It’s been a long time coming for me to experience a Desert Hearts party for myself. For years, my tribe has been a part of the movement, and the movement has since made its way to the bay. I don’t think they, or anyone for that matter, could have dreamed up a better inaugural entrance to the city of fog. Everything about the Desert Hearts crew and the fans they attract remind me of raving before it broke into. Not trying to come off high-nosing, but it felt very different ten years ago…I felt those feelings on the block party they threw for us, and they have a fan in me because of it! See for yourself below:

Recent EP ‘Wolfie/Funeral’ pushes his paces even further into a realm of deep bass.

Benoit & Sergio are a duo we’ve been keeping our ears on and playlists full of for quite some time now. Characterized by a forlorn romanticism, their mellow yet highly danceable sound is perfect for these pensive fall nights. As it so happens, they’re on a quick US tour for the next week and WAVS is one of their stops.

Torosbros and Patrick Dylan will be helping to set the vibes for the night. Come through for a good time!
