Making his mark on the music industry and bringing with him his own unique style, Deeper Purpose is one to watch over the next few years. With praise for his tracks from the likes of Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Detlef, Richy Ahmed and Groove Armada, you’ll no doubt hear the sounds of Deeper Purpose through your speakers very soon. Born in Croydon, London, Deeper Purpose continues to travel for bookings across England, and Europe, bringing with him his sound which is influenced by tech house combined with catchy vocal hooks and memorable sounds. Since he started djing 10 years ago Deeper Purpose has secured residences at Egg (where he’s been a resident for 6 years) and XOYO (where he has played for 5 years). He has also played to crowds at venues including Studio 338, Fabric and festivals such as We Are Festival. More recently, over the past two years Deeper Purpose has been focusing on producing his own tracks. Which have been recognised and praised by some of the biggest names in the industry. This Year already (2019) he has released on Lee Foss’s well established label, Repopulate Mars with his Manipulation Ep. And has also caught the eye of Steve Lawler who has signed an Ep for release later in the year on Viva Music. Last summer (2018) he released his unforgettable summer track ‘Safari’, which was signed to Max Chapman’s label, Resonance Records and also featured on Elrow’s Various Artists Volume 3 Album. Summer 2018 also saw Deeper Purpose secure a 2 track EP released on George Privatti’s label, La Pera Records, which climbed up up the Tech House Chart and received praise from a range of established artists. Deeper Purpose works his musical magic bringing upbeat energy and feel-good vibes to the club with a range of tracks. This includes his own creations which make a standard tech house track unforgettable, by adding underlying grooves with simple but effect percussion, connecting to the crowd with catchy vocals. He’s one to watch this year after a promising start which secured his memorable music interest from music legends Lee Foss and Jamie Jones.Their RA profile lists VIVa MUSiC.Recently at Kings Hall - Avant Gardner, Superior Ingredients, Randall's Island · often with Lee Foss, Oscar N, TheConnect, none of them here that night

“Part mythical desert harlequin, part modern soul conductor, Mikey Lion is more than a DJ––He’s a freak of nature and a controller of energy.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Part mythical desert harlequin, part modern soul conductor, Mikey Lion is more than a DJ––He’s a freak of nature and a controller of energy. The San Diego-native has earned a dusty mystique over the past few years as the center of the Desert Hearts movement and as a house and techno provocateur with a stage presence that suggests he will ride this wave all the way to the top. If there's one thing Mikey does well, it's get the party started. Lion has brought the mothafuckin' ruckus to the stages of Lightning in a Bottle, the dustiest storms at Burning Man, and The Do LaB at Coachella, earning nods from Claude VonStroke, Jamie Jones, and Green Velvet in the process. In doing so, Lion and his signature top hat have developed a boisterous voice in the House & Techno scene with strong tribal, hip-hop, and psychedelic elements. But it all started with Wu-Tang and Daft Punk. Lion first found his way behind the decks as a thirteen year old kid, scratching underground hip-hop records religiously after school. At Coachella as a seventeen year old, he witnessed that legendary Daft Punk performance on the same night he tasted his first dose of psychedelics. The show had such a monumental impact on him, he gave up Hip-Hop and became a House DJ the very next day. After honing his craft with weekly marathon DJ sessions at Sala Razzmatazz in Barcelona, Mikey was introduced to Burner culture at Lightning in a Bottle, 2011. It was at his first Burning Man in 2011 that he found a community calling and merged forces with his brother Porkchop, life long friends Marbs & Deep Jesus, and the inimitable Lee Reynolds to form The Desert Hearts Crew. In November 2012, Desert Hearts began as a seedy, 200-person renegade gathering deep in the Mojave Desert. The intrepid crew barely survived a set of extreme weather conditions and unfortunate circumstances, but that first party sparked a fire. The entire point of that first Desert Hearts was to create as much love as humanly possible, and now that same gathering has evolved into the darling of the West Coast house and techno scene. The Bi-annual festival is capped at 3500 attendees in order to create the best possible vibe. Built upon beautiful people getting as weird as possible to deep and trippy house and techno, Desert Hearts has already achieved iconic status in the North American Festival Scene. Desert Hearts has given rise to a family of thousands and it's safe to call it a bonafide movement of love. And while Desert Hearts Records launched in 2014 as a totally-free record label, pushes the sonic aesthetic of the scene, the crew’s busy international calendar of bookings has the DH message spreading far and wide. At the center of it all is Mikey Lion, the dusty prince of desert hearts, a beacon of weird far and wide, and one of this generation’s most compelling agents of love.Their RA profile lists Desert Hearts Records.Recently at The Chocolate Factory, Knockdown Center · often with Lee Reynolds, Marbs, Porky, none of them here that night

“Bringing his African ethnic roots together with his good Italian taste, Tamango Records boss Yaya is one of the hottest names in the electronic music scene.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Bringing his African ethnic roots together with his good Italian taste, Tamango Records boss Yaya is one of the hottest names in the electronic music scene. Yaya grew up in Turin, where the tunes of his father - percussionist and leading voice of the “M’bamina” ensemble - helped him to discover his inner sense of rhythm, thus starting his relationship with music at an early age and performing as a drummer around the city. Since joining the mighty Desolat family back in 2009, he never stopped moving between the biggest meccas of European electronic music, playing at the best clubs and festivals from all over the world. Besides his unique DJ sets, Yaya is also a prolific producer: after releasing on some of the most respected underground labels, he went on and in 2016 founded his own imprint Tamango Records which has seen names from the likes of Loco Dice, Enzo Siragusa, Cuartero, Rich NxT, Cassy, Toman, and S.A.M. to name a few.Their RA profile lists Get Physical Music, Be As One, Desolat, Nature and 6 more.Recently at Superior Ingredients · often with Matroda, Ammo Avenue, Richy Ahmed, none of them here that night
