Desert Hearts – HTL ft. Techno Tupac (Original Mix)
Near the end of April, the Desert Hearts collective of Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, and Marbs put out their first official release from Desert Hearts as a unified artist project with a two song EP called “California”, which also included “Dancing Feet”. The boys have joined forces once again on another catchy tune called “HTL” featuring Techno Tupac. Standing for ‘House, Techno, and Love’, the deep and groovy track was released on Desert Hearts, the record label started by Mikey Lion in 2014.
“House, Techno, & Love… We Are All Desert Hearts.” This has been the mantra since 2012, when Desert Hearts threw its first party with one intention: to spread as much love and positive energy as possible. From the very beginning, love has been the message. A frequency sent out into the world, calling in those who resonate with it. House, Techno, & Love is more than a phrase. It’s the foundation of our family. A spectrum of sound from house to techno, united by love as the driving force on and off the dancefloor. Driven by commanding vocals from Techno Tupac, the track doesn’t ask for your attention, it takes it.”
San Diego native Mikey Lion, English artist Lee Reynolds, and Southern California native Marbs will all be playing at June Jam 2026, which takes place Friday June 12 through Monday June 15 at Playa Ponderosa in Arizona. Also performing will be the likes of Nala, Desert Dwellers, Chef Boyarbeatz, Dela Moon, Siren & Seer, Skysia, Tara Brooks, The Sponges, and more.
Los Angeles based Techno Tupac John Gibbons has performed at festivals such as Same Same But Different, Beyond Wonderland, and Electric Forest.
