When I wrote about the glitchy-hoppy-droppy Lazer Bass phenomenon a few weeks back — featuring local amazerz Lazer Sword — I neglected to drop the name of hot Scot collective LuckyMe, who are def a big part of the up-and-coming scene.
But I’m glad I neglected, because I’ve been tripping out on LuckyMe’s latest, mindbending mix for XLR8R. Click here to listen. The mix goes way beyond the lazers and grime, into some grittily beautific territory for which there is yet no name. (I refuse to say “emotronic!” Refuse! And you can hear some more great LuckyMe tracks at their MySpace page.) It was put together by LuckyMe sub-duo The Blessings, aka Dom Sum and FineArt.

I can’t imagine jumping around a dancefloor to any of this really, but my hands were in the air nonetheless — it’s been a long time since I got ravin’ in the cubicle.
