A Little Bit of Everything
GoodLuck isn’t your typical electronic outfit. They don’t just press play and call it a set. No, these guys bring live instrumentation, infectious melodies, and a whole lot of African flair to the table. Their sound sits comfortably somewhere between electronic pop and dance, with a healthy dose of afro-house, jazz, and tribal beats thrown in for good measure. It’s the kind of music that makes you feel something—whether that’s nostalgia, pure joy, or the sudden need to dance like nobody’s watching.
Meet the Band
The group is made up of three talented musicians: Ben Peters, the mastermind producer and drummer; Juliet Harding, the voice and lyrical heart of the band; and Tim Welsh, who brings the sax and keyboard magic. Together, they create something truly special.
Ben describes their creative process as a bit like cooking: everyone brings ingredients to the kitchen, and he’s the one who tries to turn it into a gourmet meal. Juliet adds the emotional depth, crafting lyrics that hit home, while Tim’s saxophone adds that extra spice that makes GoodLuck’s music stand out.
Hits That Keep on Coming
Since their debut in 2011, GoodLuck has been dropping hit after hit. “I’ve Been Thinking About You” was a massive chart-topper, hitting #1 on South African radio and keeping its spot for weeks. “Back in the Day” and “Be Yourself” gained traction overseas, landing them on major playlists and radio stations across Europe. Their latest track, “Rum & Cola,” is already making waves, proving that GoodLuck isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
The GoodLuck Live Experience
If you haven’t seen them live yet, you’re seriously missing out. GoodLuck’s shows are electric (pun intended). Their innovative setup includes drum machines, synths, electronic percussions, a live sax, and, of course, Juliet’s powerhouse vocals. It’s not just a concert—it’s a full-blown experience. They’ve shared stages with big names like Pharrell Williams, Robin Schulz, and Basement Jaxx, but they still keep their performances intimate and personal, making every crowd feel like they’re part of the magic.
Beyond the Music
GoodLuck isn’t just about making bangers; they also care about making a difference. Their GoodLuck Cares Foundation helps support various causes, and their Get Lucky Summer concert series has become a staple on the SA music calendar. Oh, and did we mention they have their own record label? Get Lucky Records is home to some of the freshest new talent in electronic music.
The Secret to Their Success
So what makes GoodLuck so good? Maybe it’s their unique ability to mix electronic beats with live instruments. Maybe it’s their knack for writing songs that actually mean something. Or maybe it’s just their undeniable energy and passion for what they do. Whatever it is, one thing is clear—these guys are here to stay.
So, next time you’re looking for the perfect soundtrack to a road trip, a beach party, or just a solo dance-off in your lounge, give GoodLuck a spin. Chances are, you’ll be hooked.
