|| Believe You Me || Feat. Tara Brooks (Desert Hearts / Subtract Music / La) / Ginkgo + Andy Warren

We are thrilled to bring you the Portland debut of LA's Tara Brooks ( Desert Hearts / Subtract Music)! Tara's deep, psychedelic selections, mixing prowess, and captivating stage presence had us entranced when we caught her at Sacred Spaces on the playa two years ago. It was one of those moments when you know you can take your jacket and backpack off, cause you just found what you were looking for. Make no mistake - she has that extra something special (is it Love?) that marks the difference between a great DJ set and a magical experience. Just ask anyone who has seen her perform at BPM, Lightning In A Bottle, Envision, Desert Hearts, Burning Man.... you get the idea. Not to be missed.

More details TBA. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// More about Tara: There is a line where the dark fuses with the light, the surreal with the sublime, the graceful with the powerful; it is within this line that Tara Brooks has carved out her truly distinct sound. Whether playing at an intimate club, a packed festival or a magical sunrise deep in the Burning Man Playa, Tara's music envelopes the crowd, stirring them with deep grooves, hypnotic rhythms and haunting melodies. Behind the decks, her passion and love for music is contagious-- Savoring every moment her smile beams out to a sea of faces who are right there with her, dancing away and smiling right back. Growing up in a house where the warm melodies of old records constantly filled the air, the Southern California-born Tara began absorbing music at a very early age. She grew up having a love and appreciation for everything from classical to classic rock, from hip-hop to punk and everything in between. But it was within the Los Angeles underground dance scene where Tara ultimately found her calling. Struck by the power of the music and the loving vibe of the scene, Tara immediately knew she had to be a part of it. Learning on vinyl, Tara put her first needle on a record in 2007 and hasn't looked back since. With her unique sound, loving energy and fierce work ethic leading the charge, Tara has played some of the most respected venues both domestic and abroad including The BPM Festival, WMC Space, Lightning in a Bottle, Sound (Los Angeles), PublicWorks (SF) Verboten (New York) and of course a little place she calls Home, Burning Man. When she's not touring, you can find Tara locked in the studio. Rather then focusing on genre or style, Tara is sonically inspired by personal experience and connection with her environment. Always striving to translate a specific feeling or moment, Tara creates a sound that is all her own: Compelling, sophisticated, haunting and healing, piercing your heart and invigorating your soul. Whether it's through production or playing, Tara's continued passion for sharing her music knows no bounds. From being Desert Hearts and Subtract Music's newest resident to kicking of the new year with Louie Fresco's MEXA Records BPM party and Costa Rica's Envision Festival along with several productions and remixes being set for release the future is filled with light for Tara Brooks as she continues to do what she loves her way and always from the heart.
