LuckyMe is a United Kingdom–based record label and design studio specialising in the release of new electronic, hip hop, pop, rock and underground dance music.
[14] In June 2010, Sónar festival in Barcelona invited LuckyMe to curate three hours on stage at Sonar By Night, in which Hudson Mohawke, Eclair Fifi, Lunice, Machinedrum, The Blessings and AmericanMen performed live, hosted by Olivier Daysoul with visuals by Dominic Flannigan.
[18] LuckyMe released records by Jacques Greene, Lunice and Machinedrum and performed at an RBMA Culture Clash in Toronto, Ontario.
Rinse FM invited LuckyMe to start a bi-weekly show, which featured The Blessings, Eclair Fifi, Obey City and Joseph Marinetti.
[46][47] S-Type scored an exclusive soundtrack for Astrid Andersen's New York Fashion Week '15 catwalk show and released an EP of collaborations entitled SV8.
[55] Music video directors and animators who contributed to the album include Hiro Murai,[56] Thomas Rhazi,[57] Jesse Kanda,[58] Nic Hamilton[59] and frequent collaborator Jonathan Zawada.
[67] Also in 2016, LuckyMe released Jacques Greene 12" Afterglow / You Can't Deny,[68] and a re-issue of a classic Chicago House / Freestyle record "Never Let Go" by Mickey Oliver & Shanna Jae.
The original artwork for the release by Mathieu Fortin and Hassan Rahim was appropriated for a range of brands including Dior Homme, JD Sports, Infinite Archives & Nick Jonas.
[73] Jacques Greene launched the album via performances at Sonar Festival in Barcelona, a curated line up at Electric Brixton in London, including Lone, Pional, Eclair Fifi and Yves Tumor,[74] and in his home town of Montreal, Greene took over the derelict public bathhouse, Bain Mathieu, with a unique AV show created by artists Adam Humell and Melissa Matos.
[75] In 2018 LuckyMe released a triptych of Baauer singles which saw the producer collaborate with AJ Tracey, Jae Stephens,[76] Soleima[77] and cyber it-girl Miquela Sousa.
[77] On 1 April LuckyMe released the debut studio album by Montreal-based singer and songwriter Stephan Armstrong aka Littlebabyangel.
In a new precedent for the site, Pitchfork reviewed the mixtape while still a private link, and called GADA "...a daring, eclectic mix of experimental R&B...", stating "...he won't stay a secret for long.
[90] The album art saw a collaboration between friends Ezra Miller & Mickey Joyce who together with Prudhomme produced impressionistic generative collages from locations around Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
[93] The music on the ep first premiered in a short run cassette release exclusive to bandcamp and was accompanied by a long form art film parody which showed Greene browsing the Internet for the duration of the tape: his face subtly reflected in the screen while moving between browser windows.
[94] The mixtape was reviewed by Pitchfork who said "It's a delight to know that Aubin-Dionne's next phase won't sacrifice his knack for melodrama, but even more exciting to glimpse the new depths ahead.
As a studio, LuckyMe has undertaken design work in the fashion and music industries, completing print, film, public events, websites, and sculptural projects.
[4] LuckyMe launched an augmented reality project for Becks in several sites including Shoreditch in East London, where viewers could listen to LuckyMe's artists' music by walking round a green box, 2.5-metre 3D eyeballs appeared to float in the street, changing as the viewer moved, each eyeball visually represented different artists music.
[101][102] LuckyMe worked alongside Mathew Williams, Virgil Abloh, Es Devlin and Kanye West on the creative-direction and marketing of the album Yeezus.
[109] LuckyMe in-house director Peter Marsden was praised across several press platforms for his work on videos for Rustie ft. Danny Brown Attak, Cashmere Cat Wedding Bells and Lunice Can't Wait To.
[124][125] LuckyMe Studio also aided the release of Gorillaz Humanz album, with art direction, animation, layout and graphic design in assistance to illustrator Jamie Hewlett.
[126] The studio also created a multi-media sculptural installation for Jacques Greene entitled Real Time: which saw a looping, dub plate vinyl record slowly erode over live stream over a course of weeks running into the Feel Infinite album release.
