No no no no no you gotta be kidding me. Isaac Hayes R.I.P. What is going on?
Please read our news feed from the 02.06.08 to see a list of some of the legends we are missing. Terrible news.

Just got back from London playing Fabric for the first time. edIT was extremely dope as expected. We got really unprofessional with the Mount Gay bottles we were given so sorry if you saw us on some Ol' Rowdy Bassline tip. I get the vibe we had the demeanour of a football gang. We just got really amped on the high frequency of ridiculous girls and, I mean, we were drunk. Rustie nearly lost all our bags and... I don't need to go on. All I'm saying is our job is a great job. Shouts to big homeys Patchwork Pirates, Lone and of course edIT from the almighty Glitch Mob. Extra peace goes to our poor driver at the end of the night who sang along with us. Thank you whoever you are, wherever you are.
-
To all the people who mailed us about the mixtapes - thank you. The permissions error is now sorted.
-
Can I also add that we have remastered and tagged all our tapes with organised labels and artwork for your itunes. We recommend that you delete any former versions you have cause the new way in which we have labelled them means you wont miss any in the collection and the girls look excellent in shuffle mode ( hetro-pause ). We currently sit on 13.7hours of free LuckyMe blessed content on the mixes section. Be our guest...

It's been great this month gettin back in the swing of normal life. We've had edIT play our own Ballers 5ocial night in Glasgow which was a sweat storm. The best Ballers yet. It was our brother Ternece Teh's ( aka Chris-aka-Busi ) birthday so all the Patchwork Pirates came and joined in. As we write this we are on our way to play London's Fabric for the first time along with big homey Ed' from Glitch Mob. Great to meet him at last. We been playing his record so much.
-
DAMMIT. TAPES DONT WORK AND ALL IVE GOT IS THIS TRAIN WIFI WHICH IS BULLSHIT. GIMME A COUPLE DAYS TO DO THIS GIG AND EVERYTHING WILL BE BACK WORKING FINE.

Oh Shit. And we are so sorry on behalf of Dom Sum, Hud Mo & Mike Slott who were due to tour the States as Heralds of Change last month, but had to cancel a week before leaving because of Mohawke's commitments to Warp. They were unforseen and we are very sorry. We will be rescheduling all these dates again for October, and we will be packing a Rustie for good measure, Blaow! See us at Low End Theory in LA / NY, ARTDON'TSLEEP, Turbocrunk and a handfull of other shows. I gotta say we are honoured to be in appearance at these most excellent parties. Shouts to cross Atlantic family like Daddy Kev, Mac, Dru, Henri, Speakerbruiser and Griffin.

This months mixtape is by a group called 7VWWVW ( pronounced MAMMAL ) who we've been big fans of for a while and it's a real honour to have them do something specfically for us. If you don't know already they are an analogue synth-based band who have been churning up Edinburgh for many years. There eponymously titled LP is available now from KFM / Crystal Wish on CD / LP respectively. For what it's worth, we recommend you check out Crystal Wish Records. It is 7VWWVW's own independent label and plays host to an excellent hip hop group called Kyon & Dyems who used to regularly play our Glasgow Open Mic nights when FineArt & Mo were playing a lot of Camp Lo Records. We go wayyy back. Anyway y'all. I hope you like our new freebie.

Edinburgh festival starts soon. So girls from foreign countries in little clothes kicking around Oddities and drinking in our fine city's corniest Beer Gardens. LuckyMe has this Glasgow rep but this is the best time to be in Edinburgh. It's only an hour away by road. If you happen to be in town we recommend you visit Oddities Streetwear on 16 Victoria Street and come to our free LuckyMe:Drums party on Thursday the 14th. It's on until 5am upstairs at the Bongo Club. Shit will take your ears and kiss them, then punch them, then kiss them some more.

Ciorsdan Brown aka Nadsroic leaves tomorrow to Japan for one year. That'll be crazy for us all cause she pretty much cooks and cleans for us, on both the literal and metaphysical tips. Glasgow is about to get slightly less colourful, reducing us to do something we swore we wouldn't do... emoticons :(
Nadsroic EP is finally finished though and we just put a quarter in the side of the big factory that makes our yield of vinyl. Out in September for the kids who care.

We just heard discussed this article in Connection this month slating 'Hipster Rap'. It's funny that people hate on groups like Cool Kids so much. Do you not think the route word of the 'hip' in 'hip hop' has anything to do with the term 'hipster'? Hip hop was fashion conscious from its conception and the notion of style is in every part of hip hop. Even if your style, like most artists in rap, is just plain bad taste.

This is Dom Sum writing this. I cancelled the myspace account for Surface Empire today which was my old hip hop group with Hudson Mo. Together with a bunch of friends we started the crew you see on this website and the shit I've seen and done because of Surface Empire is a large part of what underpins my life today. I love hip hop music but the association of that old name in our home in Scotland is tied to past flyers and shows. I want to just go away from Surface now and brew over all the shit I'd like to do musically. I make beats with FineArt in our production group 'The Blessings' and I'll still be writing and recording with Mo. Plus I got a lot to do here with the label. I'll leave the Surf Emp section up on thisisluckyme.com to give it its due props.
But, youknow, If anything I killed it because we all come up with such amazing names all the time it seems a waste to not use them. Here's some of my favourites from FineArt, which he pretty much texts me on a day to day basis. Give him props but don't rip him off :
Ghandi Floss
Neon Warwick

We celebrate a year of opereation as a website this month by kicking a release out of Hudson Mohawke and Nadsroic - and then kicking Nadsroic to Japan for a year. On the real, we dedicated the look of the site to Ciorsdan Brown this month cause we're gonna miss her like crazy. Have an amazing time Kido.
In case you don't know already Ciorsdan Brown AKA Nadsroic is just finishing her ep for us, which we will promptly be putting out on LuckyMe for the back of Summer. It's 100% produced by Hudson Mohawke.

Ayo. Sonar was an acid trip. It went like this.
Thursday 19th: we got flown to Barcelona by the all incredible Patchwork Pirates and Plat Du Jour with a little help from the guys at Dazed and Confused. The line up was Dom Sum as host with Rustie, Hudson Mohawke and Jackmaster playing furious bangers. Nadsroic, FineArt and Joe Kalamo were along for the ride. We played alongside Drums of Death, Yo! Majesty and Rusko. And the whole thing was, if you excuse the expression, like a vaginal orgasm. Everyone trumped each other with a smile on their face. It was so ridiculously banging. The VIP was ugly in a way that we have never seen before. There was a bunch of friends from Glasgow there and we were throwing donuts out to the crowd. It really was cool.
Also worth the mention is the Karborn exhibition at Hu La La where The Blessings played a little dj set for free Sambuca.
Friday 20th: A day off in the sun. Or at least it was meant to be. But then Mo got asked to fill a hole in the Sonar by Night festival made by the late cancellation of Erol Alkan. So we found ourselves playing to the entire outdoor stage from 5am-7am. Hudson Mohawke, Rustie & Flying Lotus killed it. And the rest of us sat on the stage tripping on the weirdness of it all.
Saturday 21st: A day off in the sun. Or at least it was gonna be. But then Hud Mo got asked to play the afternoon Red Bull Lounge organised this year by our main bureder, Mweslee. That night we all went to Sonar by Night to look at Jeff Mills and Mad Mike's X-102 project. Shit was off the hook.
Sunday 22nd: We wrote off the day by a pretty full-on Saturday night. But our tans were looking pretty sweet ( except for Ciosrdan - psyche! ) for all our Barcelonita beach time. We played some serious frisbee. That night we got picked up and taken to a dope club 14km out of Barcelona that was tiki tiki themed with factor 1 and scene setting lighting. The line up for this, the closing party of Sonar was pretty ridiculous:
Room 1
Radio Slave (Rekids / UK)
Ewan Pearson (Misericord / UK)
Radiactive Man (Control Tower / UK)
Efdemin (Dial / GER
Angel Molina (SonarMusic / E)
Nacho Marco (Loudeast / E)
Room 2
Buraka Som Sistema DJs (Enchufada / PT)
DJ 2D2 + Griffi (Del Palo / E)
Spacek Sound System (!k7 / UK)
Onra (Label Rouge / FR)
Take (Inner Current / US)
Hudson Mohawke (Warp / UK)
... but Anti Pop were in the building as well. We're fans but it's hard looking at Beans in the flesh since seeing his porno a few months back. That and the fact Dom's ex girlfriend gave him a pedicure when he last played Glasgow. This was actually the best night in the festival for music, probably owed in large to big homeys Jay Scarlett, DJ 2D2 and Morgan Spacek.
So. Thank you so much to those who got us out there and showed us such a good time. Lord willin' we will be back next year holding even more of a presence on the ears of Barcelona.
I tell you what though. On getting back from Sonar, ears were definitely fucked. It's taken a week of pure celtic harp music to get back on track.

Tonight we moved Hudson Mo into a brand new flat above a German bakery. The flat has both working lights and seating for more than two so it's a huge + for all of us. The Healthfarm 5 was born tonight. Many incredible noises and times will no doubt be had in this feng shui compatible paradise. Yo, shit is sweet son. Enjoy the view.

Bo Diddley rip.
Mannnn, ever since Cash died we've taken a lot of blows to our heroes. Marlin Brando, James Brown, Joe Zawinul, Heath Ledger, Art Davis, Yves Saint Laurent, Max Roach, Hilly Kristal, James Yancey, Marcel Marceau, Alice Coltrane, Kurt Vonnegut, Ingmar Bergman, Andrew Hill, Pimp C, Oscar Peterson & Arthur C Clark. I'm glad every day that Owen Wilson didn't do what he wanted to. I don't know, maybe we're just at that age now that we understand the gravity of these artist contribution to a life we lead.

Return of the Mac: Well, if anyone meets Steve Jobs today smack him dead in the mouth. Our server has been glitch-hopping all over since our last update but we've now got the mac back and we wanted to announce all the new cool shit we been up to:
First up, thank you so much to anyone who has made the Ooops! record a success. We are expecting represses ( unstickered sleeves this time to show who got the hot batch ) to reach stores again soon. But if you can't find it, you can get the digitals on bleep.com
This last weekend had us play, party and eat bbq with the Patchwork Pirates, Cinnaman, Inga, Harmonic 313 aka Mark Pritchard and Giovanni Marks aka Subtitle from LA. Thank you for blessing our fair town all of you. The rare smell of molten
Glasgow tarmac and your good company makes us not want to leave our hick town. It started to feel like good people would come to us.
Although our second samurai.fm show got wiped on our broken computer ( we will more than make up for the lost show next time ) you can get fresh mixes in our mixes section and hear lots of new exclusive music from LuckyMe on The Blessings podcast for XLR8R magazine this month. Go get it.
Sorry to anyone in Oslo who came out to see Rustie on the 16th May, cause dude was on the very minute of the check-in deadline and they wouldn't let him board the plane. It really was not his fault and it was not a 'cancellation'. It was another case of Michael O'Leary, chief of Ryanair, messing up our hustle. He's hating bad.
It's been a long time coming but we have added a designated section for the visual artists collective who help make our scene bloom. so whattup to Colin Faulkes, Christina Kernohan, Ivor Williams, Pete Marsden, Innes Maran and Konx-Om-Pax. along with Dom Sum of course. They are making us look dope.
Finally, we wanted to say whattup and welcome to our new crew members: American Men, Eclair Fifi and Iaaze who officially join the ranks of LuckyMe this month. We're really glad to have you involved.
Oh, and word up to D_Gubbins for his beautiful article about us in Shook issue 2.

March is gonna be rad. Here's why:
Hud Mo says Ooops! finally gets released on March 17th on 12" vinyl and digital down load from all the best stores you know.
The new Rustie ep 'Cafe De Phresh' gets released on Stuff Records this month.
We are teaming up with Numbers to run these two launch parties, called 'Cafe De Oops!' at Gramaphone in London on Saturday the 22nd March, and at the Twisted Wheel on Friday 28th in Glasgow. Hud Mo, Rustie and a lot of the crew are going to come down and take on London for that.
Ballers 5ocial is going to be banging this month, with Kelpe and Debruit playing live alongside Dom Sum, FineArt, Hud Mo and Jay Prada.
Mike Slott is recording new music in Washington DC with a crop of new collaborations.
Bloc Festival is on the 14th in Norflok, with Rustie live alongside our Wireblock peoples.
LuckyMe are taking over an hour of live music as the support for muther fuckin Method Man at the Carling Academy in Glasgow on the 29th. Surface Emp live for the first time in ages.
Our Samurai.fm show is online and underway, whilst our free mixtape section ( above ) is going to be blessed with a special guest selection of the best later day rock by stu of our favourite, yet-to-play-a-single-live-show band, the American Men.
Our friends Kyon & Dyems have an LP out on Edinburgh's Crystal Wish records. Back when LuckyMe was just an open mic rap night, these two would come and play for some beer. Surface Emp played a lot of shows alongisde these two, and this new shit, executively produced by 7VWWVW is making us really jealous.
The Oddities / Circultaions collaborative tee is now instock in BEAMS T japan. designed by Dom Sum its a Scottish map in hand illustrated giraffe print texture on fresh white cotton. looking good. Thanks to Dai Kurahara at Circulations.
Also, we've updated the website to give a little more content. There's a new Ballers 5ocial Blog section to see what Joe Kalamo is whining on about and who he has booked to play at our art school party. There's a press section to show the world how glossy we are. An art direction jawn in case you want to see the design work which comes out of our stable.
So, that's why its gonna be a good month. thanks for reading an everything.

Yo! Whattup to Volume!, the carps, the cool kids and rich at 247hh. this sunday night show seemed kinda cursed after benga the night before being so damn good. but with all the best intent and eneregy in the world the carps bumped in the face of adversity, profisee held it all together, hud mo brought 'em to the front and then the kids 'finished' the crowd off. cheers to you.

Good luck to Jay Prada and Nuala who shoot out to New York for an artist in residency program today.They will be out in NY for the next month so hopefully you will see him and Mike Slott drinking chai lattes with dd-battery powered mpcs in a park near you soon. If you live out there.

Happy Valentines to you and your boo. This months mix is by our home-girl Eclair Fifi who is like, the best dj in Scotland. Yup, i said it. We will upload it later tonight between course 7 and 8 of your romantic dinner.

Oddities, including Sum, just returned from flaunting the Oddities label at tbc at the truman brewery in London over the last few days. It was fine. We met some good people like Ryan at Ryouki in Oxford and Will Kemp from Second Son / Slam x Hype. Jonas at Social Fabric and Simone at Arision and of course, Matt at Samurai.fm our show goes up in two weeks as they've had some server issues. Sorry to keep hyping it, but we're excited.
-
It's been Hudson Mohawke's birthday. Congrats Homey. May we deep-fry a malaysian pancake soon star! Go see him live in Austria and Munich over the next few days with the overlord, Jay Scarlett. If he makes the flight. Oft.
-
Oh, and we played The Cool Kids / Carps, Clark and Vex'd shows to much success. Word to them and the guys from shook magazine who took one for the party and travelled all that way from london to cover it. Ballers 5ocial Club for ever & ever & ever!
-
04.02.08
Harmonic 313 played a session for radio one the other day. It was cool that a quarter of the songs he used were by LuckyMe. namely Rustie and Hud Mo under the Heralds of Change and Magic Mojig monickers. Apparently Mary Anne Hobbes played a song off Rustie's new jawn, Cafe De Phresh too. So, thanks again to Mark Pritchard and whoever at radio one is peddlin' with us.

Dom Sum just got back from showing Scottish streetwear brand Oddities and this here musical posse LuckyMe at the Bread and Butter fashion trade show in Barcelona. let us talk you through the parties.
Wednesday night - Tom Trago and Mr Wicks play the Untitled show at Mondo. We are bias to everything the Parra sound system play but this was the best music of the festival. Crooks and Castles kids two stepping to techno?! I mean, if that isn't the greatest snapshot of 2008 yet i dont know what is.Ttom, thanks man. Very fun huh?
Thursday night - Patta x 24 Kilates x Addict party and Vice magazine party in the old Apollo. In a sea of vampiric rockabilly French girls we got so messy on free jack and ginger that the taxi driver took us to the actual hosptal instead of our 'hostel on l'hopital'. Eughh.
Friday night - closing party was boog, with cues we don't do. So we switched lanes, off to trustnobody's party at Jamboree. Both streetwear elitist and satisfyingly trashy - we got our (empty) bag stolen cause cause we were wearing stunna shades in a dark cave.
To all that picked up the LuckyMe promo out there, you can get a tracklisting by emailing us. Thanks for all your kind words so far.
Shouts to Henrik the Bear, Hessa and all the good people at Lodown, Andrew and Matt at Vice, Seb at Nike SB and Ryan at Ryouki. Here's to good people found deep amongst this g-star ego festival.

16.01.08
Tune into the LuckyMe showcase on BBC Radio One tonight, or listen again for the next week. A live show of Mike Slott, Rustie, FineArt, Hudson Mohawke and Nadsroic. A veritable foie gras of Lucky music.

28.12.07
Okay, it feels really good to finally go official with this. HUDSON MOHAWKE IS NOW SIGNED TO WARP RECORDS. We of course had this on the cards for a minute, what with Steve Beckett announcing it in his Warp RBMA07 video, but to finally say it out loud feels pretty good. So let me try again. HUDSON MOHAWKE IS NOW SIGNED TO WARP RECORDS. Homey is 21 years young and honestly never believed this would happen to him. With 2007 thoroughly raising the bar on all of LuckyMe, we are kinda excited to see what our next steps are. 2008 is ours.

20.12.07
Heralds of Change and Dom Sum at le Retour du Boogie, Besancon. Wow. In the dying light of the year, this show pretty much clinched it as our highlight. All the retour' kids and Electrons Libres' are like-minds and got really stupid with us. The gig was sell-out. 400+ people getting dumb and eating complimentary thai in a medieval stable in an alpine frozen wood.
The day after the show we found ourselves, without breakfast, at the top of the valley in an ancient citadel that looks down upon miles of old town and snow. Within the walls of the castle was a crazy little zoo, Abandoned of its crowd for the Winter. so here we are, rappers and producers, miles from home, in a snow covered castle standing on the other side of a glass sheet from a mature tiger licking its lips. Mind blowing. Really. Then we descended on the town where santa-clauses were handing out sweets. We bought some french '84 bill laswell 45's and drank mulled wine.
That night we played for the good people of Pum thai restuarant / bar. We all got a little fucked up together. Bestown, we are very grateful for your unique hospitality. We hope to be able to hang out with y'all again soon.
-
08.12.07
Mo and Dom Sum played Zaragosa in Spain on the final day of the saints festival. What a beautiful place. There was this barmaid called pillar who looked sorta like penelope cruz in blow. My gawd. Mo will be back for you. Thank you eternally, to Chelis and the robot people. We got kinda messed up and y'all looked after us well. Much love.
-
26.11.07
Some ones on some glen close with Mo at the moment. His play counter has scored in excess of 1000 plays for the last few days. We don't know if someone might be linking through to it or if someone is trying to work out what the fuck the arpeggiator is doing at the end of 'spotted'. Either way, thats cool with us. you haven't heard nothing yet.
-
25.11.07
On Saturday night we played a heaving little crowd at VOLUME! in the basement of Ego in Edinburgh. Rustie X Jay Party X Fineart X Hudson Mohawke X Dom Sum X Profisee X Termite. We all got pretty messed up, which isn't cool, but we danced like idiots and at like, 2.45am there wasn't an unhappy face in the venue. Cept the bouncers. Thank you so much to the team at VOLUME! cause you fully supported this Lucky-thing since day dot. 'The edinburgh hate' was definitely not in the building that day. We'll get some photos up soon, cause we want y'all to see the one of Joe Kalamo sleeping. Eughhh.
-
24.11.07
Hudson Mohawke got loose with Jackson ( that jacket, that hair! ) and Flying ( laddddiees! ) Lotus at the hands of Numbers. Once again, thank you to them. a hella show. Fly Lo' threatened to drag Mo back to LA with him. Look, Homey, working on that. See you Summer time 08.
-
18.11.07
Some weekend. Andrew Meza from BTS Radio dropped by from LA and we had 26 hours to show him Scotland. We watched a lot of this and a lot of this and ate a lot of these. Check out our photos of the Ballers 5ocial Club, featuring Andrew Meza, aka Young Pancake aka the Mouth Watering Mexican aka Plain Zero aka Leroy Jenkies in our photo section above. BTS for life.
-
15.11.07
Back from Amsterdam. Ate a bottled octopus an' shit. Just needed to pass a big shout to Cinnaman and his lady Inge. Y'all looked after us real well. Photos up soon.
Oh, and Andrew Meza is in the country.
And we got some nice press about the crew in the Skinny Magazine this month. They have it online and you can read it in the author, Ema J's, blog here.
-
10.11.07
As I write this I stand on the stage of the Flexbar in Amsterdam. We just played the Beat Dimension party with Tom Trago and Cinnaman. It's rare that we see a crowd like this really. Tom's hat is like the man from Delmonti's. Heralds of Change live just happened with me, Dom Sum as mc and host. We have a few interviews tomorrow for Samurai.fm and Tom Trago's radio show on monday night. Stay flossy amsterdam.
-
We played second fiddle ( pause ) to Shape of Broad Minds in Dublin yesterday. a great show with a really drunk, open minded crowd that danced like crazy. Want to shout out the lord Janeiro, Keva and the dopest dj Jamad. Good lookin out. We hope to see you all again very soon.
-
05.11.07
Modeselektor really was an airhorn festival. Everyone was silly. Well done to Numbers an 'em, Rustie an 'em.
-
Janeiro Jarel played a pretty busy little jazz bar in Edinburgh this weekend.Wwhen he spotted Hud mo he asked the dj to photograph him with the 'Gawd', and tried to give him the mic. NEVER GIVE HUDSON MO THE MIC. IS Y'ALL CRAZY!!! - JJ called Mo out as ' The Saviour of Jazz!'. It was pretty funny.
-
29.10.07
We finally got the t.p's back for our first record due to the postal strike over here in the UK. so, um, let me see. I guess that means we're looking at you buying it in very in February. That makes sense. New year, new label to love.
-
26.10.07
Rustie and Jackmaster played alongside a solo A-Trak last night as DJ Mehdi was unable to show. He had a dooky leather jacket on for the majority of the late-90's french house set that he was playing. Still fairly pow! though. Joe took some ridiculous photos. We will add them to the photo section.
-
25.10.07
Dom Sum finally finished the artwork for All City Records new 7x7" series. A&R'd by Mike Slott, this stands to be a really beautiful collection of vinyl featuring new beat music from the likes of Hud Mo, Snowman, Fulgeance, Le N?ko, Cooper Hatchet, Naive Ted, Newman and Mike himself. Look out for it in over 08.
-
23.10.07
Just added this merch page to the website. it shows you the tees we have made and the tees we are currently getting produced for xmas. We only really make them for giving to friends and selling at live shows. You'll only see it if you read this comment as its not the sort of thing we want to be particularly known for. Selling you shit I mean. I once saw a rappers myspace and dude was trying to sell plastic stetson hats with his name on the rim. That said, if you like what we do and you want to wear our logo. Great. The monicker brings good fortune. It really does. Check out the merch page here.

20.10.07
Fulgeance was a beast last night. Dude ate haggis, ignored the 'grape or grain' rule and hung out with us until the break o' dawn. Definitiely a global beat scene monster with one of the best live shows we've witnessed yet. The Hendrix of the mpc. This is a cutting new music and its great to meet like-minds and see how they style it. Big shouts to the lovely Alice Princess Doufay for coming along too... And it's not like we really care if non-symmetrical people come to our shows or not, but it is worth mentioning that the audience was particularly good lookin at Ballers this month. We're talking pop-socks and those flecked, baggy nike tees. Gad zukes.
-
7.10.07
Heralds of Change live with Dom Sum, Fatima and Olivier DaySOUL, all in support of Madlib, J-Rocc, Eric Coleman, Chali 2na and B+. it was never gonna be a bad show was it. This was a lot of fun and nice to finally meet the good-ship Stones Throw head on. We apologise for the fact the soundcheck got cut so short. The sound was terrible. Still, the curse wasn't just on us. Otis broke his kik drum too and tried to play it for a further 20minutes. Special shouts to Olan, Dru at ARTDON'TSLEEP and Eric Coleman for holding us down.
