LDM’s Dutch wonderkid, Switch returns to the fold. He just keeps coming up with
the goods and we’re happy to welcome him back. This time he’s collaborated
with two more international cats, to create a couple of timeless gems.
 
In shops very soon!

Switch & Henree - Piece Of History

“Nightwalker”opens with some eerie sonics and deftly-moulded beats. The drop comes like a bolt from the blue, tumbling down through those bassbins with no remorse. Piecing together all the elements you've come to expect from a Lucky Devil release, with the emphasis as always on quality.

Nautilus re-emerges

“Liberty City Blues” is a minimalistic piece of jungle music reminiscent of early Photek or Source Direct. From the outset the tune just bubbles with menace and keeps on building and evolving throughout. A pure bass-heavy slice of proper jungle.



Data Liberty City Blues

“Autumn Drops” is a soulful roller that shows that this crew are ones to watch in 2010. Full of melancholy, icy vibes and a subtle bassline that gets right under your skin, this track is a firm favourite for this year.




Incident & Paul SG Autumn Drops

MATT IMPACT RUNS US THROUGH HIS MIX, TRACK-BY-TRACK…

Switch ft. Henree - Piece of History
“The ultimate set-opener, setting the mood instantly with its spoken-word intro. Taking things back to the early ‘90s, with a future twist, this track is for all those who remember and for all those just starting their journey.”

Do The Math - Fading Grey
“Made in 2005, this track still sounds just as good as it did then. Blending lush, musical soundscapes with a driving, filtered Amen and off-beat sub-bass.”

Survival - Sky
“Coming out later in the year on Ant TC1's label. Serious roll-age from one of our favourite producers.”

Vicious Circle - Jetpack
“So fresh out of the VC studio, it's not even 100% finished. Revolution has been a massive fan of these guys’ beats since day-one so we're stoked to have them on board.”

Break - Not Enough
“Bringing the unmistakable funk that Break does so well together with some filthy basslines and devilish hooks. Subtle jazz elements, vox-stabs and razor sharp beats keep your head nodding from start to finish.”

Incident ft. Paul SG - Autumn Drops
“These guys have been sending us beats for a while and they have obviously been putting in some serious effort.”

Switch ft. Stunna - Nightwatcher
“Opening with eerie sonics and deftly-moulded beats, the drop comes like a bolt from the blue, tumbling down through those bassbins with no remorse. Pieces together all the elements you've come to expect from a Lucky Devil release.”

Nocturnal - Been So Long
“This track is a revolutionary journey from start to finish. Crashing drums, intricate, morphing b-lines and a beautiful vocal combine with these boys’ tight production skills to form a piece of heart-wrenching badness.”

Survival - Point Five
“A straight-up, speaker-battering excursion that lulls you into a false sense of security before breaking down the doors with a relentless b-line.”

Dose & Menace - Trigger Happy
“This one cuts you down with its distinctive metallic chainsaw synth riff and clean percussion. A DJ favourite all round the world, watch out for the remix coming later this year.”

Sabre - Colony Assault
“When we first heard this we were stunned by the contrast in styles this man is capable of. A sinister, ominous roller that marches along with unstoppable force, packed with hypnotizing breaks and samples.”

Data - Blowpipe 
“A genre-defying, bass-excursion that had us all turning the volume up to max. An absolute killer track that has been turning heads from here to Kathmandu.”

Sabre & Survival - Omega King
“A stunning track that begins with epic strings and a beautiful piano hook, before the beats smoothly ease their way into the foray. As always with these two producers, the bassline remains unpredictable and morphs its way through the track like a tiger in the undergrowth.”

Zyon Base - The Wire
“Melancholic piano samples and a haunting vocal combine with tight breaks and a roaring b-line that gets straight down to business. We love this one!”

Do The Math & Alix Perez - Onyx
“Full of early ‘90s stabs and synths, relentless beats and a creeping b-line, this one still does damage on the dancefloor.”

Data, E and Dynamic - Skinwalkers
“An electronic journey into the darker reaches of the dancefloor, full of eerie soundscapes and some incredible beat programming.”

Cern - Sparrowhawk
“Deep, dark & dirty! Get your screw-faces ready cos this one’s dangerous.”

Break - Traits remix
“Big up the bad-man Break for letting us stick this remix on the mix, fresh out his studio. Incredible production as always! Pure badness!”

Bulletproof, Teknik & Nymfo - 3 Of A Kind
“New Zealand meets Holland on this mega-funk rollout. Watch out for this coming on Bulletproof's massive Cyanide imprint.”

Zero Tolerance & Survival - Cold Blood
“Minimal at its best. Serious b-line pressure and flawless production. Colder than the arctic extremes.”

Break - No Going Back
“Once the bass-groove gets hold and begins to work with the grinding mids there is quite literally no going back. Bad! Had to edit this short to fit into the hour limit so check the stores to hear the rest.”




Lucky Devil/Revolution Knowledge Mag Mix 2009

Lucky Devil Music was formed as a collective in 2001 by four likeminded individuals who wanted to put on some parties, make music and share their love for music.
    
    History
    All inspired by the innovation and originality of the Drum & Bass scene in the mid to late nineties, we set out to reinforce the diversity of the genre by recognising not just the music out there now, but also the funk, soul, jazz, rock, hip hop and multiple styles that have influenced it over the years. So we put on parties in Hoxton, the West End and South London championing this idea and giving people a chance to listen to music from the past, present and future. 
    As our members grew and developed we all branched off into different directions; Ayah pursued her singing career and formed a 5-piece funk/soul outfit called Slinkyfix, Matt Impact continued to DJ regularly on Rude FM, and decided to form his own label, Revolution Recordings, Guy Nautilus worked in music PR, as a journalist for ATM, Knowledge and Jockey Slut while also playing on Rude FM for 5 years, and Jon Baker pursued a career in Entertainments Law.
    As Revolution Recordings gained momentum and support and developed a reputation for putting out music of consistent quality, we felt the need to launch a new imprint which gave us more scope for diversity. Lucky Devil Recordings was launched in 2006 with a 12” from rising star Alix Perez and newcomer Switch and received a warm welcome from a wide spectrum of DJs and punters. 
    At the moment LDM is being run across the oceans as Guy is based in India and Matt and Ayah remain in the UK. Guy is studying Indian culture and music and researching in the Himalayas whilst working for an NGO, and there will undoubtedly be some eastern influences emerging on LDM releases in the future. Ayah is currently touring with her brand new material and you can catch her live in and around the UK regularly.
    Revolution is about to hit release 20 and Lucky Devil is continuing to garner support and release only the choicest of cuts, whilst looking for artists to sign on a long term basis.
