What's Up Desert Hearts Family,

I'm proud to release my full set from our Desert Hearts 10 Year Anniversary Festival. If I had to choose one, this is my favorite set I've ever played, hands down.  This party for me was 3 years in the making with the constant setbacks from the pandemic and I've literally dreamed about playing this set for our Desert Hearts Family since 2019.  Not only did I play my best, but we all had so much pent-up energy going into this festival and I truly believe we expulsed all the love and positivity we had inside us into the universe during these 2 hours which made for the most radical DJ experience I've ever had while surrounded by my family & friends. If you're an up-and-coming DJ watching this, I hope one day you'll get to experience something like this because it was one of the most incredible moments of my life. This is what this music and this movement are all about.

House, Techno, & Love... We Are All Desert Hearts.

Love Always,
Mikey

It was such an honor and a privilege to be invited back to play this legendary venue in Berlin. Sisyphos was celebrating their anniversary with their 'Hippyphos' week-long celebration. I played on the Strand (beach) stage from 19:00-22:30, it was ripping with tons of beautiful people in the moment, and it was one of my favorite sets I've played this year. After not being in Berlin for over 3 years due to the pandemic this was an incredibly special experience for me and I'm so grateful to have returned for my 3rd time playing at one of my favorite venues in the world. 

Thank you to everyone that danced with me, celebrated this incredible space, and got lost in the music... and a big thank you to Sisyphos for welcoming back. I'll remember this experience forever. 

We had to cut off the recorder for the last 30 minutes of my set for the next act to get ready, but here's 3 hours of gritty, groovy, techno, techy goodness. I'm grateful to share this with you and I hope you enjoy the experience. 

Peace & love peace ✌️❤️

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 ;)

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.
