Tyson

Chaos

    ‘Chaos’ is the first release on LuckyMe for Londonborn R&B singer and songwriter Tyson.

    The 10 tracks that make up ‘Chaos’ were cowritten and produced by childhood friend Oscar Scheller (Lady Gaga, PinkPantheress, Shygirl). Born on the same day, their symbiotic songwriting expands on the dusky R&B and close-up modern soul of her previous releases, drilling deeper into homegrown bass culture - breakbeats, street soul and trip-hop - as well as reaching towards icy 1980s synthpop and spacious 2000s R&B. Lead track, ‘Grunge’, features Wu-Lu (Warp Records).

    Bubbling on the London music scene for years, Tyson is the daughter of legendary artist Neneh Cherry and producer Cameron McVey (Massive Attack, Portishead, All Saints, Sugababes), sister to singer Mabel and granddaughter to jazz legend Don Cherry.Her hazy, melancholic vocal style has seen her collaborate with underground royalty like Dean Blunt, Leon Vynehall, Ezra Collective, Coby Sey and rRoxymore, as well as appearing on Joy Orbison’s 2021 album ‘Still Slipping vol. 1’.

    Acclaimed by The Guardian as One To Watch and receiving heavy radio support from Annie Mac, Benji B, Lauren Laverne, Mary Anne Hobbs and Jamz Supernova amongst many others.

    For fans of Tirzah, FKA Twigs, Solange, Sault, Kelela, Yazmin Lacey.

    Nosaj Thing

    Continua

      The long awaited return of Nosaj Thing AKA Jason Chung, his 5th album and his debut for LUCKYME®, Continua is an ensemble work from the artist Pitchfork dubbed the ‘preeminent modern minimalist’.

      The record features 12 artists at the fore of jazz, hip hop, rock, soul and the avant garde, brought together by the cohesiveness of Chung's signature atmospheres: Toro y Moi, Julianna Barwick, Duval Timothy, Panda Bear (Animal Collective), Eyedress, serpentwithfeet, Pink Siifu, HYUKOH, Mike Andrews, Sam Gendel, Slauson Malone, Coby Sey, Kazu Makino (Blonde Redhead) and more contribute to this future classic.

      “There’s multiple energies on the record and every time I hear it, it feels alive to me. It’s a communal record and we all tuned into something. My hope is that this could impact whoever's listening to it in a positive way. Continua invites you forward. To keep going.”

      The heightened emotional undertones of Continua nod to a golden era where virtuosic electronic, downtempo and hip hop-inspired production transcended the late 90s MTV2 pop canon. Nosaj Thing's expertise is in crafting soundscapes that imply his journey, tracing back to the noise and punk shows at DIY venue The Smell, to working behind the counter of Turntable Lab, to his debut at Low End Theory, his opening performances for The xx and then The Weeknd. He’s played a decade of ambitious, headline experiences with Tokyo-based visual savant, Daito Manabe. This essence of IRL live-ness imbues his music with such a visceral emotional range that it would be reductive to describe it as a 'mood'. But it's exactly that communally-shared 'mood' that has made Nosaj Thing such a cult artist across his 16-year-deep discography.

      Jacques Greene

      ANTH01

        A collection of tracks from early out-of-print Jacques Greene 12”s spanning the first 10 years of his career.

        Featuring the classics that introduced him to the world - ‘The Look’ and ‘Another Girl’ - as well as collaborations with Koreless and How To Dress Well, and two new exclusive ‘lost tracks from the era’.

        Greene has been making music ‘about the club’ for over a decade. His sound has developed into an emotional haze exemplified on his ‘Feel Infinite’ and ‘Dawn Chorus’ albums.

        Outside of his own releases, Greene has explored his relationship with the club in a variety of contexts, from remixing Radiohead to producing for Katy B and Tinashe and touring with The xx.

        For fans of Four Tet, Floating Points, Burial.

        “Mesmerising electronics for the club, after-party, and beyond” - DJ

        “A decade since he released his first EP, he’s still finding new paths to euphoria” - Pitchfork

        “Finely-sculpted excursions into the hybrid house/garage/bass sound that he helped spark around the turn of the decade, an unwaveringly great set of tracks that are buoyant, melodic and pretty much mesmerising” - Mixmag

        Eli Keszler

        Icons

          Lucky Me present the new album from New York based percussionist and composer Eli Keszler. Keszler has released music on Empty Editions, ESP Disk and PAN. His album Stadium released on Shelter Press was awarded Boomkat’s 2018 Album Of The Year. Frequent collaborator to Oneohtrix Point Never, Laurel Halo, Kevin Beasley and Rashad Becker – Keszler’s work has shown at The Lincoln Centre, MoMA PS1, MIT List and The Barbican.

          Keszler has written the original score to Dasha Nekrasova’s feature The Scary of Sixty First' and his other film work includes contributions to Daniel Lopatin's score for the Safdie Brother’s acclaimed, Uncut Gems. Keszler's new album, Icons builds upon fragments of American abstraction, dreamlike ancient melodicism, industrial percussion, jazz age film noir and imperial decay. The music takes on forms difficult to describe outside an articulation of the loss and wonderment that defines our age.

          STAFF COMMENTS

          Barry says: Keszler perfectly displays his considerable talents with 'Icons' lurching between luscious downbeat grooves and almost static ambient swells. As you'd expect, the percussion work here is second to none, and the entire thing is rich with the crisp deep production skills Keszler is known for. A haunting and intoxicating experience.

          KUČKA

          Wrestling

            LA-based producer KUČKA’s debut album, ‘Wrestling’, is a personal and intimate collection of songs - but it is also relatable in its evocation of universally human themes and experiences. In her own words, “I like the idea of someone else hearing the songs and being able to wear them, to transfer the lyrics to their own life.”

            She has worked alongside a number of high-profile collaborators, producing and singing on tracks with artists as diverse as Flume, A$AP Rocky, Vince Staples, SOPHIE, Fetty Wap and Kendrick Lamar.

            On ‘Wrestling’, the intricate production of KUČKA’s earlier EPs is placed in the service of her most beautifully rendered songs to date. While her music has often leaned toward the experimental, ‘Wrestling’ is marked by a conscious effort to produce tracks that work as ‘songs’ (she wrote over fifty pieces before narrowing them down to the eleven here): lyrics are personal and literal, their open emotionality contrasting with the simple but hyper-digital production within which they are embedded. As with KUČKA’s previous releases, the album is self-produced.

            There is no definitive genre uniting the album beyond its broadly ‘electronic’ palette but the open emotionality of the album’s lyrics contrasts with the simple but hyperdigital production within which they are embedded.

            Jacques Greene

            Dawn Chorus

              LuckyMe proudly present the new album from Jacques Greene, "Dawn Chorus". The record is bold step forward and his most collaborative project to date, featuring additional production and instruments from film composer Brian Reitzell (Lost In Translation), cello by London’s Oliver Coates, additional production from Clams Casino and vocal contributions from ambient artist Julianna Barwick, rapper Cadence Weapon and singers Ebhoni and Rochelle Jordan.

              If the Canadian artist’s 2017 debut album "Feel Infinite" was the soundtrack to a dream pregame - amping you up to lose yourself in the club - then "Dawn Chorus" resides in the post-rave reflective moment. A time of heightened sensuality and latent possibility.

              Now 29, Greene has been making music for the club for over a decade. His sound could be described as an emotional haze, in that its balance of sonic elements work to illuminate the overlapping feelings that lie between the familiar binaries. "Dawn Chorus" opens with "Serenity", an all-back-to-mine breaks tune that Greene describes as 'a weird, euphoric take on Chemical Brothers.' "Night Service" is a neon-lit hip house anthem helmed by Canadian rapper Cadence Weapon, who drapes a love letter to the club around Greene’s acid-dipped synths. Elsewhere, "Distance" blends ambient textures with sampled birdsong and the snaking lines of Oliver Coates’ cello.

              Jacques Greene

              Afterglow / You Can't Deny

                LuckyMe star and bass-house monolith Jacques Green returns with "Afterglow", alongside fan favourite and summer hit single "You Can’t Deny".  It’s been two years since we last heard new music from the Canadian artist and producer who helped revolutionize the palette of new dance music with his colourful set of contemporary influences. "Afterglow" on first listen has the potential to be this year "Hyph / Mngo", or some equally large Floating Points numbers. Anthemic yet painfully contemporary, it's gonna sound equally catchy blazing out of the Funktion1's at your local dance party as it is blaring obnoxiously out of the mid-range tweeter on your Samsung Galaxy.  "You Can't Deny" matches its former, possibly surpassing it even with sheer serotonin-flooded luminescent joy. A speed up RnB vocal riding neon-purple synth stabs and dropping with an almighty snare roll. The main hook consisting of rock solid 808 subs, trap-style hats, and a consistent vocal stab. Like "Afterglow" there's huge chorus' and massive hooks but the whole thing is wrapped in a futureproof glow that cement it as a sure fire hit with the yoof.
                Born and raised in Montreal, now residing in Toronto via New York’s Lower East Side, Jacques Greene broke out of a generation of independent electronic labels like Uno, 3024, Night Slugs and LuckyMe as a genre-defining artist (via 2011’s ’Another Girl’, one of Pitchfork’s Songs Of The Decade) who laid the blueprint for countless young producers and DJs inspired by the intersection of contemporary music such as hip hop, RnB, house and techno.
