Even with an alias like Lucky Date, Jordan Atkins-Loria had to hustle hard to carve out his own space in the electronic dance music world.

His diligent devotion to the craft has recently begun to payoff in a big way though. With an inimitable progressive house sound, he’s become a sought after artist and remixer, drawing the attention and endorsement of everyone from David Guetta to Porter Robinson and Excision. However, it’s taken a lot more than luck for him to get here.

“I started going to raves in the Bay Area,” he recalls. “I was just blown away by electronic music, especially hearing some of the early Benny Benassi material. I knew the production was similar enough to what I’d done with hip hop, but I was still a little nervous to try it. Once I moved to Chicago, I set out to make straight up electronic and house music.”

Now, he hasn’t turned back. Buzz began building online for his enigmatic and energetic style, and he quickly became a presence in the scene. His remix of of Datsik + Bare’s “King Kong” kicked off remixing a hot streak during 2012. Next, he dropped a sizzling hot remix of Madonna’s “Girl Gone Wild” for her official remix release also featuring Avicii and Dada Life. He followed that up with a remix of “Cudi The Kid,” the powerhouse collaboration between Steve Aoki, Travis Barker, and Kid Cudi.

Still, there’s nothing quite like Lucky Date’s original music. He penned “Fall Into the Sku” alongside Zedd and featuring Ellie Goulding, and it comes to life like a dream, merging swirling soundscapes with inescapable energy. That energy remains a hallmark of all his music.

Jordan describes the sound best: “Although the music can be really hard and heavy, ti’s still progressive house in the fact that it’s always progressing and building. There’s a lot of tension. I like messing around with that by creating big sounds that drop into the opposite feeling. The crowds tend to react to that.”
