Blake Robin aka LUXXURY aka Baron von Luxxury has been making waves in the DJ/producer disco community over the past two years. Cutting his teeth with his controversial Luxxury edits (as spun by DJ Harvey, Greg Wilson etc), he will release a new, original Hold On / Take It Slow single package on March 4 via Deep&Disco (JKriv of Escort's label).
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. We previously shared "Take It Slow" and today the "Hold On" (Crackazat Remix) drops with Impose Magazine. We encourage you to post & share!
Luxxury 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 by 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. Fans in Los Angeles will have a chance to see Luxxury's live band debut on 2/24 opening for NYC's Escort at Teragram Ballroom.
