After releases by DoctorSoul, Dave Mathmos, Vibes4YourSoul, Dj Supermarkt, Jack Tennis, Les Inferno we now give space to one of the early creators of the Edit-genre: LUXXURY from L.A.!

Side A: is a slice of funky, dubbed/spaced out midtempo Disco, custom made for the sophisticated dancefloor
Side B: is a slow-jam, and a dubbed, balearic romantic take on an AOR classic hit

LUXXURY makes dance music for adults. Raw, funky bass-lines plucked with grown-man finesse. A mastery of keyboard and synth 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—even 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, of course. That is, when he isn't on the road opening for Giorgio Moroder or the Juan MacLean; leading his dapper band on late-night TV; remixing live at DJ sets in Mexico City, New York and Berlin; making viral TikTok “Inside the Song” videos, or seeding his Dublab radio show/Spotify playlist Good Morning, Disco! with gems that span four decades of groove-first music. In fact, you might've first felt his deft touch via the controversial LUXXURY Edits—where he uses the multi-tracks (stems) of classic hits to create dubby slow-disco versions—but his original music is no less arresting.

TSTD EDITS 06 - LUXXURY - Hello My Love (Lim. 10 Inch, Side A)

A modern take on a classic with a roll dropped on top for your chill out by Mr. Owl and Roni Zagoria aka Asteroid Love Cult

Crystal Raindrops (Roni and The Owl aka Asteroid Love Cult)

What It Is (Jenny and the Owl)

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.
