Thunderbird Saturday, July 14th

Thunderbird soars again this summer in an intimate warehouse setting in downtown Los Angeles. A few of Southern California's favorite techno producers and DJs will be swooping down on the decks, keeping the dance floor flapping from start to finish. All killer, no filler in this lineup. Evan Casey (Desert Hearts) one of the staple performers at The Desert Hearts Music Festival and original member of their crew, masterfully arranges musical journeys, and harmonizes deep, contrasting moods to create an intricate and balanced sound. Dark, sinister, and deep, Evan Casey has carved out a name for himself by owning the latest hours of your favorite parties. Casually adorned with a devilish grin and always looking fly, the Southern California native is known for his ability to reel in his dance floor and keep it captivated with his unmistakeable sound and driving undertones. But don’t let the all too common “seriousness” of techno fool you, this Desert Hearts ambassador brings a light-hearted atmosphere wherever he goes… and you’ll be quick to notice the dance floor finds the vibe to match. Whether you’re bouncing to heaters in the blazing sun or grinding it out through the darkest of nights, there's no such thing as slowing down when Evan Casey is at the helm. Grab your darkest shade of black and indulge. https://soundcloud.com/desert-hearts-records/live-desert-hearts-evan-casey-068 Britton (Minimal Sessions, Thunderbird), a pro surfer and sound engineer, keeps the creepy creatures alive in his dark, pulsing originals and remixes. When its Techno O'clock, Britton knows how to bring the heavy hammers. He will be gracing us with an all vinyl techno set. Britton is a West Coast tour de force known for his dark minimal driving style of techno. Inspired by SoCal’s underground collectives and full moon gatherings, Britton has developed his own ominous and sinister sound that compliments warehouse and outdoor environments alike. With regular releases on Noise Revolt and Minimal Sessions, Hood Politics, Water Bear and Kitu, Britton has been able to showcase his music in multiple cities throughout the U.S., Germany and the Netherlands. He recently played Desert Hearts Festival one of the top boutique festivals in the US. In 2017 his EP Asylum reached #2 on Beatport’s top Techno releases. https://soundcloud.com/evancaseymusic/lost-dimension-voliv-feat-britton?in=evancaseymusic/sets/lost-dimension-series Nachtegaal (Thunderbird) & Vicious Eve (Athena Collective, Thunderbird), a cool and very stylish techno couple, occasionally playing together under the name Veil, have a refined taste for the dark, crushing underground sounds you will savor in their deep, driving sets. Eclectic, edgy, and (and typically dark) Vicious Eve's techno selections never cease to please even the seasoned techno-head. Brie Timmons, the woman behind the Vicious Eve moniker, harnesses the power of the divine feminine to bring you a truly remarkable balance of hard and soft, dark and light. https://soundcloud.com/nachtegaaldj/nachtegaal-mix-two-nightingale https://soundcloud.com/viciouseve/sensory-illumination Funktion-One sound, full bar, and an outdoor courtyard complete the offerings of our nest for this event. 21+
