Desert Hearts Black w/ Marbs & Guests
Ridgewood, New York
Overview
On September 19, immerse yourself in an evening where techno meets melodic tribal rhythms as Marbs—the influential founder of Desert Hearts and the creative force behind Desert Hearts Black Records—takes over H0l0 New York for a one-of-a-kind sonic journey.
A trailblazer in the electronic music world, Marbs is celebrated for his deep, mystical soundscapes and his unwavering devotion to the ethos of House, Techno, and Love. Hailing from Southern California, Marbs draws inspiration from a diverse musical palette—ranging from the psychedelic tones of Pink Floyd and the raw edge of Tool, to the grooves of underground hip-hop and reggae.
It was a life-changing encounter at San Francisco’s Lovefest, paired with Plastikman's avant-garde performance, that set him on the path of electronic exploration. These formative moments now echo through his sets and productions, crafting experiences that are both introspective and expansive.
Beyond the decks, Marbs has been instrumental in shaping the Desert Hearts movement, helping transform a small gathering into an internationally acclaimed festival. His work cultivates a vibrant community centered on connection, expression, and the unifying power of music.
As the visionary behind Desert Hearts Black, Marbs curates a deeper, more shadowy strain of techno. Tracks like “Ark” and “Gate & Switch” exemplify the label’s aesthetic—immersive, emotive, and irresistibly danceable. These releases speak to a sound that’s not just heard, but deeply felt.
