LUXXURY - Original Songs

LA Disco producer, KCRW fave & rising TikTok star (200k followers for his “Inside The Song” videos) LUXXURY aka Blake Robin hits on a new, house-ier direction with new single "Let's Stay Together.”  Blending disco, house and funk rhythms with his trademark dusty basslines, dreamy 70s keys, the experimental-yet-still-a-dancefloor-heater of a track bridges the gap between his popular LUXXURY edit series and his original songs.

Lets Stay Together

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.

Just Like it Was Before

Just Like It Was Before

"Midnight Special" is a seamless blend of disco and funk beats and sounds with the aesthetics of lo-fi hip hop. Starting with one of the slinkiest basslines ever recorded, layers of lo-fi synths weave in and out, sustaining and pushing the groove forward. A perfect track for a midnight drive to the desert, an afternoon dip in the pool or a late night on the couch zoning out.

moody disco vol. 2

Midnight Special

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

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.

Alright

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.

Blake Robin aka LUXXURY aka Baron von Luxxury has been making waves in the DJ/producer disco community over the past two years with his controversial edits. He was personally selected by Duran Duran's bassist and co-founder John Taylor to cover "Planet Earth". His "Hotel California" edit was a runaway smash, instantly attracting nearly 300,000+ Soundcloud listens and a great deal of press including a front page piece with the Wall Street Journal. “Hotel California” was later taken down everywhere due to a major internet kerfuffle, which served only to boost Luxxury's profile and add to his mystique. He received immediate support from Greg Wilson, Psychemagik, Ursula 1000, Junior Sanchez, Goldroom and hundreds more.

Today, LUXXURY shares his new single “Take It Slow” which is available now and will be released as part of the Hold On / Take It Slow single package on March 4 via Deep&Disco. The new songs are heavily steeped in classic West Coast sunshine and vintage disco vibes. Along with keyboardist/collaborator Billy Caruso (Laco$te, Corridor) the new Luxxury sound doubles down on '78 California: all shimmering Rhodes, dusty anti-EDM disco beats and funky bass lines peppered with blue eyed falsetto vocals provided by Robin himself.

Feel The Night (Original Mix)

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.

I Need You (Original Mix)

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.

After delivering one of the stand out Indie Dance tracks of the year so far, Kraak & Smaak and Luxxury are back on Future Disco with a selection of stellar remixes for their single 'Keep It Together'.

PREMIERE: Kraak & Smaak - Keep It Together (feat. LUXXURY)(Dr Packer's Extended Disco Edit)

LUXXURY's 'i wanna be EVERYTHING' is L.A. based disco aficionado Blake Robin's most unabashed love letter yet to 70s dancefloor culture. With a soaring falsetto chorus that audaciously recalls the sexual hysteria of peak time Studio 54 divas like Loleatta Holloway, Chaka Khan and all four Gibb brothers rolled into one, it’s definitely a cocktail for adults only. But it's not just about sweat and sex as much as its a desperate plea to be heard, understood and loved in an era when distractions are everywhere. "I wanna be EVERYTHING" is the battle cry of the unappreciated, from the spouse suffering through years of marital silence to the Tinder date whose match spends the night mindlessly scrolling their social feeds. “Hey, *I* wanna be what you need!"

The song has long been the big closing number at LUXXURY's shows, both as a four piece live band opening for Giorgio Moroder, Escort and on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly; as well as at his DJ/live hybrid performances at SF's Outside Lands, Festival No.6 in Wales and dozens more from London to Mexico City. Longtime collaborator Billy Caruso cowrote the song and contributes his trademark melodic Rhodes playing, while Fitz and the Tantrums' bassist Joe Karnes once again takes a Robin bassline and re-interprets it with added muscle, his deft touch adding delicately nuanced semiquavers to the song's thumping heartbeat. 'The song was initially written three years ago but it's taken ages to get it right' says Robin. 'Once I replaced my bass take with Joe's, the song sprang to life. That was the special sauce it needed to properly pop out of the speakers.'

LUXXURY's previous single 'Be Good 2 Me' was featured in the new XBOX game Forza Horizon 4; a series of collaborative singles and a full length album are in the works for 2019.

ABOUT LUXXURY:

LUXXURY 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.

LUXXURY & Scavenger Hunt - Another Lifetime (Future Disco Slow Down 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

🥰🍌🌹LA disco maven LUXXURY (Blake Robin)'s first original song since lockdown 'Don't Give Up (I Believe in You)' is a fresh, funk-infused fusion of 'Forget Me Nots'-style Rhodes, infectious bass, dusty lo-fi beats and a simple, uplifting mantra-like vocal delivered by Robin in his gorgeous falsetto. Striking an optimistic note for the new year, LUXXURY says: 'I've been home for nine months and like all of us it's been a rollercoaster of emotions. This is the first new song I’ve finished in over a year, and the lyrics just poured out of me when I started recording: I truly surprised myself with my own optimism! I feel like this song is a gimmer of hope near the end of a dark period.'

When 2020’s lockdown required LA-based disco king LUXXURY to put his legendary all-stems live remix DJ set on hold, he doubled down on production, with nearly a dozen remixes and collabs and five original singles hitting official Spotify playlists like Crate Diggers and Serotonin; features on KCRW and even a spot on Magnetic Magazine’s top 25 disco songs of 2020. In addition he put out an official Splice pack, a Toolroom Academy Masterclass and 4 sold out 12” vinyl releases AND found the time to go viral on TikTok, garnering 175k followers in just a few months on the platform. With another XBOX placement in the works 2021 is shaping up to be even better with more dusty disco releases on the way and, with any luck LUXXURY will be back DJing from Tulum to Delhi again.
