OTHER SCENES & PROJECTS

LAZY HAMMOCK  a.k.a Lucie Burns / Hermione, has a long history in the music business.  She's been a part of many different scenes, collaborating with many a musician. Read her journey below..

Lucie wrote her first song at 12 and hasn’t stopped since, amassing over 600 songs and lyrics in her catalogue. As a songwriter she writes many genres of music, and has been involved in many different projects over the years, some of which are included below:
 
Filthy Rich and MC Hermione –  Lucie (who used her middle name ‘Hermione’) joined up with Filthy Rich the DJ and they performed as a drum ‘n bass DJ & MC duo. They released a couple of tracks with SOUR Records and Botchit and Scarper, and did some touring around Europe, with their unique set. Lucie spent 2 years perfecting her craft as an MC, although she likes to call it poetic freestylin,’ as it was so different from what the other MC’s did, and still to this day put elements of this syncopated rhythmic flow into her live shows. She was also included in the book 'All Crews' (journeys through jungle /drum & bass culture) by Brian Belle-Fortune.

Asian Dub Foundation recognised her talent and asked her to put some vocals on a couple of tracks for them, she also performed on stage with them on a few occasions. She recorded and performed under her former artist name Hermione.
