Mixtapes
2012 sees us re-establish this series of indulgent curated mixtapes by friends and family of the LuckyMe label. In an age of simply too many disposable club mixes there is something to be said for the trusted integrity of the curator. Don’t just take our word for it – feel free to pour over these mixes dating back to the formation of LuckyMe in 2007. We always ask our contributors to feel completely liberated – mixes of alternative genres and guilty pleasures are completely encouraged here. With over 100 tapes into the archive you are less likely to hear the big songs of the current month here. We will either bring you brand new exclusive dubs or dig deep and do something unexpected.
New tapes become available here or via iTunes podcast on the 1st of the month. Then online at Mixcloud soon after. Thank you to the contributors. Oh, and most importantly… thank you to our friends who model the tapes.

1. The Blessings & Hudson Mohawke - Oddities X LuckyMe Mixtape
This was our first mixtape together since the invention of the LuckyMe label. A promo mix for the streetwear brand Oddities, made way back in July 07. We took this mix to Barcelona’s Bread and Butter trade show and 300 CDs flew the coop. One of the CDs ended up with Benji B and caught us some early support on his Deviation show. We remember recording it round at Mo’s moms place – laying out vinyl on the floor to plan it out. Years later we can see how weird and important this first mix together was – a galaxy of genres that inspired us. I mean, don’t get me wrong it’s not a masterpiece at all. It was one casual night with a pizza and some records but in hindsight this tape is a mission statement of sorts for what this genre-free label has become.
Peace to Paisley
