The clandestine California desert has long provided a refuge for urban escapees and creative types drawn to its unique convergence of modern and vintage aesthetics, shimmering horizons and vibrant sunrises, and musical tradition new and old. This November, Palm Springs continues this legacy with the return of Desert Air, a journey into the future of electronic music amongst the great expanse of the Mojave.
