LUXXURY (Kitsuné, Future Disco, Boogie Angst, Eskimo) makes dance music for adults. Raw, funky bass-lines plucked with grown- man finesse. A mastery of 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 and guitar jabs while the steady pulse and astral effects are beamed in from a cybernetic future Los Angeles.
Baron von Luxxury, lead singer and songwriter for San Francisco’s electro-rock indie darlings Luxxury, is also a DJ and a remix producer.
His band Luxxury is a shiny, sexy sonic cocktail combining bits of New Order, David Bowie, ELO and Devo with the modern electro sounds of Daft Punk, The Presets and LCD Soundsystem. Luxxury's debut album "Rock and Roll is Evil" employs 1980's influenced Italo-disco beats, synths, heroic guitars and sardonic lyrics to chronicle the rise and fall of legendary 70's Sunset Strip groupie Sable Starr. The album, recorded and mixed in Berlin, Los Angeles, Brooklyn and San Francisco, features an original cover by internationally renowned artist Jeremy Blake (Beck's "Sea Change"). Released in late 2006 on von Luxxury’s own Nolita label, it was quickly hailed as a future-retro classic:
"Unbelievably addictive…14 stunning electronica anthems of pure balls out disco fury…Studio 54 never had music this good…a dazzling album!"
- Subba Cultcha, London
"Irresistible pop music on crack, an insistent beat that simply screams "dance, motherfucker!", like plush velvet on a comfy chaise lounge. This is filthy music, and it revels in depravity. Throb baby, throb!"
-Aiding and Abetting
"Four and 1/2 stars. One of the finds of the year."
- Synthpop.net
Luxxury has been a favorite on radio, blogs and with music supervisors. The song “Drunk” was licensed for a Pontiac commercial, while "Sweet and Vicious", "Drunk", and "Sable Starr" have been heard on Live 105, XFM, Virgin Radio London and KROQ. Luxxury’s new album "Sweet and Vicious: The remixes" features 11 exclusive remixes of these songs by an internation roster of up and coming producers from the UK to France, and from Brooklyn to Hollywood (se.
