Artist Interview: DJ Lucky Date

When Jordan Atkins-Loria (DJ Lucky Date) was introduced to Reason, he instantly recognized the potential of it's synths and set about to master them. Originally following tutorials he found online, Lucky Date began making his own tutorials which showcased his penchant for modern electro dance synths in Reason. As his tutorials grew in popularity, so did his career as a DJ and Producer.

In just a couple short years, DJ Lucky Date has gone from making his first video tutorial to completing 4 dirty electro dance ReFill sound libraries, charting on Beatport, and massive club and festival gigs as a headlininer.

We met up with Jordan one night in LA where he had a few thousand Angelinos jumping and screaming at Avalon in Hollywood, CA. Before the show he walked us through some of the secrets to his massive sounds and even gave us the patches so we can share them with you all.

[aguafiesta69]

you inspire me! keep it up. you deserve everything you've earned and more!

[moritzcasperdauner]

Nice Vid! :D

You should interview Dorincourt (Channel: ODSTHellJumper), he's an awesome producer and he makes really nice tutorials

[carlkiessig]

How can anyone dislike this? LuckyDate is one of the greatest and most down to earth guys in the industry. The fact that he still makes tutorials even though he has made it speaks loads for his personality.

[boatofcoins]
