[Track Review] Basketball-Minded Subzylla Debuts with "Oracle"

By Austin T. Murphy

Subzylla debuts with "Oracle"
 
In 2015, L.A.-based producer Devin Lopez, aka Subzylla, released his debut track “Oracle.” Named for the arena in which his beloved Golden State Warriors play basketball, his instrumental piece makes excellent use of sparse and subtle elements, not to mention the ever-present driving beat that makes it a staple of my workout mix. 

The track’s title is appropriate as new musicians often need guidance and direction to find their niche in a growing and evolving industry. What’s more, newcomers usually have to overcome obstacles to realize their ultimate goal of having their music heard -- like gladiators.

And so, in this track Subzylla is the warrior -- and he derives inspiration from his championship-winning basketball team.
