Killer Moon



In early November, we were up in Brooklyn for a night at Kinfolk 90. We had the best time DJing and dancing all night with so many good friends. After a few hours of sleep and some inspirational public-access cooking tips, we stopped by The Lot Radio for a session. We went all in on this one, focusing on some oddball favorites from across the spectrum, so hopefully you enjoy the listen.

Thanks to Kinfolk and The Lot for having us!

X,
Universal Cave

Michael The Lion & Jay Airiness Split 12"


New 12" of edits out now on Diggin Deeper France! Many thanks to my good friend Jay Airiness for putting this out and for tossing two of his edit gems on the B-side as well. Happy to be splitting an EP with him after all these years.

This record is pressed in limited quantities, so get it while it's hot!  It's arriving at more retailers each day, so I'll try to keep this updated.  For now it's not being sold at US outlets - Juno has the cheapest Trans-Atlantic shipping.

Naw Naw Naw




Do you like volcanos? cartoons? pixel art? how about serpent babes??? If so, you should watch Peter Dragontail's new video. He animated it himself and it is awesome.

Michael The Lion featuring Amy Douglas - Get It On


"Positivity, tolerance and love are in short supply right now. When Amy sang this song, she was going through a really tough time. The creation of this song was a therapeutic process. It has served that purpose several times. The first time we performed it live, during a Pride-related event, unbeknownst to us, the Orlando nightclub massacre was taking place across the country. The next day I thought about that moment and listened back to the song and wondered where to find hope.

This song was supposed to come out several months from now but Eli [from Soul Clap] contacted me on Wednesday morning and we agreed, we need to share our therapy with you sooner, rather than later. In Amy's words, "for all of the songs that have come before, begging and pleading with our humanity to be better to each other, it would seem it's not enough, so we wrote one more."

- Michael The Lion
