Luxxury


Luxxury, formerly known as Baron von Luxxury, is an American producer, songwriter, DJ and artist. His best known songs include "Be Good 2 Me" "Breathe " and "Feel The Night"; earlier songs include "Drunk," which was used in commercials for Pontiac; "Sweet and Vicious," which was used on The Hills; and "I Know There's Something Going On," a cover of a song by Anni-Frid Lyngstad from ABBA. In addition to being the sole songwriter and producer for that band, he is a touring DJ as well as being an in-demand producer, remixer and songwriter formerly under contract with Razor and Tie Music Publishing for whom he has cowritten songs for artists including Vanessa Daou and Little Boots, as well as the song "If That's Love", which was featured on the episode, "Show Stopper |Show Stopper". He was also a co-founder of the now defunct MP3 blog Disco Workout. Luxxury's 2012 full-length album "The Last Seduction" was released on Manimal Vinyl and featured songs about his friends Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake. The album received strong reviews and made it to several "best of 2012" lists, including that of Duran Duran's John Taylor.
In 2013 he began releasing 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 "Girls on Film" and many more. As a result of the attention received he began to get commissioned remix work from artists including Greg Wilson, Melanie Martinez, Fitz and the Tantrums, and others.
A series of original singles moving away from "the synths and Moroder-y stuff from my earlier records" to "1979-style Rhodes piano, funky bass, vintage sounding beats and dreamy floaty vocals: Bee Gees meets Todd Terje" was announced in late 2015; the first single "Take it Slow" premiered on January 19, 2016,
followed by a number of singles in a similarly vintage funk/disco vein. As a DJ, Robin performs a mix of live, on-the-fly remixes and sings his original material, often accompanied by one or more other musicians. Sometimes this includes a full live band, with whom he has performed opening for Giorgio Moroder, Escort and The Juan Maclean, including a performance on Last Call with Carson Daly.
