LessThan3 | Dive Into The Deep 31: Curated By Mikey Lion of Desert Hearts

The B Side of our very first release on Desert Hearts Records has Mikey Lion & Jonjo Williams telling a story through the eyes of one of the world's biggest superstars, the one and only James Brown. Sampled from one of the most classic and hilarious on-air interviews in history, it's safe to say we've all been on his level at some point in our lives. This song is a tribute to James Brown and a reminder that no matter what problems you have in life, a positive outlook and a great sense of humor will get you through just about anything. It's time to bring back the fun in the funk. We Are All Desert Hearts.

Rewind: 1989. Germany is enjoying its own summer of love. Thick waves of acid house wash every oompah band out of every sleepy German hamlet and a hazy season of heady parties ensues. West and east united by vibe, it was the starter course for the reunification feast the followed later that year.

According to German rave legend, the south eastern town of Halle was home to the finest of raves. Many of which were hosted by Opa Herbet. Super Flu Felix's grandpappy, and Monaberry's number one mascot, Herbert - aged 50 at the time - was renowned around town as THE key player in the acid house movement.

You see he wasn't just a savvy promoter, but also a deeply spiritual gentleman. He knew his grandson would fulfil a rich dance music destiny, he knew his family would create and contribute to the life-affirming world of house music. So he set up Monaberry, a label in waiting for his future generations.

An insightful fella, especially for his age, he knew Monaberry would enjoy unique success. He knew they would develop a firm pact of like-minded creative souls. He knew they'd host endless global parties, develop an extensive repertoire of beautiful, emotive, tech-laced house and enjoy the full support from A-list DJs. He could feel all of this in his rickety old bones. He also knew they'd release this stunning collection of exclusives...

Featuring Monaberry's most consistent friends and introducing two new family members (The Glitz and Benn Finn), '25 Years Monaberry' is an ageless document that not only showcases the label's highly distinctive range and remit, but also celebrates the very roots of house music. Robust rhythms, slinky synths, stark sonic contrasts and endless holes of introspective soul... Whether you're new to the label, or like grand old Opa himself you've had a feeling about these playful German cats a quarter of a century ago, '25 Years Monaberry' sums up everything that's great about the music we adore from a label we love...

The soft sentimental strings of Benn Finn's 'Oil In The Ocean'. The hazy harmonies and funky falsettos of Super Flu's 'Oooooh'. The poignant, rainy day chord swoops and alley-lurking sub bass of Monkey Safari's 'Middlestreet'. The unfettered positivity of AndHim's piano-slapping riff marathon 'Melte'. The dark grunts and muscular shuffles of The Glitz's stuttering, wailing tech funker 'Nineteen'. The glistening, guitar-gilded sunset serenade of Martin Waslewski's 'Floading' . The vocal insistency and the hypnotic effect of classical house rudiments on Hanne & Lore's 'Lakepeople'. The elephantine swing, short sharp jazz-blasts and techno trickery of Cascandy's 'Rammeln'. The deep bass bubbles and Detroitian string staccato of Dapayk Solo's 'Flying Mona'... Each of these exclusive tracks represents Monaberry at its deepest, most delicious and timeless. And we guarantee they'll still sound ace in 25 years time.

25 years is a long time in any game. But in the music industry It's an eternity. But as long as there are wise old geezers like Opa behind the scenes, we'll surf the endless ocean of years with style.

Andhim - Melte
The Glitz - Nineteen
Martin Waslewski Feat. Sascha Reske - Floading

Somatoast returns to Gravitas Recordings to bring us his heavily anticipated downtempo release, 'Live Dreaming'. These 7 tracks are a graduation from his signature circus dub to more mature and serious journey-like compositions. The album showcases Mark's multi-instrumental abilities at his most acoustically composed body of work-- incorporating touches of guitars, bass, violin, percussion, keys and voice performed and recorded by Mark himself. This human touch allows listeners a peek into more emotional realms of Mark's experience as he sought an outlet for his personal trials and tribulations. But by no means is the prevailing experimentation of sampling and synthesis excluded. It is this electro-acoustic fusion that breathes life into a grounding yet other-worldly listening experience. Over 3 years of work culminates a crystal clear broadcast of Somatoast's auditory vision for electronic downtempo.

Part mythical desert harlequin, part modern soul conductor, Mikey Lion is more than a DJ––He’s a freak of nature and an energy controller. The San Diego-native has earned a dusty mystique over the past few years as the center of the Desert Hearts movement and as a house and techno provocateur with a stage presence that suggests he will ride this wave all the way to the top. If there's one thing Mikey does well, it's get the party started.

Lion, real name Michael Leon, has brought the mothafuckin' ruckus to the stages of Lightning in a Bottle, the dustiest storms at Burning Man, and The Do LaB at Coachella, earning nods from Claude VonStroke, Jamie Jones, and Green Velvet in the process. In doing so, Lion and his signature top hat have developed a boisterous voice in the House & Techno scene with strong tribal, hip-hop, and psychedelic elements.

But it all started with Wu-Tang and Daft Punk. Lion first found his way behind the decks as a thirteen year old kid, scratching underground hip-hop records religiously after school. At Coachella as a seventeen year old, he witnessed that legendary Daft Punk performance on the same night he tasted his first dose of psychedelics. The show had such a monumental impact on him, he gave up Hip-Hop and became a House DJ the very next day.

After honing his craft with weekly marathon DJ sessions at Sala Razzmatazz in Barcelona, Mikey was introduced to Burner culture at Lightning in a Bottle, 2011. It was at his first Burning Man in 2011 that he found a community calling and merged forces with his brother Porkchop, life long friends Marbs & Deep Jesus, and the inimitable Lee Reynolds to form The Desert Hearts Crew.

In November 2012, Desert Hearts began as a seedy, 200-person renegade gathering deep in the Mojave Desert. The intrepid crew barely survived a set of extreme weather conditions and unfortunate circumstances, but that first party sparked a fire. The entire point of that first Desert Hearts was to create as much love as humanly possible, and now that same gathering has evolved into the darling of the West Coast house and techno scene. The Bi-annual festival is capped at 3500 attendees in order to create the best possible vibe. Built upon beautiful people getting as weird as possible to deep and trippy house and techno, Desert Hearts has already achieved iconic status in the North American Festival Scene. 

Desert Hearts has given rise to a family of thousands and it's safe to call it a bonafide movement of love. And while Desert Hearts Records launched in 2014 as a totally-free record label, pushes the sonic aesthetic of the scene, the crew’s busy international calendar of bookings has the DH message spreading far and wide. At the center of it all is Mikey Lion, the dusty prince of desert hearts, a beacon of weird far and wide, and one of this generation’s most compelling agents of love.
