"Good Luck" finds Basement Jaxx, the British electronic duo, making something that isn't house music at all and not caring who complains: a rock 'n' roll song on Kish Kash, their third album, sung by Lisa Kekaula of the American band the Bellrays, with a 16-piece orchestra along for the ride.
It fought them all the way. Kekaula first came across as a diva, which wasn't what they were after, and with two hours left before she had to head back to America, Simon Ratcliffe strummed an AC/DC riff, some words got scribbled down, and suddenly they had something that sounded nothing like their usual records, or like anything modern. Felix Buxton called it the hardest track on the album. It went out as the album's second single, reached 12 in the UK and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording.
