#36 Feat. Banner in Tech House

Whats up Desert Hearts Family, I cant believe its been 10 years since I started Desert Hearts Records. In 2014, I took a leap of faith and started the label, a dream Id carried since I was a kid. Back then, no one wanted to sign my music. The sting of rejection ultimately caused the spark of determination—if no one else believed in my music, at least I would. Little did I know that decision would change my life in ways I could have never imagined. Desert Hearts had already begun to blossom as a movement in 2014—our community celebrating house, techno, and love—and the label felt like a natural extension of that spirit. It wasnt just about my music anymore; it was a chance to shine a light on the incredible artists in our family and bring together creators from around the world who shared our vision for something deeper than just the dance floor. Looking back, I could never have imagined how much this label would come to mean to me. Its been more than a platform; its been a bridge to some of the most extraordinary people Ive ever known. Its taught me about love, resilience, and the power of music that connects us in ways words never can. This 10th-anniversary compilation is more than just a celebration of the music. Its a celebration of every moment, every artist, and every heart that has made Desert Hearts what it is today. Its a tribute to the community thats grown with us, danced with us, and believed in this dream alongside me. Thank you for being a part of this journey. Heres to a decade of House, Techno, and Love—and the magic thats still to come. Love Always, Mikey Lion
