This one was of the best parties I played all year. Recorded Live on Halloween 2021 @ Walter Where?House in Phoenix, AZ

Mikey Lion - Live @ Walter Where?House - Halloween 2021

I just played my favorite set of 2021 last weekend in Toronto at Coda. What a way to finish off the year. UPH Collective throws a hell of a party and I got to play for 3 hours to a packed house. I don't get to play enough extended sets these days, but when I do I always make the most of them. I was on Cloud 9 after I finished this set and I'm stoked I get to share it with you. Enjoy!

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

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

FUTURE FREQUENCIES is a residency from DJ, Producer, Ninja Tune A&R and SOS Music Co-founder, Maddy Maia.

On this month’s installment FUTURE FREQUENCIES, Maddy Maia is joined by rising producer Nala.
Just announced as one of the select few Beatport Next 2024 artists, Nala has had an incredible surge of momentum with her viral “Me Me Me” release and co-signs from the biggest names in dance music including Solomun, who recently had her on his Diynamic Art Basel party lineup. She is quickly gaining notoriety as a tastemaker with her Riot Grrrl meets dance floor creative approach, which was sparked by the launch of her own Mi Domina label imprint.

Dreaming

Timeline is a deep and atmospheric house track built around a blend of diverse organ sounds, each adding its own texture and color. Layered with driving rhythms, warm basslines, and evolving melodies, the track creates a timeless groove that feels both classic and forward thinking. A unique fusion of organic tones and club energy designed to move both body and mind.

Someone had to get the party started at Dirtybird Campout. Beyond excited to release my b2b set with Porkchop - Live from one of the best parties of the year. Peace!

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.
