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.
Wait for it...
