070 - Marbs, Desert Hearts co-founder

Author: Grahame Farmer June 8, 2020 Duration: 37:53

Marbs, Desert Hearts co-founder.

Marbs has reached a new peak in his career over the past year, which culminated in him launching Desert Hearts subsidiary, Desert Hearts Black, with Evan Casey. The heavier, melodic-leaning imprint and club series launch was a smash success, with its debut EP Torus reaching Beatport's Overall #1 spot and its inaugural warehouse party selling out. Tim Engelhardt, Thugfucker, and Dance Spirit are just a few of its first signees.

On top of stepping into label boss shoes, Marbs and the Desert Hearts Crew expanded their brand across the globe, touching down in Europe for a summer tour run, and celebrating the New Year with their Australian debut.

We chatted about Desert Hearts, how it started, his journey through music and what the crew are doing on lockdown.

Grahame Farmer hosts Music Talk, a podcast that feels more like a series of candid conversations backstage than a formal interview show. Now in its third season, the focus remains on the practical realities of building a life in music, whether you're behind the decks or in the studio. Each episode is loaded with actionable advice and hard-won insights, but it’s the genuine motivation woven throughout that regular listeners appreciate. You’ll hear from a wide range of voices, from touring artists and label owners to promoters and even lawyers, all discussing the topics that actually matter. Past discussions have dug into navigating platforms like Spotify, the intricacies of getting music signed, and sustaining creative drive. Grahame’s approach is to bring out the inner perspective of his guests, moving beyond surface-level success stories to uncover the real strategies and personal challenges. This isn't just about inspiration; it's a resource built on shared experience. For DJs, producers, and anyone curious about the inner workings of the industry, this podcast offers a direct line to the people shaping the sound.
