This week's episode of What's That Sound sees Noam and Jessica take on the pioneering psychedelic percussion of the title track from Axis: Bold as Love by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The album was recorded during the Summer of Love in 1967 at Olympic Studios in London, where Jimi spent most if not all of his brief but impactful recording career. Behind the boards was Eddie Kramer and behind the kit—of course—was the legendary Mitch Mitchell.

In this week's episode of What's That Sound, Noam and Jessica explore how to best recreate the sound of disco drums, channeling multiple classic recordings by the likes of Donna Summer, The Bee Gees, and Chic—that means airtight, dry and controlled sounds with lots of separation between each element of the kit. #production #recording #drums #disco 70s Disco, The Sonic, Bee Gees, Demolition, Good News, 1970s, Element

The history of some of the most impactful music innovations in general have their roots in creative misuses, malfunctioning equipment, and happy accidents. A broken mixing board eventually spawned the fuzz pedal; "misusing" turntables begets DJing and early hip-hop; the result of overdriven, inefficient speakers in early tube amps becomes a must-have feature in modern gear—the list goes on. We're going to dig into just a few examples of when using gear the "wrong" way led to the right result.

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Malina Moye is a proud left-handed, upside-down player. That is, she flips a right-handed guitar and plays it without changing the position of the strings. While she has a sound all her own, Moye is part of a tradition of upside-down guitarists, dating back to folk blues and continuing through the present day. In our video, she talks through six other upside-down greats. Surf Guitar, Guitar Porn, Otis Rush, Allen Toussaint, Willie Dixon, Leon Russell, Albert King
