Desert Hearts began as a renegade Mojave Desert party in 2012, founded by Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Marbs, Porkchop, and Kristoff McKay. What started as a single underground event grew into a global boutique festival brand, a roaming City Hearts tour, and its own label, Desert Hearts Records (launched in 2014). Known for an open, one-stage vibe, Desert Hearts creates intimate festival experiences that blend dance music with a sense of community. The collective continues to expand its reach with signature live sets, immersive stages, and a robust ecosystem of events and releases worldwide.
