It’s been nearly a year since the release of Tourist’s emotionally stirring Patterns EP. Born around the London
UK garage electronica movement, his music carries pop patterns akin to Disclosure and Sam Smith (they co-wrote ‘Stay With Me’) but with far more Balearic swells. When we caught him at LIB he impressed us with his passionately poetic progressions. It was a liberating experience, to say the least. He’ll be bringing his LIVE setup to Coachella.

Join us as Tourist’s signature slow builds wash over us on Saturday. We expect a few vocal guests and features from his forthcoming August release.

Tourist – I Can’t Keep Up ft. Will Heard

Tourist – Patterns ft. Lianne La Havas

Tourist – Jupiter

CHVRCHES – Lies (Tourist Remix)

We still remember the occasion that was Tensnake’s debut of Glow a year ago. Album single ‘No Relief’ made it into almost every playlist and mix we listened to or curated. The album in general was great for after-hours maxing. Much of his production is, for that matter, well suited for beach-breezy post-parties.

Listening to his growth since tropical disco’s champion ‘Coma Cat’ came out over 5 years ago has been quite the adventure; seeing him at the City Steps stage will bring it all back around for us.

Tensnake – No Relief ft. Fiora

Tensnake – Coma Cat

Friendly Fires – Hurting (Tensnake Remix)

Pet Shop Boys – Thursday (Tensnake Remix)

UK duo Maribou State have been known for their inventive productions for the better part of 3 years. Their remix of Ultraista’s ‘Gold Dayzz’ still finds its way into our late night playlists. Yet, a busy touring schedule means new material comes rather sparse.

You could thus figure our excitement when new single ‘Rituals’ advertised their debut, Portraits, coming out later this year. ‘Rituals’ is a minimal dance track with atmospheric acoustics and mysterious vocals that further validates their unconventional allure. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the album has in store for us.

Four Tet – Text022 (Maribou State Edit)

Wax Motif • TICKETS

Wax Motif is Australia’s answer to the G-House movement. Being from the land down under, Wax Motif’s unique style maintains the electro bounciness found in much of that ‘Strayan sound. Mix that in with G-House’s framework and you’ve got downright dark and dance-y vibes. We’re bringing him to our WAVS series this Friday (2|6) with support from our brother Bones. See you there, G’s!

HOW TO ENTER

Standard procedure. The contest ends at 12PM Friday February 6th!

Fast on the heels of a record year, the Desert Hearts crew is showing no signs of slowing down. 2015 will be a year of tremendous growth for the fun-loving collective and we’re excited to see it unfold for them. Their next installment comes by way of their City Hearts series. It is being hosted at Beyond the Stars Palace in Glendale, CA on February 14th – a most fitting venue name, we might add. If you’ve ever been to a Desert Hearts party then you already know. Love abounds. If you’ve not, it’s never too late to join the family.

Ten hours of tunes will be provided by the DH team who have Mastered in Party Flow Mechanics (its a real thing, swears). There will also be live art and entertainment. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate Valentine’s than with House, Techno, & Love. See you out there, lovers.

HOW TO ENTER

Standard procedure. The contest ends at 12PM Friday, February 13th!

Deep Jesus vs. Marbs – Desert Hearts Live 020

Lxury is definitely one of the more bold producers in the game right now. His sound is a cross between UK garage, house, and who knows what else. Honestly, we don’t really care because, when it comes down to it, it most certainly spurs movement.

His newest EP Into The Everywhere is out now on Greco-Roman.

01. Pick You Up
02. Equals
03. Square 1 (feat Deptford Goth)
04. World 2
