Mikey Lion The producer's recently released debut LP 'For The Love' is the 100th release on Desert Hearts Records. It's unclear where Mikey Lion would be today if he hadn't taken DMT in his dad's backyard nine years ago. He was, he now estimates, roughly one minute into his trip when the trees -- which had previously only represented yard work -- started talking to him. "Every single branch on every tree and every plant, everything was looking down on me going 'Yes! Yes! Yes!' with these huge s--t-eating grins," he recalls. Lion then realized that the 40-foot palm trees were not just talking, but talking about him. "I’m freaking out at this point," he says, "because I’m on their level, and I can understand what they’re saying about me, and they’re saying, 'How amazing is this that he finally understands that we’re just as alive as he is?'”
