Jones, Pete Tong, Seth Troxler, The Martinez Brothers, Claude Vonstroke, Patrick Topping, and Hannah Wants about Kevin’s seat at the house music table. Whether it’s a niche underground 200 capacity club, or a stage in Miami in front of several thousand, Knapp pushes to break the boundaries between DJ and spectator. 

With releases on Hot Creations, Crosstown Rebels, Hottrax, Sola, Dirtybird, Truesoul and more, Knapp continues to delve beyond the music and he is positioned to have 2019 be his most poignant year to date.
