I had the peaktime midnight slot with the honor of playing after Lee Burridge, so I started this one off with an organic vibe then transitioned through prog, tech-house, and just some straight up bangers. A few unreleased ID's in there from my boys Enamour , m.o.n.r.o.e and Saqib.

Also funny moment: you may notice that the set just abruptly ends. That’s because the next act accidentally unplugged the wrong cable from the mixer. Was definitely a nerve-wracking moment….BUT my recorder also recorded the crowd noise, so it’s kinda a cool little audio capture of what it felt like...and you can literally hear the next DJ say "OH SHIT!!" ....The warm applause from all of you certainly softened the blow :)

atish - [098] - Live At Texas Eclipse Festival (april 2024)

Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe! (DON JB REMIX)

Jack up the volume and pop your meds because this mix is not for the faint of heart! I pulled no punches on this filthy bass journey and if it doesn't make you move, you might already be dead. This was recorded live on The People's Banana at Lightning in a Bottle, Saturday night, May 25, 2024!

Heart Medication (Live @ LIB 2024 on The People's Banana)

NYMDA & joeB - DISRESPECT (WIP)

Hello Hot Dogs! I've waited for this day for over 14 years: mix #100 is live. When I released my first mix in 2010, I titled it [001] instead of [01]. Using three digits was aspirational, a quiet promise to myself that I might one day reach triple digits.

These mixes trace the narrative of my adult life. They've been the thread connecting me with so many of you—some I'll never meet, others who've become close friends (and even roommates—hi Dan, hi James).

Back when I released my first mix in 2010, we were still buying mix CDs for our cars. Soundcloud was just emerging, and I committed to monthly releases to this new platform. I may be overreaching here, but I can’t remember any other DJs presenting conceptual mixes, monthly, as packaged works of art: a conceptual title, description, and artwork. That consistency and novelty helped build a following outside of my local scene, and when my 2012 Robot Heart recording came out, things really took off internationally.

By 2015, the momentum led me to leave my software engineering job for full-time DJing—largely thanks to these Soundcloud mixes. I was purely a DJ then with a nascent Manjumasi label formed with Mark Slee, not releasing my first original track “Peculiar Colors” until 2017.

The landscape in 2024 looks different. As Soundcloud rotted to hell and Spotify rose, the value of mixes has sharply declined. With thousands released daily, they've become ubiquitous. The career path for electronic artists now revolves around original productions and social media presence.

This industry evolution pushed me toward producing my own music, opening up new creative paths I'm grateful for. The social media aspect has felt natural, as it's been an integral part of my project from the start. These last few years, the touring schedule, studio time, and home life as a husband and father slowed me down from my monthly cadence, but each mix still feels like a deep-rooted part of my message to the world, (mostly) through other people's music. 

Mix [100] was recorded September 7, 2024, at Public Works in San Francisco, the city that "raised me" as a club kid, where I first learned to DJ. This 5-hour set marked my last show in North America before taking an indefinite mental health break from touring. Playing this set was emotional, to the point of tears in the DJ booth, with support pouring in from both new listeners and those who've been there since the beginning. I couldn’t think of a better way to reach 100.

I've also created http://www.atish100.com to house all my mixes and their 1,400+ tracklists in one place, which I'll keep updating as new mixes go up on Soundcloud and YouTube.

This mix marks a meaningful milestone for me. Thank you for making this journey possible. You, and the 1400+ artists and labels I referenced helped create a life I never imagined.

Live @ Desert Hearts - Rodriguez Jr. - 040

In honor of releasing our 40th live mix from our Desert Hearts Festival, we couldn't be happier to share with you the most talked about set in the history of DH. Everything we knew about live House & Techno was completely blown away during this set as Rodriguez Jr. gave us the performance of a life time. Described by him as "One of the best parties he's ever played", the vibe was on another level, the music was through the roof, and his performance had everyone in a musical frenzy. We all had a feeling that Rodriguez Jr. was going to be the highlight of our Desert Hearts Spring Festival, but we had no idea that he was about to set the bar for every DJ & Performer at our festival moving forward. Enjoy Desert Hearts Fam!

Desert Hearts - words still fail me, that festival is perfection. The nature, the people, the vibe. Nothing but love. Here’s the recording of my Sunday afternoon set. <3

And now for the one you’ve all been waiting for... @DamianLazarus’ 4-hour sunrise set from Desert Hearts Festival 2018. 

To be honest, we've been waiting to put this set out ever since we first conceptualized the idea of D Laz playing DH. Damian has been one of our favorite DJs and a constant inspiration for us over the years. He’s the only person we’ve given a 4 hour set to and he turned it into something that went down in history alongside the best sets we’ve ever seen at the fest. 

If you’re like us and can’t get enough of Damian, we decided to bring him back to play Haunted Hearts 2018 in Los Angeles (TICKETS: bit.ly/HauntedHeartsLA).

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

What's Up Desert Hearts Family,

We're super stoked to share with you Will Clarke's live set from Desert Hearts Festival 2019.

On friday night at the fest, Will came in and tore our house apart, spinning his signature sounds of hard thumping house and techno to a dance floor that was ready to get beat up.

Will has always been a great DJ & Producer but he's an even better dude. We couldn't be happier to welcome him to the DH Family and we're sure you guys will enjoy this flashback to his set.

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