 Desert Hearts return with ‘HTL,’ a new single featuring Techno Tupac, out now.

The track puts the collective’s founding mantra — House, Techno, Love — front and center. Fueled by a rolling low-end, hypnotic vocal chants, and sweaty 4AM energy, ‘HTL’ turns that ethos into a proper dancefloor weapon.


‘HTL’ follows their ‘California’ EP, which marked the founders formally stepping forward under one shared artist name. “We’ve always felt strongest as a crew,” Mikey Lion told Billboard. After more than a decade building Desert Hearts as a label, festival, and global community, the unified project brings that same collaborative spirit into their recorded work, channeling the energy of a community that has grown from renegade Mojave Desert gatherings into a worldwide family.

Los Angeles-based DJ, vocalist, and producer Techno Tupac has quickly emerged as a standout force, blending hip-hop swagger with driving tech-house grooves and earning support from artists including Green Velvet, Tchami, Chris Lorenzo, and more. With releases on labels such as Dirtybird, South of Saturn, and Space Yacht, plus performances at Coachella, Electric Forest, and Lightning in a Bottle, Techno Tupac continues to build momentum through high-energy sets and club-tested tracks.
