Selector of the week: LUXXURY
LUXXURY makes dance music for adults: raw, funky bass-lines – plucked with grown-man finesse and 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 when he isn’t making songs featured on film, TV and gaming (most famously in XBOX’s Forza Horizon 4 and Horizon 5), on the road opening for Giorgio Moroder; leading his live band on late-night TV; remixing live at DJ sets in Mexico City, New York and Berlin; or dissecting pop songs and talking musicology with Rolling Stone, German TV, podcasts and his own viral TikTok videos.
As a DJ seeding his Dublab radio show/Spotify playlist Good Morning, Disco! with gems that span four decades of groove-first music. LUXXURY’s lifelong love for the craft of disco has seen him release songs with taste-making dance imprints including Boogie Angst, Kitsuné, Future Disco and Eskimo. Last Call with Carson Daly audiences were treated to luxe live renditions of “Take It Slow” and “Hold On.” The muscular bass-riff driven Be Good 2 Me, a modern update on that 1979 moment when disco went rock ‘n’ roll, was included in Forza Horizon 4 for XBOX.
