Lichiban | Love Takes You Higher Mixed by MeLo-X

Our minty NY Fam Lichiban recently celebrated the 4th anniversary of her [awesome] site that originally served as an art diary but quickly morphed into an outlet for all things inspirational to her. To commemorate her anniversary and launch the mix series, Lichiban asked her good friend, producer/MC/DJ & renaissance man, MeLo-X to make sense of the thirty tracks. The final mix is as MeLo-X calls it “epic space travel cosmic music.” Sounds like our cup of tea.

“The original inspiration for this mix was a drawing entitled ‘Love Takes You Higher’ I did to illustrate my developing kat mythology. The image representing the divine couple of my mystical feline beach resort, KATAPULKO, was modeled after Samantabhadra, known amongst some Tibetan Buddhists as the ‘primordial Buddha’ and his consort and female counterpart, Samantabhadri, the female Buddha. They are united by an unbreakable bond of love through all eternity, and their cosmic lovemaking ensures that the habitants of my feline planet Citraka live in harmonious balance. Vol. 1 represents the male side, soon to be followed by a mix representing the feminine counterpart.” - Lichiban
