MPB em alta temperatura, memória sonora em combustão!

When we landed here from the furthest star in Orions belt we took on human forms and walked among you. For decades we watched and listened and learned. There's much to be said regarding the human race. The vast array of emotions and inquisitive senses that seem to have overpowered spirituality yet give way easily to things like love and rage. We are here to help. We are here to guide. We are here and its time we meet.

Enter Dulce Vita (pronounced dol-sie/vee-tah). Nationally requested, dance floor approved! In direct response to specific performances at Burning Man, she has been invited to rock stages in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Chicago, Denver, Miami, Seattle, Portland, Boise, San Diego.  As a DJ performer in San Francisco, how does DV stand out? True individuality happens here as a result of a musical risk. Using the cross fader as her primary canvas with a signature brand of aggressive intent, she performs a sound all her own - an energetic soundscape peppered with loads of texture, chunk, and curious desires you never knew you had across breakbeats, bass house, tech house,  melodic techno, electro, organic house, world beats, downtempo, and bass music.  Emotion evoking dance music is quintessential DV.

Dulce considers any single performance a personal success if she can make a deeply positive impact on at least one person's experience. Since her debut performance at Google headquarters in 2004, you might have already experienced her audio collage of eclectic tracks at underground warehouse venues or major nightclubs such as The Midway, Public Works, The Great Northern, Monarch, Temple.  In the past, Dulce was named WINNER of SF Weekly: City of Spin 2009 (Annual DJ Competition) and her performance at Burning Man earned a prestigious mention in international publication 'DJ Mag' within the 2008 issue featuring Top 100.

Over the years, Dulce has held down numerous DJ residencies based in San Francisco. In 2006, she was proud to be selected as the first female to be affiliated with 'OPULENT TEMPLE' (the infamous large-scale sound camp at Burning Man featuring world class DJs on over 300,000 watts). In 2009, she was invited to wobble out with 'CALIFORNIA DUBSTEP REPUBLIC', a collective of performers who provided the first ever Dubstep float in San Francisco's equivalent of a large scale EDM festival like Love Parade. That year also debuted her solo event production alias: 'DVANT GARDE'. DV created a new breed of event (known as 'Womper Womb') showcasing dubstep, glitch, and breaks with all female DJ talent from Burning Man. Dulce Vita booked nearly 100 performances as a DJ in 2009.  

In 2010, she gained a new monthly residency with 'BELOW ZERO', featuring downtempo, chillout, trip-hop, and IDM.  'UNDERGROUND NOMADS' was introduced in 2013, a weekly show featuring global bass and world step in combination with belly dance performance. Dulce spent many years feeling at home within the Northern California campout and  invitational festival circuit involving Burning Man communities. In 2020, Dulce became officially affiliated with 'STRATEGIK SF'.  Burning Man community based groups she has performed with over the years also include: DUCK POND, ROOT SOCIETY, DISTRIKT, HOOKADOME, SPACE COWBOYS, DUSTY RHINO, BRASS TAX, FLAMING LOTUS GIRLS, SLUT GARDEN, DISORIENT, DANCETRONAUTS, SACRED SPACES, BASS CAMP, NEXUS, OSIRIS, BMIR.  

Dulce has also provided A&R representation in past at Winter Music Conference in Miami for two Oakland based labels, Mizumo Music (tech, filtered disco, and electro house) and Funky Cactus Recordings (big beat and nu skool breaks).. Her actual birth name is Dulce Vita.

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.
