Desert Mountain Tribe (or DMT? Coincidence? We think not!) is a groovy psychedelic rock band from London. Big guitars, groovy drums, and heavy bass support the epic vocals, all up to their eyeballs in reverb. The band dropped by Serious Business Music in DUMBO, Brooklyn on their recent SXSW-anchored tour of the U.S. to get trippy for this session.

Desert Mountain Tribe’s EP, If you don't know Can you don't know Köln, is available now.

Over the past decade or so, the Los Angeles-based Blake Hazard has gone from playing on the streets of New York City to the successful duo The Submarines and now on to her current solo project. Blake’s songs work beautifully in the context of a minimalist setup with just voice and guitar, but also lend themselves to huge pop production, which you can hear some of in the series of remixes being release this year. Here, she stopped by Serious Business Music in DUMBO solo for this intimate session!

The Styrofoam remix of “Hey” is out now, with more singles and remixes coming throughout 2017.
