For the third Monday in May: ► Resurgent U.K. pop singer Daniel Bedingfield (remember "Gotta Get Thru This" from 2002?), on the heels of his first release since 2004, plays the Hotel Cafe tonight as part of the SuperSoul Mondays 3-Year Anniversary Party, along with Jason Joseph & the Spectacular and more. Bedingfield's new EP "Stop the Traffik — Secret Fear" is available for free download at his website. ► Residencies at the Eastside clubs are going great guns: At the Bootleg Bar, Harriet is joined by the Soft White Sixties, [...]
On July 10 it be the five years since my friend Theresa's suicide. My new album The Last Seduction (Manimal Vinyl) is about her and her boyfriend Jeremy, who took his life one week later. They were like an older sister and brother to me, and I owe my creative life and confidence (such as it is) to them. We met in DC in the mid 902s when I got my first job out of school. Theresa had written one of the first CD-ROMs for girls and hired her friend, the legendary Ian Svenonius (Nation of [...]
Nothing mundane about this Monday: ► If this isn't the most helter-skelter It's a School Night ever, you can slap my hand with a ruler. On the bill (chronologically) for the RSVP-only night at Bardot are Malibu-bred beach-vibe duo Brandon & Leah ; followed by Bobby Woods' horn- and string-laden Les Deux Love Orchestra featuring special guest Robert Lamm of Chicago (yes, that Chicago ); followed by young folk songstress Alaska Reid [pictured]; followed by prickly indie-rockers the Henry Clay People . Oh, and there's a Penguin [...]

SXSW has it all in March, namely tons of music from artists you'll be hearing about more in the coming months. In a small series preluding the music session that goes from March 13-18, we'll be focusing in on some of the collective efforts of labels and PR companies collecting in Austin. We wish we could cover every group that is playing down there, but as Bandcamp states, there are over 400 artists going to be there. If you have a label or PR company, big or small, that you want featured, email us with your lineup card. [...]
Enquanto aguardamos ansiosamente por material novo da Little Boots , acaba de ser lançado na rede uma parceria da cantora com o produtor Baron Von Luxxury , de Los Angeles. A canção é "That Disco Beat", produzida com a cantora em mente e que faria parte do seu primeiro disco, mas acabou sendo engavetada quando seus produtores decidiram empurrá-la para um som mais comercial (leia-se RedOne , etc). A canção, entretanto, foi reformulada e agora conta com os vocais do próprio Baron, soando mais como um dueto e fazendo parte da tracklist do seu primeiro disco, [...]
Little Boots blew minds and dance floors a couple of years ago and has been kind of mum as of late. A track off of her first album has surfaced that was scrapped because it didn't make the final cut. It's a burner that includes LA kid, Baron Von Luxxury. Little Boots + Baron Von Luxxury - That Disco Beat [mp3]

Blake Robin A.K.A. Baron Von Luxxury has been creeping around, injecting classic sounding tracks and reMixes into out consciousness for a while now and this week saw the release of his new album, 'The Last Seduction'. Be warned, it's ElectroPop gold! The album seems like, I don't mind saying, the perfect meeting of Nu-Disco and '80's SynthPop, from the opening track, the Moroder stylings of 'The Lovely Theresa', it's all cosmic Disco grooves and big '80's choruses. there is something so addictive in the Baron's mastery of both Funky dancefloor grooves and what can [...]
Baron Von Luxxury feat. Little Boots : That Disco Beat - MP3 from Luxxury 's debut LP The Last Seduction . MP3
Baron Von Luxxury is Robin Blake, a DJ/Producer from Los Angeles. However, I mainly know him for being part of the Disco Workout blog. Not so along he released his album " The Last Seduction ", it's totally a massive ode to the excess of 802s synthpop. At it's best, it has some really catchy ( and a little bit lyrically uneasy ) tracks like the Keenhouse co-produced " Terry Richardson ", the Little Boots collab " That Disco Beat " and James Bond-esque instrumental " Glass Candy ". At it's [...]
Though the vibe nostalgically recalls these bygone eras, the song still manages to feel very current, and practically demands that listeners make a trip to the dance floor. Baron Von Luxxury, known to friends as Blake Robin, is a man of many talents. He wears the hats of producer, songwriter, blogger, DJ, vocalist and, having recently signed with Manimal Vinyl, the artist can now add another creative endeavor to his resume: a debut album, out 14 February, entitled The Last Seduction. Renowned for his funky electro-disco remixes of songs by artists like Hilary Duff and Dirty Sanchez, Baron Von [...]
Valentine's 2012 Mixtape by LARECORDMIXTAPES
Thursday's toil and trouble: ► L.A. four-piece Vintage Trouble spent much of 2011 thrilling audiences in the U.K., where their retro rock 'n' soul transported Jools Holland fans back to the '50s and '60s , they opened for Bon Jovi and they earned reviews comparing singer Ty Taylor to a young James Brown. They bring their hip-shaking fury back home tonight, playing a sold-out show at the Troubadour. ► Summer Darling heads up a diverse bill at the Echo that includes Birds & Batteries , the Hunting Accident [...]
Disco is not dead, as Blake Robin, aka Baron von Luxxury , reminds us his shimmering and witty synth-pop. As the newest addition to the Manimal Vinyl family, (a label that is home to bands with a darker edge — Warpaint, Sister Crayon, Bat For Lashes), Robin's persona as Baron von Luxxury blissfully bumps into different territory. A songwriter-for-hire by day who has written hits for artists like Little Boots, but a colorful musician by night who first garnered attention for his kaleidoscopic remixes for Glass Candy, HEALTH and Marianne Faithful, Robin is only a month and [...]
Ah...I always appreciate an album cover with some nudity displayed. Electro-disco producer Baron Von Luxxury will release The Last Seduction on February 14th through the Manimal Vinyl imprint (Warpaint, Bat For Lashes, Chains of Love, Sister Crayon).
