2016
The first LuckyMe album campaign was for Baauer's debut "Aa". The record was announced on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on 27 January 2016 alongside a performance of the single "Day Ones" with Leikeli47. The album featured Future, G-Dragon, Leikeli47, M.I.A., Novelist, Pusha T, Rustie, Tirzah and TT the Artist. Music video directors and animators who contributed to the album include Hiro Murai, Thomas Rhazi, Jesse Kanda, Nic Hamilton and frequent collaborator Jonathan Zawada. 'Aa' was released on 18 March 2016 and was awarded Triple J Feature Record, charting at number 52 in the Australian Albums (ARIA) chart; as well as in Billboard's Top Dance / Electronic Albums (3), and US Heatseekers Albums (11). The album was awarded one of Complex 50 Best Albums of The Year, and Billboard's 10 Best Dance / Electronic Albums of 2016. 'Aa' soundtracked Budweiser's Super Bowl Campaign, four campaigns for Nike including The Switch with Cristiano Ronaldo and has since featured in major motion pictures Logan
and Red Sparrow.
'Aa' was used as the soundtrack to Alexander Wang's A/W show and Baauer was invited to model for the brand. In 2016 LuckyMe also released NAKED's debut album, 'Zone' - launching the album with a performance at St John of Hackney alongside Merzbow and Thurston Moore. Also in 2016, LuckyMe released Jacques Greene 12" Afterglow / You Can't Deny, and a re-issue of a classic Chicago House / Freestyle record "Never Let Go" by Mickey Oliver & Shanna Jae. The release was selected by Eclair Fifi who often played the song out in her DJ sets. LuckyMe also released an ep called 'Secret Palace' from Glasgow-based grime producer Inkke.
2017
In 2017 LuckyMe released six full length projects by Lunice, Cid Rim, Sevendeaths, Sam O.B. Joseph Marinetti and notably "Feel Infinite" - the debut album by Jacques Greene. The album received strong critical acclaim upon release with The Wire magazine stating "Greene's invention consistently sparkles and startles", Clash Magazine wrote "Working on something innately cerebral and wholly physical, genre-less and a style of its own, Jacques Greene never fails to surprise". Pitchfork described the release "his long-overdue love letter to the dance floor". The original artwork for the release by Mathieu Fortin and Hassan Rahim was appropriated for a range of brands including Dior Homme, JD Sports, Infinite Archives & Nick Jonas. Jacques Greene launched the album via performances at Sonar Festival in Barcelona, a curated line up at Electric Brixton in London, including Lone, Pional, Eclair Fifi and Yves Tumor, and in his home town of Montreal, Greene took over the derelict public bathhouse, Bain Mathieu, with a unique AV show created by artists Adam Humell and Melissa Matos.
2018
In 2018 LuckyMe released a triptych of Baauer singles which saw the producer collaborate with AJ Tracey, Jae Stephens,
Soleima and cyber it-girl Miquela Sousa. "Hate Me ft Miquela" was featured on Spotiy's Times Square Billboard and Miquela featured on the covers of 032C, King Kong, Metro, High Snobiety. The video for 'Company' by Baauer ft
Soleima was directed by Jonathan Zawada and was premiered by Pitchfork. The video depicts machines attempting to use phones and prosthetics to simulate human connection.
On 1 April LuckyMe released the debut studio album by Montreal-based singer and songwriter Stephan Armstrong aka Littlebabyangel. At this point the album was not a commercial release, but rather a private chain letter sent to the label's mailing list on an open link. Users were asked to spread the word and forward mails to friends. The record was finally released on all formats on Halloween 2018. In a new precedent for the site, Pitchfork reviewed the mixtape while still a private link, and called GADA "...a daring, eclectic mix of experimental R&B...", stating "...he won't stay a secret for long."
On 6 July LuckyMe released the first studio album by New Orleans-based James Richard Prudhomme aka Suicideyear. Titled "Colour The Weather" - the release explored themes of family, nostalgia and alienation. Singles included 'Tired' and "Days Forever featuring Georgia Barnes". The album art saw a collaboration between friends Ezra Miller & Mickey Joyce who together with Prudhomme produced impressionistic generative collages from locations around Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
On 15 November LuckyMe released the Fever Focus ep by Jacques Greene. The six track project was designed by New York-based illustrator Braulio Amado. The music on the ep first premiered in a short run cassette release exclusive to bandcamp and was accompanied by a long form art film parody which showed Greene browsing the Internet for the duration of the tape: his face subtly reflected in the screen while moving between browser windows. The mixtape was reviewed by Pitchfork who said "It's a delight to know that Aubin-Dionne's next phase won't sacrifice his knack for melodrama, but even more exciting to glimpse the new depths ahead." Fever Focus was the final project started on the tape, with six tracks spread across two separate single vinyl, mastered and cut to vinyl in dance format - A side at 45rpm, B side at 33.3rpm- by mastering engineer Matt Colton. On digital streaming platforms the release was handled as a series of six consecutively revealed digital singles, each accompanied by a visualiser film on YouTube.
