 crew is taking over Superior Ingredients for a 14-hour, day-into-night marathon, running from 2 PM to 4 AM. Yep, you read that right—we’re dancing all day and into the early hours. Get ready to keep moving until the wheels fall off!

For over a decade, Desert Hearts has been at the heart of the underground house and techno scene. Born in Southern California, this crew—Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Marbs, and Porky—has built a tight-knit community rooted in creativity, acceptance, and shared moments on the dance floor. They’ve thrown unforgettable parties all over the world, from the dusty expanses of Burning Man to intimate ambiance in Tulum, LA, and Brooklyn. Every Desert Hearts event is more than just a party—it’s a space where connection, music, and self-expression thrive.

Their label, Desert Hearts Records, pushes this same energy to a global stage, shining a light on the crew’s sound and showcasing like-minded artists from across the underground. From starting as a renegade gathering of 200 people in 2012 to now hosting one of the most beloved boutique festivals in the US, Desert Hearts has evolved into something bigger—a movement, a family, and a vibe.

Picture this: daytime grooves with the Manhattan skyline as the backdrop, rolling into that deep, late-night feel as the sun goes down. This marathon is set to be a wild ride from start to finish. Don’t miss your chance to party from day into night with the Desert Hearts family. Grab your crew, get your electrolytes up, and let’s make this one to remember!
