Mikey Lion
It all started with Wu-Tang & Daft Punk. What began as a hobby scratching records at 13 has since turned Mikey Lion into one of the fastest rising DJs in the US. After honing his skills during a 4 month residency at Super-club Razzmatazz, Barcelona in 2009, Mikey returned home with a love for tribalistic grooves grooves and the passion to leave his mark on the world. Upon his return, Mikey became a Resident DJ at Lovelife, San Diego’s premier House & Techno party, playing alongside the likes of Lee Burridge, Noir, Justin Martin, & Blondish among others. Shortly thereafter, a brief stint at club Bang Bang saw Mikey join forces with the likes of Seth Troxler, Damian Lazarus, Cajmere, & The Martinez Brothers.
But when playing club land began to run it’s course, Mikey searched for something more. Trips to Burning Man and Lightning in a Bottle Festival left Mikey brimming with inspiration, so he set off with his best friends Lee Reynolds, Marbs, Deep Jesus, Kristoff and his younger brother, Porkchop, to create a new kind of festival. One that was based entirely on House, Techno, and Love…
In November 2012, a band of renegades set off deep into the Mojave and Desert Hearts was born. A 70 hour no holds barred marathon of music, Desert Hearts has quickly become one of the premier underground parties in the world with Resident Advisor calling it “One of America’s best electronic music experiences.” Pulse Radio also listed Desert Hearts in their list of “Best Boutique Festivals To Do Before You Die” while THUMP ranked it as the #3 festival in North America.
With a string of releases set for 2015, an incredible movement behind him, and Desert Hearts Records taking off under his lead, life has never felt so good and it’s only getting better…
