What's Up Desert Hearts Family,

We couldn't think of a better way to kick off 2018 than with a massive 14 track Family & Friends, Vol. 2 Compilation. Stacked with a gang of our favorite Desert Hearts Records artists alongside some hot new up-and-comers, this comp spans the full spectrum of sounds you'd find on a DH dance floor. From housey day time grooves and tripped out sunrise jams to bangin' tech house and late night techno, we're really proud to say there's something on here for everyone. Let us know what you think!

It's 2018 and we're pushin' our movement harder than ever.

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

Matt Ossentjuk - No Goin Back ft. Justin Jay

What's up Desert Hearts Family,

So excited to share with you an EP from our boy from Berlin, Andreas Henneberg, as he drops first solo outing on the label. Andreas has been a staple at Desert Hearts, crushing the festival more than a few times over the years while also releasing an EP from his side project The Glitz. Along the way he's been an steady contributor to our Family & Friends Compilations so we knew it was time for a proper EP. 

The title track "Password Invalid" is a hip hop infused anthem that's been rocking our parties over the last year. Just as the lyrics say, "the swag is automatic" and this track drips in attitude. The B-side "Gettin Freaky" has Andreas' signature sound all over it. Powerful analog synths pave the way for the ultimate funk blast halfway through the track. Finally, to round out the package, the remix is a bomb put together by RYBO and yours truly.

Do yourself a favor and if you can, catch Andreas Henneberg at this year's Desert Hearts Festival. He's one of my favorite DJs and an even better person.

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

Q&A w/ @ClemLeeOKNF
Founder of @OKNFCollective & @OKNFRecords
-

1. Who/what influenced you to start producing music?

The song that inspired me to pick up my first DAW was "Erick Morillo Ft. Shawnee Taylor - Live Your Life." I absolutely LOVED that track - its simple but the use of soulful vocals, classic house chords, and a high energy drop makes me want to dance every time I hear it. I also have to pay respects to the late Avicii (RIP). His 'In The Studio with Future Music' video of him remixing "Dancing in My Head" taught me the fundamentals of FL Studio, the DAW I still use today. 

2. Why did you choose to remix this song?

Anyone who's heard me DJ knows that I love dropping those throwback heaters in my sets. Nothing brings a dance floor together faster than having everyone singing along to a fire tech house remix of their favorite 1990s hiphop / current Top 40 track. I wanted to pay homage to the progressive house artists that introduced me to EDM back in 2010 so I picked this absolute classic by Adrian Lux and put my own tech house spin on it. 
P.S. Enjoy having those vocals stuck in your head :)

3. Top 3 electronic music producers of all time?

Oh god, this is such a tough one... there's so many factors in play! In order to narrow it down a bit, I'll pick 3 artists that are still putting out new music. Based on consistency, quality, and overall vibe (in no particular order): 

Tom Misch, DJOKO, Walker & Royce 

4. Drop some wisdom, any advice to the up and coming producers?

- Be grateful for the opportunities that come your way. We're honestly so blessed to even have a chance to create and perform music live, not a lot of people are lucky enough to do that!

- Grind more, Instagram less. Marketing is incredibly important but even good marketing can't compete with quality productions.

- Don't let the industry wear you down. You'll get rejected a lot and have to deal with many difficult situations as a DJ and producer. Always remember why you're doing this in the first place and enjoy yourself as much as possible! Having genuine and supportive friends in the industry definitely helps with this. (Shoutout to the homies @iamRIFFA, @Adrian_Hex, @ItsTheWestend, @Aylen, @its28mm)

- If all else fails just follow my super secret, ultra effective formula for success: Effort x Time = Results

Up first is the deftly-produced 'Wancho Body' with an infectious groove driven by rotating rhythms and an undulating bass. Track 2 speaks for itself, as indeed, it's 'All U Need' to be seduced onto the dance floor. So I gotta ask. May I have this dance?

"PASS ME A SHAKER!" The words reach you from afar in a South American accent. You glance to the side and see a beautiful woman, dressed head to toe in bright colors. She’s shuffling her feet in a very 'salsa-ish' fashion with a giant smile. It must be fiesta time, because she feels like dancing. Would someone please get her a shaker!?

Some people call him the Brazilian Stallion. OK truthfully we just made that up, but it does have a nice ring to it. Ricardo, professionally known as @ciszakofficial, is a gun in the studio. 

Throughout his new 2 tracker you can hear the attention to detail when it comes to crafting his bass, drums, and leads. The a-side, 'Check Me Out' featuring Rhiannon Roze is a dance-floor destroyer. Its fast, heavy, the synths are bangin’, and all of those elements are weaved around a deep synth breakdown and cheeky vocal. The b-side 'That Beat' is a switch to the dark side with a locked bass groove perfect for those early morning hours.

So do us a favour will you – pass this man a shaker! Welcome to the family Ciszak…

Ciszak - That Beat (BOC097)

Eveningperple release their debut Holy Molé EP 'More Romance' featuring 3 new tracks and remixes by RIFFA, Proper Villains, and House Divided. Bringing back their funky fresh stylings to the label – their previous releases on Holy Molé include the Winter Fresh compilation and a remix of Codes & Astronomar 'How We Do'.

Leading with dreamy, amorous stabs, the title track 'More Romance' introduces a deep bassline that carries through the funky rhythms and fresh soundscapes. 'U Really R' moves into brighter melodic flavors with lush, natural samples balanced out by cheeky drum programming and a sassy bass growl. Diving straight into bouncy, syncopation, 'Mirage' moves through ethereal instrumental waves before bringing back the swinging rhythms now with spacey synths as the melody takes flight.

Proper Villains amps up the remix of 'U Really R' with oscillating acid lines and a heavy low-end, meanwhile RIFFA layers his remix with propulsive percussion and a heartbeat bassline. House Divided drives the funk way up remixing 'More Romance' with tech-heavy grooves.

The next single off Mikey Lion's debut album is a collaboration with long time friend, Sacha Robotti. Every time Mikey and Sacha get together in the studio they end up making something special, and this time is no different. "Do or Die" is one of the toughest songs on the album and made for people that like to dance their asses off. Enjoy!
