Review: Introducing KUCKA! A hotly tipped, fresh and new artist to emerge in full debut form via LuckyMe. A Liverpool born vocalist and producer now residing in Australia - explaining something of her connection to the Future Classic label and Dro Carey - she now drops her first studio album. Synth heavy, bass inspired and vocal driven, Wrestling is certainly connected to a world of postmodern new age pop! A prime example being the '90s R&B motifs in "Afterparty" alongside deeper dancefloor connections in tracks like "Joyride" and "No Good For Me". Threading the album with a sequence of futuristic pop and fusion crossover in tracks like "Real", "Drowning" and "Ascension", KUCKA's debut, Wrestling, wins hands down.
Review: It's here, the man behind that track "Harlem Shake", now throws us a full length on Glasgow based imprint LuckyMe, but he's matured a lot since that infamous track. The trap poster boy explores a varied selection of beats and feats on Aa, we particularly enjoyed the collaborations on here such as the full frontal assault of "Day Ones" feat Novelist and Leikeli47, the sombre yet sexy street sound of "Way From Me" featuring Tirzah, the exotic bass heavy swagger of Temple featuring the return of MIA with G DRAGON and "Kung Fu" featuring Pusha T & Future's street knowledge: speaking some truth proper!
Review: Joseph Marinetti steps up to the LuckyMe ring with five tracks featuring the similarly confrontational qualities of the PC Music crew. "Ms. Telesales" moves like a free-party techno track after it's been dragged through a ball pit, while "Kenzo Lee" takes a more housey direction with a DX7 bassline offset by glistening lashings of twee day-glo synths. "Lipsync" too keeps the chirpy Mario World house tones in place, but it's on "3D Hentai Stud" that the really flamboyant and downright loony production traits come through.
