Luxxury
Played by: Juno Recommends Disco
Review: Los Angeles-based producer LUXXURY returns with a new full-length album. Alright sees the talented producer (real name Blake Robin) experimenting with funk, synthpop and instrumentals across 11 songs which "are are all infectiously rhythmically-oriented while exploring new disco directions". Highlights include the neon-lit seduction of opening cut "What Are We Gonna Do?", the low slung and hypnotic dancefloor heater "Somebody Tonight", as well as the late-night boogie-down vibe of "Midnight Special" and the sunny and uplifting, open-air feels of "Set Me Free" (Song for a Person Walking Away) that's just perfect for this summer season.

Review: US producer Blake Robin AKA LUXXURY first emerged with a string of "unofficial remixes" of everyone from Duran Duran to Kiss back in the early 2010s. But original productions soon followed on the re-edits' heels, and so here we are nearly a full decade later with his latest outing 'Alright', a shimmery, shiny, female-vocalled nu-disco workout that should appeal to fans of artists such as Escort and Sare Havlicek. The track's supplied in five mixes, but as they're all fairly self-explanatory takes from Robin himself (Dub, Ambient, Instrumental, etc) there's not really much more to tell you, is there?

Review: Los Angeles' LUXXURY has long been a masterful creator of the kind of warming, sun-splashed fusions of disco, boogie, yacht-rock and synth-pop that sound like they were tailor-made for soundtracking long drives down the Pacific Highway at dusk. That vibe once again comes to the fore on his glossy, impeccably produced new album, Ambiance, which offers a largely vocal-free, DJ-friendly version of the simultaneously released, radio-friendly 'Alright'. What we get is pretty much the same tracks as that set, expanded to include takes on previous singles and unheard workouts. There's much more reliance on groove and instrumentation, allowing us to marvel at his mid-80s style FM synths, Hall & Oates-esque electric piano motifs, rubbery bass guitars, colourful electronic flourishes and undeniably dancefloor-ready drums. Retro-futurist nu-disco at its finest!

Review: In keeping with the approach of its predecessors, the fourth annual Boogie Angst compilation brings together "cool cuts" from the past year and a smattering of exclusives and previously unreleased gems. As you'd expect from a label helmed by Kraak & Smaak, it's a genuinely joyous and celebratory affair, packed to the rafters with party-starting workouts. For proof, check the revivalist disco-boogie cheeriness of Titeknots' 'Feels Good 2 Me', the future soul shuffle of 'Treat U Good' by Moods, Noah Slee, Lyriya & Meron, the summery electrofunk sunshine that is Art of Tones' kaleidoscopic rework of LUXXURY's 'Just Like It Was Before', the Rhodes-laden warmth of Kraak & Smaak's nostalgic 'All I Need' and the spiritually-enriching Latin deep house shuffle of Osunlade's Yoruba Soul rework of his Casbah 73 collaboration, 'Let's Invade The Amazon'.

Review: It's been over 15 years since this writer was one of 100 or so who gathered in a sweaty, low-raftered Amsterdam basement to witness the live debut of Dutch funk and disco hopefuls Kraak & Smaak. Since then, the young pretenders have gone on to become true elder statesmen of the scene - which is another way of saying that you just KNOW the quality bar on this latest collection of contemporary disco, funk and boogie grooves is going to be set high. There's no room here to go into all 24 tracks one-by-one, but with contributions from the likes of Ben Gomori, Flevans and Hotmood alongside a host of more up-and-coming names, suffice to say lovers of the aforementioned styles will not be in the least bit disappointed.

Review: When it comes to crafting tasty, radio-friendly disco-pop, Luxxury is a true master. His productions bristle with authentic, disco-era instrumentation, slick vocals, and the kind of hooks that will worm their way into your subconscious and remain there for months afterwards. "Feel The Night", the Los Angeles-based producer's first single of 2017, ticks all of these boxes. It boasts a strong, sing-along chorus, sharp string stabs, and some killer instrumentation from his regular backing band (think rubbery electric bass, hustling Clavinet lines, rich synth chords, and so on). It would have been nice to see the original version accompanied by some tasty, club-friendly dubs and remixes, but they may follow at a later date.

Review: Sultry warm disco sessions for the open air this season with this swift four-pack from Paper Disco combi Anoraak & Luxxury. "Fire Inside" swoons a summer disco vibe with Lauren Turk's breathy lead vocals - reminiscent of a certain Linda Clifford circa-79 or pop starlet Kylie (circa-99) - while look to Anoraak original "Up To You" for a percussive, cosmic and instrumental burner. Staccato guitars and drum machine sequences collide with the odd space pong and warehouse sized vocal processing in The Emperor Machine's remix, supported by a straight up free and easy 'Fire Side" instrumental with subtle chorus line. Hot hot hot.

Review: Following the recent release of Luxxury's double A-side "Hold On"/"Take It Slow", which featured reworks from J Kriv and Crackazat, Deep & Disco presents four more remixes. Greg Wilson delivers two collaborative versions; an acid-flecked deep house-meets-disco tweak of "Hold On", and a hazy, dubby, stripped-back interpretation of "Take It Slow". Arguably the most impressive remix on the package, though, comes from Aficionado Recordings and Music For Dreams artist Vision of Panaorama, whose version of "Take It Slow" is little less than a sparkling, slow-burning Balearic delight. While it retains some elements from the original - notably the bass, guitars and live drums - the additional synths and electronics are little less than sublime.

Review: Los Angeles-based producer Blake Robin aka LUXXURY is back with "I Need Somebody", a rework of his previous single "Somebody Tonight" that's also included on this EP. Proper late night mood music if we've ever heard it, this deep disco house number features Robin's yearning vocals. The long hot summer nights continue with the equally sensual "Let's Stay Together" with its neon-lit synths and funky guitar licks underpinned by crisp beats, and ending with the low-slung heater "Midnight Special". "Buy it or risk being a laughingstock at the pool this summer" as the label put it best themselves.

Review: Album number three from Luxxury here. But where their 2006 debut was an electro/indie-dance affair and 2014's 'Luxxury Edits' compiled a load of the hazy, dropped-tempo re-edits they're best known for, 'It's Not Funny' finds them turning in 10 tracks that operate in Nang-esque nu-disco territory... complete with all the glistening 80s pop sheen, analogue synth sounds and yacht rock-ish overtones that description implies! There's nothing especially innovative or ground-breaking going on but fans of the style will find much to enjoy here (even if the falsetto vox can get a little relentless), with standouts including the dreamy, mid-paced 'Hold On' and Scissor Sisters-esque closer 'I Wanna Be Everything'.

Kraak & Smaak feat Luxxury
Review: Given their respective profiles and reputations, you'd expect there to be plenty of takers for this studio hook-up between funk-fuelled Dutch veterans Kraak and Smaak and glossy LA nu-disco sort Luxxury. The original version - included at the end of the EP - feels like a more underground take on the floor-friendly, classic disco-pop sound cultivated by Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams on "Get Lucky". Really, though, it's the remixes that take top billing, with fast-rising Aussie Dr Packer providing the headline rework. His take is chunkier and funkier, making much more use of delay effects, mind-altering cowbells and crunchy Clavinet lines. It sounds like a summer anthem in waiting. Elsewhere, there's a deep French Touch style revision from Bas Roos and a breezier, suitably swirling Balearic nu-disco interpretation by Vhyce.

Review: York might not be the disco capital of the world, but the way the gang at Alpaca Edits carry on it might just as well be! They've been trotting out world class soul, disco and funk edits for a good while now, and here they deliver the second instalment of their compilation in aid of testicular cancer support. There are 15 quality scalpel jobs this time around, with highlights including the rumbling, evening poolside boogie of "I Need A Drink" by Hotmood, the punchy electro-disco of "Head Lights' by Stephen Richards and the white-hot 70s disco rock of "I'm A Man" Pontchartrain.
