I took some time away to write a short collection of piano and string pieces named 'Of Sleep and Time'. This is the opening piece.

Of Sleep and Time is available for free download at https://levipatel.bandcamp.com/

I have recently released an alternate version 'As she passes (nocturne)', included on my album A Shifting Lightness https://levipatel.bandcamp.com/album/a-shifting-lightness

I.L.L.E.S.T. (2009)

Für Lena † 2011
___

her short life ended so suddenly and unexpected with only 20. beside the huge pain i experienced through her decision to leave, i think i can now say after years of thoughts and reflection, that it was also the event i learned the most of.

this day changed literally everything. it was the hardest reminder that we only have very limited time together, so early in life. it effected all my decisions, every breath is a deeper one since this day. i see with a clear mind and open heart now. it gave me more passion, the ability for self care, it strengthened my empathy & understanding and created a even stronger will to leave the world better than i found it.

i’m sharing this because i don’t want her to become forgotten and meaningless. so, this is what i learned. maybe you get something good from it, too.

be good to yourself. be good to people, even the ones you think that don’t deserve it. be kind to every other sentient being. everyone has her or his own invisible struggles, be aware of it and respect it. keep the people that don’t make you grow and keep you small out of your life. trust yourself, but be ready to question yourself, too. fight. try to find beauty in the saddest and darkest moments. don’t be surprised of change, because it will happen. don’t live a life of bad compromises, go for the whole. don’t fear insecurity. be more brave than you actually are.

Was am Ende

While still waiting on the mixes to be chopped up from our Desert Hearts Festival 2017, we wanted to give you one of our favorite throw back sets from our 2016 festival, our boy Evan Casey at 4am on Sunday night. Evan's been a part of our family since the very beginning and he truly shines at the latest part of the night when the freaks come out. You can tell by R. Fentz's face in the background that it's crunk hour. O_o

Enjoy the beatdown.

The Prologue (Rough Mix)

What's Up Desert Hearts Family?

Over the past seven years that we've been throwing this festival, Marbs and Evan Casey have always been at the forefront of delivering darker sounds to our beloved dance floor. So when they wanted to do a 4 hour b2b rinse into sunrise to end our Saturday DH block, you know we were down.

This year they absolutely tore the stage apart with ripping basslines, emotional melodies, and otherworldly moments. It was a journey to say the least.

So today, on the heels of the second single off their inaugural release on Desert Hearts Black, we proudly present to you their set from the festival this year.

In Marbs own words: "We’ve been getting hit up left and right with questions about when mine and Evan Casey’s B2B set from @deserthearts will be released, finally that wait is over. Today we unleash the full 4 hours for everyone to relive and we couldn’t be more excited to do so. This set was very special to us and there was a lot  of intention and energy building up to it. 

"We’ve become close friends over the last couple years, he lived with me for awhile, he asked me to be his best man in his wedding, we’ve been creating a ton together, and we just started a new passion project, @desertheartsblack, a new sub label for our community focused on the darker and deeper sounds we all enjoy. There was definitely a lot of energy going into this moment. 

"Sharing that stage with one of my best friends is something I’ll remember forever. Dark, driving, melodic, journey techno from our hearts to yours. Grab some headphones, take a trip back into our minds and relive that unforgettable night. Big hugs and all the love ✌🏼❤️"

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