VOGUE (LUXXURY LIVE EDIT)

Just Like It Was Before is the new single by LA-born Blake Robin—better known as LUXXURY. Made in close collaboration with Jill Lamoureux of Scavenger Hunt and Tim Bernhardt of Satin Jackets. If that combination of ingredients excites you: you’re right, it should.

Just Like It Was Before has a certain endlessness to it. Glassy, yet warm; beautifully classic, but incredibly modern at the same time. Dance music for adults. Shiny, yet subdued; like a vintage Camaro. Quintessential electronic pop music, done right.

The song itself deeply explores the perils of hindsight in the digital age; “I’m so sick of staring at my phone”, which rings through the pre-chorus as the perfect summary of this emotion. Even though the lyrics convey a yearning to days gone past, there is a certain hopefulness to the song which whispers that it might just be alright. A sentiment not out-of-place in our current pandemic climate. 

The crystalline, squeaky-clean instrumental comes courtesy of a co-production with Tim Bernhardt, of Satin Jackets fame—providing the perfect bedding for Lamoureux’ sweet, watery voice. 

LUXXURY is a bona fide disco-wizard with the receipts to prove it—whether it’s supporting the likes of Giorgio Moroder and The Juan Maclean on tour or going viral on Tik Tok, Robin is like the Nu-Disco Swiss army knife of the dance world. 

With regular support from taste makers such as KCRW, SPIN, Kitsuné and Future Disco to name a few, LUXXURY’s Just Like It Was Before is an excellent example of his signature brand of melancholic disco, shooting some much-needed glitter into our world.

‘LUXXURY – Just Like It Was Before (Feat. Jill Lamoureux)’ (BA087) out October 29 on all digital formats via Boogie Angst.

ROCK THE CASBAH (LUXXURY LIVE EDIT)

LUXXURY rips into 2022 like a goddamn hurricane with 'Somebody Tonight', featuring a sick ass slap n pop bassline, a dope ass driving beat, a yearning falsetto vocal with tons of reverb and a throbbing synthesizer line that would make Cerrone weep. What more could anyone possibly want in a dancefloor destroyer? This is *heat*, nothing more nothing less than a Towering Disco Inferno of a track. Buy it or risk being a laughingstock, Jeremy.

Somebody Tonight

LUXXURY (aka LA producer Blake Robin) is ready to start summer early this year with his new pool party friendly daytime disco jam 'I Need Somebody.’ A ground-up reworking of his previous single, 'Somebody Tonight' (also included on the new EP), the track dials down the sick, slap n pop bassline of its sister song, while revisiting Robin's  yearning falsetto vocal with a bouncy house beat and an infectiously chill bassline to underscore the beach friendly 70s Rhodes and Wurli keyboards and dubbed out synths.

I Need Somebody

A mixtape with an hour's worth of <100bpm slow edits, designed for a laconic Sunday drive to the ocean. Put the top down on the Karmann Ghia and drive west on Sunset to the sea. Once you hit Highway 1, keep driving north towards Malibu. Breathe in the country air to the East and the Pacific Ocean to the West; and succumb to the sunshine that surrounds you. Life in the slow lane will surely make you regain your mind; the past never sounded so present.

LUXXURY - SLOW EDIT MIXTAPE '78

LA producer Blake Robin aka LUXXURY’s new full length album finds the bassline-obsessed disco addict experimenting with funk, synthpop and even (gasp!) pure instrumentals. “Increasingly in my most recent singles I’ve been treating vocals like instruments” says Robin, “backgrounding and balancing them as sonic elements instead of centerpieces,so the listener gets lost in the groove.” And indeed the star of these 11 songs is undoubtedly the 11 stellar basslines that ground the swirling synths and melodies as vocal fragments coolly dip in and out of the mix along. Highlights include: KCRW fave “What Are We Gonna Do?”; the slap bass workout “Somebody Tonight”; the contemplative “…At Any Moment” (playlisted by Purple Disco Machine) and its sister track, the title track “Alright”; while playful disco-house burner “Let’s Stay Together” blends house and jazz-funk rhythms with his trademark dusty basslines. The 11 songs on LUXXURY’s album are all infectiously rhythmically-oriented while exploring new disco directions.

RAPTURE (LUXXURY LIVE EDIT)

LA producer LUXXURY (Blake Robin)’s “Alright EP” deconstructs the title track of his latest album. Arriving at a moment of transition, the song - performed, sung and fully mixed by Robin - is a minimal synthpop ode to optimism, with the message: “everything is gonna be alright.” In the classic tradition of Jamaican versioning, the tracks are not remixes but rather deconstructions and reductions of the original. For example, “Alright (Dub)” removes the synths from the original; while “Alright (Ambient)” isolates *only* the synths; and in classic 12” single form, “Alright (Drumcapella)” allows the listener to hear just the beat under the isolated vocal; while “Alright (Instrumental) trips away the vocals allowing the deep bass and shimmering synths to shine.

As LUXXURY puts it: “As a collector of multitrack stems, I enjoy hearing the soloed instruments and wanted to experiment with releasing my own material that way. These elements can certainly be used as DJ and remixer tools, but they also stand alone for a listener to enjoy and hear the song in a completely new way. And I love how, unlike remixes, nothing new has been added to the song, only taken away: these are all simply reductions of the original version.” The song itself a reworking of LUXXURY’s song  ‘..At Any Moment' (playlisted by Purple Disco Machine) - so these versions are versions of a version. You heard me.

A mixtape with an hour’s worth of just-slightly-north of 100bpm edits, designed for a sly 3am skinny dip in the rooftop pool at the hotel.

Do what you need to do to convince the poolside bartender to let you slip this mix on the soundsystem as he leaves you to enjoy a slow, delicious moonlight swim.

WALKING ON A DREAM (LUXXURY [Live In Manchester, 2015] EDIT)

A slow-motion dip into an existential disco swimming pool. Perfect for a weekend BBQ or just a mid-summer malaise.

What Do Ya Really Want? (Radio Edit)

We love this nu-disco take on the original: slightly faster, piano-ier & house-ier, and yet faithful in all the right ways...bravo Marcos!!

What Do Ya Really Want? (UNOMAS Remix)

LUXXURY follows the success of his latest singles “Breathe (Again)” (1.5 million Spotify streams in first 5 months) and neo-disco classic “Feel the Night” with a new smooth yet dance-able magic hour-tinged love song, “I Need You.” Singer/Producer/Multi Instrumentalist Blake Robin explains: “It's the most honest song I’ve ever written, indeed when I sing it live I blush from revealing myself in public so shamelessly. But frankly I’m a bit of an exhibitionist, so it all works out.” On keys once again is Robin’s frequent collaborator Billy Caruso, whose shimmering Rhodes line gives the otherwise upbeat dance song an aching, melancholy tone. Guest bassist Joe Karnes from Fitz and the Tantrums gives Robin’s original bassline a punch in the gut, elevating it to disco funk heaven.

In 2013 LUXXURY started to release a series of unofficial remixes called "LUXXURY edits" using only original multitrack stems for a number of famous songs including Eagles' "Hotel California” Duran Duran's "Girl on Film"and many more. As a result of the attention he received (Wall Street Journal, LA Times, Vice etc.) he began to get commissioned remix work from artists such as Greg Wilson, Melanie Martinez and Fitz & The Tantrums. In 2016 Luxxury released a series of original singles, appeared on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly, and got support from outlets as Majestic Casual, Spin and Complex. LUXXURY has had more than 2 million streams on Spotify with over 200k average monthly listeners.

Feelin' Fine in '79: A KCRW Exclusive Mixtape

Be Good 2 Me is a muscular, bass guitar-powered take on what happens when disco goes rock 'n' roll. LUXXURY explains: "‘Be Good 2 Me' was inspired by that 1979 moment where rock bands like Kiss, The Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart all made their token 'disco song.’ I was also inspired by  the melodic punk basslines of The Clash’s ‘The Magnificent Seven’ and Hot Chocolate’s ‘Every 1’s A Winner”, with its funk stomp and heroic electric guitar line. I love the intersection of disco, funk, rock and pop, all with a dash of post-punk ‘we can barely play our instruments’ attitude. But rather than Autotuning and Pro Tooling everything to perfection I like to leave a lot of rough edges intact, but with modern production to give it and updated dancefloor thump." Written and performed by Blake Robin with B-section assistance from Billy Caruso.

Live Remix DJ Set @ OutsideLands, S.F. August 10, 2018

LA indie disco/funk producer LUXXURY (Blake Robin) kicks off a series of indie dance/nu disco singles to culminate in an EP of duets to be released Summer 2019. “Another Lifetime” finds him sharing microphone duties with fellow LA synth-loving duo Scavenger Hunt (Jill Lamoureux & Dan Mufson). “After last summer's success with Kraak & Smaak on “Keep it Together” I got really excited about collaborating with other similarly minded artists to stretch out my sound. For the first time, I let go of controlling the production side and let Dan focus on wearing that hat, while Jill and I worked out melodies and lyrics based on a sort of “Sliding Doors” daydream I’d just had. Periodically I’d switch to bass or guitar to work on the music with Dan, then back to the topline with Jill, til by the end the song was absolutely the perfect blend of all of our input. It was super fun teamwork, something I’m getting much better at after years of hunkering down with long nights alone in front of Ableton Live!”  Other collaborations in the works for LUXXURY include Adeline from Escort, Satin Jackets, Goldroom and many more.

Another Lifetime ft. Scavenger Hunt (Extended Version)

LA indie disco producer LUXXURY’s newest single “Another Lifetime” with LA duo Scavenger Hunt follows his Beatport Top 10 “Keep it Together” with Kraak and Smaak. Forthcoming collaborations include Adeline from Escort, Satin Jackets, Goldroom and many more. The LUXXURY remix refocuses the groove to drive the indie dancefloor, perfect for fans of LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip, Holy Ghost & Breakbot.

Another Lifetime (Future Disco Edit)

What Are We Gonna Do (Extended Version)

Los Angeles-based disco maven LUXXURY’s follows up on KCRW "Morning Becomes Eclectic" favorite "What Are We Gonna Do?" with another quasi-instrumental “Make it Right." Like Khruangbin meets Tory Y Moi and Washed Out with a falsetto nod to The Bee Gees, the song is all dusty beats, dreamy synths and a minimal just out of reach falsetto vocal. Inspired by a breakup (a bad one, like...really bad) the song is a hopeful refrain of redemption, in anticipation of new beginnings.

Make It Right

“Set Me Free", the title track from Los Angeles disco/funk lover LUXXURY's new EP, is pure disco: a walking bassline, a melancholy chord progression, and a simple, pleading vocal mantra. The parenthetical in the title ("Song for a Person Walking Away) evokes the image of someone - or perhaps all of us, in these weirdo times - optimistic strutting into the distance, away from ones troubles, toward a better future. The EP's five slices of dreamy 80’s disco and funk influenced bedroom pop first got on the radar of in the know indie dance fans after repeated airplay on LA tastemaker station KCRW . But the grooves, rubbery bass lines and shimmering synths barely mask the anxiety in the vocals, as LUXXURY (Blake Robin) sings as if he were peering into the future from the world we’ve all just - and so, very recently - left behind.

Set Me Free (Extended)

Set Me Free (Song for a Person Walking Away) [Extended]

LUXXURY (Kitsuné, Future Disco, Boogie Angst, Eskimo, Deep&Disco, Big Beat) makes dance music for adults. Raw, funky bass-lines plucked with grown-man finesse. A mastery of space disco native only to those who lived through the late '70s/early '80s. Dust in the glitter that vibrates in the space between string stabs, bongo slaps, and guitar jabs—while the steady pulse and astral effects feel beamed in from a more cybernetic future Los Angeles. That's where the nu-disco wizard born Blake Robin dwells when he isn't on the road opening for Giorgio Moroder or the Juan MacLean, leading his 4 piece band on late-night TV or remixing live at DJ sets in Mexico City, New York and London. In fact, you might've first felt his deft touch via the controversial  LUXXURY Edits—where he uses multi-tracks (stems) of classic hits to create dubby slow-disco versions—but his original music is no less arresting, with a sound that reflects not only a newfound earnestness of expression but a lifelong love for the craft of disco.
