Lucy (née Luca Mortellaro) is one of the pre-eminent sonic adventurers of his time. Not bound to conventional pre-conceptions of what an electronic musician, producer, or DJ must be, Lucy has evolved his distinct sound signature by reconciling the deeply personal with the esoteric, and by harmonizing the spheres of technology and biology. In doing so, he has become rare as an artist, in his ability to please an audience while also introducing them to elements they were not yet familiar with and thereby pushing them out of their comfort zone. After founding the Stroboscopic Artefacts record label back in 2009, he has also provided a consistently intriguing forum for other artists who share this unique aesthetic sensibility and high level of quality control (some of the notable contributors to the label include Luke Slater, Speedy J, James Ruskin, Donato Dozzy, Ben Klock, Perc, Kangding Ray and Rrose). As a solo artist, Lucy’s discography is distinguished by his trilogy of highly immersive LPs (Wordplay for Working Bees, Churches, Schools and Guns, and the newly released Self Mythology). No less important, though, are Lucy’s numerous EP-length releases, remixes, and collaborations. For example, his production duo Zeitgeber (with Speedy J) has already become a powerful hypnotic entity in and of itself, while other partnerships with Ben Klock or Silent Servant have proven that he is capable of making collaborative records that are more than the sum of their parts.
