Tuxedo

Long lost disco version of the classic track "Stay Cool" — finally rescued from the vaults!
Once believed to have been lost forever, this shimmering Billy Noknees Disco Demo emerges from the dust-covered archives like a neon ghost from Studio 54. Originally tracked during the legendary 1975 Atlantic Records demo sessions, the tape was quietly shelved after label execs shrugged and muttered, “nobody’s ready for this groove.” History proved them wrong.

Now, decades later, professionally remastered from the original reels, this rough-and-funky take reveals Noknees at his most experimental — loose basslines, swirling strings, handclaps that slap like chrome, and a vocal so smooth it could ice a cocktail. The world finally gets to hear what they missed. A time capsule. A fever dream. A disco comet blazing across the night.

The groove has returned. Stay cool — or get left behind.

Lyrics:
The funk is here to stay
I’ll toast to that
It’s the Tuxedo way
I’ll toast to that

Party people here with us
I’ll toast to that
Take your cup and raise it up
I’ll toast to that

Dust your shoulders off and let your hair down
We’re gonna celebrate tonight
Everyone
I’ll toast to that

Feels like a holiday
I’ll toast to that
We’ll dance the night away
I’ll toast to that

Party people here with us
I’ll toast to that
Take your cup and raise it up
I’ll toast to that

If you’re rollin’ with the Tuxedo sound
We’re gonna celebrate tonight
Everyone

Move your feet and have a ball
Don’t be holding up the wall like a vegetable
Celebrating ‘til the dawn
I’ve been waiting all week long just to let it go

Welcome to the official Tuxedo Channel. Tuxedo is Grammy nominated renaissance man Mayer Hawthorne (Aquarius) and Grammy nominated producer Jake One (Taurus). They mysteriously showed up on Internet doorsteps in 2013. In between Mayer's solo albums, and Jake's productions for Drake, The Weeknd, J. Cole, etc., Tuxedo released their debut album and quickly became a world of its own.

Lyrics:
Come closer love
Let’s raise our cup and have a toast to us
Tell me what am I supposed to give
Without you how am I supposed to live

As soon as I’m out that door to go to work
That’s when your mind goes to the dark places where monsters lurk
A different time zone
Go to sleep when you’re waking up
Shit I got to call you back the phone’s breaking up

I know it’s hard sometimes
To read between the lines
And recognize those white lies from the truth
I must be out of my mind
To think that I could find
Somebody
Who loves me
The way you do

Come closer love
Let’s raise our cup and have a toast to us
Tell me what am I supposed to give
Without you how am I supposed to live

Darling
Please love
Understand this is what I’m made of
I know it ain’t easy now
But can you please hear me out
There’s nothing I love more
Than you and I sitting by the seashore
So baby just let me do my work again and again and again

I know it’s hard sometimes
To read between the lines
And recognize those white lies from the truth
I must be out of my mind
To think that I could find
Somebody
Who loves me
The way you do

Come closer love
Let’s raise our cup and have a toast to us
Tell me what am I supposed to give
Without you how am I supposed to live

I know I’m working late every night, love
But all that I create is for us
Baby what I do is a 9 to 5
Let me work to stay alive
And I’ll be back soon so get ready lover
A little time for two just let it go
Forget about the times that I wasn’t there
Just let me make it better, love
