Luxxury (birth name Blake Robin),[1] formerly known as Baron von Luxxury ,[2] is an American producer, songwriter, DJ and artist. His first songs included "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 Frida 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[3] for whom he has cowritten songs for artists including Vanessa Daou and Little Boots, as well as the song "If That's Love" (co-written with Jesse Owen Astin and Bonnie McKee), which was featured on the CSI: Miami episode, "Show Stopper".[4] He was also a co-founder of the now defunct MP3 blog Disco Workout. Luxxury's 2012 full-length album "The Last Seduction"[5] was released on Manimal Vinyl[6][7] and featured songs about his friends[8] Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake.[9] The album received strong[10] reviews[11] and made it to several "best of 2012"[12] lists,[13] including that of Duran Duran's John Taylor.[14] In 2013 he began releasing an series of unofficial remixes called "LUXXURY Edits" using "(mostly) only original multitrack stems"[15] for a number of famous songs including Eagles' "Hotel California",[16] 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, Slow Knights and others. A new as-yet untitled album of originals 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.[17]
