LuckyMe Music.Art.Parties: a crew that I formed alongside Hudson Mohawke, Dominic Flannigan and Martyn Flyn wayyy back in 2004 during my time in Glasgow, Scotland. Now we work together alongside many other good creative folks putting out good records, artwork and shows.
Lucky 9teen by Mike Slott (LM003)
Release Date Nov 30th 2009 / 12" Vinyl & Digital Worldwide.
Limited Pressing
LuckyMe are very proud to present “Lucky 9teen” the new release from the innovative young producer Mike Slott.
Representing the largest collection of his solo music released to date, this ”Lucky 9teen” micro album showcases several different sides to Mike Slott from the serene atmospherics of 'The Now' to the breezy synth-pop of Gardening as well as his signature bass-heavy-slumper '40 winx'.
Over the last few years Mike has cemented his reputation at the forefront of futurist hip hop production. With a style that is hard to pin down - encompassing a myriad of influences from free jazz to 80s boogie via golden age hip hop. His previous work alongside Hudson Mohawke as Heralds of Change set the benchmark for the new-school of dynamic beatmakers. Since then he has released 2 solo 7”s on All City, a split 7” with Dabrye, appeared on Beat Dimensions 2, Mary Anne Hobbs 'Wild Angels' compilation and provided high profile remixes for Warp and Citinite.
Originally from Dublin, via Glasgow, now based in Harlem NYC Mike has many places to draw upon. The son of the late-Jazz legend Mike Nolan and brother to the modern classical composer Luke Slott, Mike effortlessly embodies his influences on this release.

Ca faisait déja un petit moment que j'avais envie de le balancer on line donc voila c'est fait, mon premier EP "Acteur Majeur", sorti en 2005 et entièrement produit par mon négro La chauve-souris (eklektic records), est téléchargeable gratuitement en cliquant sur ce lien :
En attendant l'album, c'est donc une petite session back in the dayz que je propose à tous les amateurs d'original-bestown-vibes qui n'ont pas eu l'occaz d'écouter ce skeudi à l'époque !
Pour vous résumer le délire, "Acteur Majeur" ça rime, ça phase, ça flow, ça parle de chiens, de chattes, d'oreilles frigides, d'ennemi d'ma femme et de voies express, le tout couché sur une production hip-hop sauce Bat-Boo, tout droit sortie d'une prise jack d'MPC 2000 XL, mêlant au boom-bap, le jazz, la funk et l'électro !
Yo Mike Slott - Lucky 9Teen NOV 30thasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
