All remix albums for sale on lushwav.com can be found, accessed, and downloaded for free elsewhere on the site. A link to this access is included on each album’s product page. With this in mind, any purchase made is simply a formality in support of my creative passion and a customer’s way of saying that they appreciate a certain direction my art is taking.

My musical passion has never been about curating a customer product, but spreading joy through combining the different worlds I love. I do not support copyright infringement. My belief is that the current legal framework exists not to protect artists but to maintain power structures and reduce growth for artists without institutional backing, such as myself: Publishing sampled music and remixes should be permitted through licensing in the same manner as cover songs. In an age where individuals are able to monetize AI generated music that plagiarizes artists & commits unidentifiable copyright infringement, I cannot be held liable for monetizing sampled remixes that both credit and pay respect to the artists that made the original audio used.
