If there’s one bit of advice we we’re given throughout our lives, it’s these two golden words... ‘be yourself’ - and what better way to celebrate it than through the gift of music.

Earlier this year, SA’s electronic trio released their new single ‘Be Yourself’ off their new independent record label Get Lucky Records™, featuring their close friend from the Netherlands, DJ and Producer Boris Smith. The single is climbing the charts around the world from Mexico to Switzerland, and claiming top spots and garnering local and international attention in South Africa and the Netherlands. And excitingly, the single has been selected as the official anthem for the 2018 Hockey World Champions League. Just last week, the band announced the signing of the single worldwide to Armada Music opening it to an incredible global audience!

This August the dynamic trio have confirmed two headline shows in Europe – on Friday 3rd August at The Garage in London, with support from South African talent, The Kiffness. And on Saturday 4th August at Melkweg in Amsterdam coinciding with the city’s popular Gay Pride where thousands come together in celebration.

The band’s lead vocalist, Juliet Harding says, “We are so excited to have landed our first international headline shows, and we are on a total mission to sell them out! We would love to ask all our fans to please help us spread the word and invite everyone they know in Amsterdam & London, it’s only through your love and support that our music can spread to new parts of the world!”

SA’s electronic trio release their new single ‘Be Yourself’ on their brand new independent record label dubbed Get Lucky Records™ (international platforms) and Sony Music Africa for their Southern African fans. This label is the next big step in the band’s career and will focus on finding solely African talent for the international market.  The band are in talks with Bridges for Music to give back to the non-profit organisation with the hope to encourage Africa’s undiscovered talent to achieve global reach.

‘Be Yourself’ features a close friend from the Netherlands, DJ and Producer Boris Smith. Sharing his new sound with the world the Dutch muso has worked with the industry’s top talent such as Tiesto, Hardwell, Dannic and many more. While on tour in Europe, the band joined forces with Boris to produce the new single.

The new international record label Get Lucky Records™, formed in partnership with their manager Row Weber, is geared towards signing and empowering talent out of Africa for global music release. The idea came from the band’s first steps into the international market with signing to ULTRA Music in 2016, and wanting to open up opportunities for their fellow Africans as well as distributing their catalogue worldwide through their own label house. This move shows their confidence as a band and their sway as an independent music force across the globe. An exciting chapter to take control of their craft from the bottom up.

The band’s lead vocalist, Juliet Harding says, ‘This is my favourite track off our latest album [The Nature Within] as I was doing a lot of soul searching at the time whilst writing the lyrics - it’s an honest look into one’s self-worth and encourages everyone to be who they are and ignore the pressure to conform. There are so many people in the world and we’re all especially unique. We should not just fit in and have the courage to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks. It’s an uplifting track and pushes you to dance how you want to dance and ultimately be happy.’’  ‘Be Yourself’ is sure to climb the charts locally and abroad and has already been picked up by EDM giants, Tiesto and Sam Feldt who have both supported the track.

2017 proved to be an incredible year for GoodLuck and in the wake of their current chart success in South Africa, this ‘Be Yourself’ is sure to follow that trend. Download 'Be Yourself' now: https://fanlink.to/justbeyourself

GET LUCKY SUMMER NYE USHERS IN 2018 WITH SA’S TOP ACTS GOODLUCK, MANGO GROOVE & MATTHEW MOLE FOR UNFORGETTABLE NEW YEAR’S EVE CELEBRATION

The Garden Route’s favourite music series, Get Lucky Summer, hosted its first New Year’s Eve edition in Plettenberg Bay this past weekend with concert-goers in the thousands, ushering in 2018 in style!

The trendy holiday destination saw a sell-out crowd take over the Robberg Rugby Club field for a musical celebration with some of the country’s top acts. Friends and family said goodbye to 2017 at the bay’s biggest NYE concert in the last 10 years. The best in electronic, afro-pop, folk and pop music - this New Year’s Eve concert has set the bar for 'end of year' celebrations to come.

Opening up the party was Plett local, and DJ legend DJ BUTTERS who warmed up the crowd with his blend of tropical and deep house, before the live bands took to the stage.

Lyrical muso Matthew Mole had the audience singing along to his popular array of hits, and proved his effortless skill at wowing his fans. His multi-instrumental approach set the bench mark for an evening that went from strength to strength.

The country’s iconic afropop band Mango Groove, performed their number one hits from over the years to echoing cheers from the crowd, proving their force as one of the country’s most revered bands. The band’s lead singer, Claire Johnston said, ‘What a glorious way to see in this bright and shiny new year! It was so lovely to perform in Plett again after so many years and to have people of all ages sing our songs with us and celebrate being South African. 2018 feels good already!’

Ringing in the New Year and energising the party crowd to a fever pitch, was South Africa’s very own, top electronic trio GoodLuck. With their unique set lighting and on-stage electricity they had the crowd on their feet into the first few hours of 2018. Performing hit after hit, Jules, Ben and Matt ensured 2018 kicked off with a bang! ‘Tonight was the culmination of an incredible amount of hard work from our team and this concert is a dream come true for us all, everyone brought their A-game tonight! said Ben Peters.

As Midnight came and went under an explosion of special effects and a gigantic '18' that lit up the stage, the New Year had one more surprise for the 3000 strong crowd… at exactly 12:15 the heavens opened up and a light rain began falling in the water scarce town. ‘You’d had to have been there to believe it, thousands of people dancing in the rain singing our last song as our set came to an end,’  said Jules Harding. ‘I still have goose bumps just thinking about it!” Clothes were discarded, caution thrown to the wind and Plett’s inaugural Get Lucky Summer NYE event wound down as the rain fell on an audience who are probably still wondering, How did we get so lucky...

An unforgettable night, under the Garden Route stars and the best lineup the town has seen for decades!

Get Lucky Summer has grown to be GoodLuck and Plettenberg Bay’s biggest summer residency. The Get Lucky Summer Series will be back in 2018 after a string of sold-out concerts last season. More information about this season’s events and lineup to be announced in the coming months. Stay tuned!
