Our favourite electro band Cassette Electrik have some exciting news – after a few months of silence since their MusicRiot Presents/Album launch gig in November last year.

It was silence for a good reason – they’ve been using the past couple of months to write some awesome new tunes. They’ve been locked in a studio with producer Oli Horton (Trademark, Foals, Piney Gir, Chicks on Speed, amongst others) and expect that the resulting EP will be out in the springtime.

Can’t wait till spring comes? Well they will debut a few of the tracks at their gig at Madame Jojo’s, in Soho, London, on March 6th. Get along if you can, otherwise come back shortly after the gig for our review.

It’s the third MusicRiot Presents podcast – where we bring you two great artists.

He’s on the latest MusicRiot Presents podcast, so we thought we’d find out a little more about Lucky Jim!

So, who are you?
My name is Gordon Grahame and I make records as Lucky Jim as well as under my own name.

What’s the story behind the name?
Lucky Jim was actually originally a combination of my self as writer and singer and Ben Townsend as Producer.

I am originally from Edinburgh, but met Ben in Brighton and made our first album “Our Troubles End Tonight” and soon signed to Dance Label Skint Records – not one of my better ideas. Read more

I’m 180 centimetres tall, weigh 75 kilograms, I’m an Aries, my favourite colour is blue and I have a morbid fear of that nasty fake tomato sauce you get on baked beans and spaghetti hoops. Read more
