Fact Mix 808: LCY Fact Mix 808: LCY A moody, melancholic selection programmed by a robot pirate station from the mind of the SZNS7N boss. Four years ago, Bristol native LCY self-released Mixtape 01, a project that established the producer (then known as LUCY) as a promising club talent operating in the fertile space between dubstep, grime and jungle.

Widely regarded as the first definitive thrash album, Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All, though forceful, declarative and crushing, was a punishing exercise in music business protocol. While it upped the ante on the precision, rage and songwriting of bands like Venom and Diamond Head, it was a record that, from the start, was ruled by compromise and control.

As is often the case with these things, the extent to which all of this comes across during the EP’s six tracks depends on how invested the listener is in the concept. In this particular instance, it matters litt...

The bass doesn’t get the attention of its flashier, six-string cousin. Yet, talk to musicians and they’ll tell you that the bass is at least as important as the guitar — or, really, any instrument — since it sets the groove as it marries the rhythmic and melodic elements of a song. Californias Bay Area certainly has had more than its fair share of great bassists over the years, ones who could not only be counted on to hold a tune together but also found ways to repeatedly st...

Top 10 Iconic Guitar Solos Since the early days of blues and jazz, guitar solos have been used to showcase the talents of musicians and to add an extra dynamic to the music.
