LKMUP is the fictional AI-assisted artist alter ego of Michael Sebastian—veteran percussionist, producer, DJ, and certified mischief-maker. The moniker riffs on “Lick ’Em Up,” a middle finger to censorship and moral gatekeeping. Soul + code = sonic civil disobedience.

Mid life dealings going on .. Grew up a rocker in the 80s mellowed out as a ski bum in Breckenridge Colorado for awhile got into chill tropical dance funky stuff.
Then discovered Stick Figure sunshine reggae  changed my world. Now learning to remix and the big universe of Electric Music by diving into various rabbit holes.

Lotus has crafted a unique musical style outside of simple genre limitations. On a given weekend the band could be the only group with guitars at an all electronic music festival and then the next night crash a traditional rock festival with their dance heavy beats, synths and samples. Equal parts instrumental post-rock and electronic dance, the band's distinguishing feature is the ability to maintain a decidedly unique musical voice and remain current while bucking passing trends.

No matter what the venue, the energetic joy and catharsis of a Lotus show is infectious. The band slowly built a devoted fan base through steady touring and the crowds have grown at an increasing pace. This grassroots growth has made the band in high demand for festivals including Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Ultra, and Rothbury and earned the band sold out shows at the country's premier theatres and clubs.
