Disco is definitely not dead. In fact, the resurgence of nu disco with bands like Tuxedo, Escort, Chromeo, and Miami Horror are only the newest chart-topping tips of a much larger phenomenon of Giorgio Moroder and Nile Rodgers-inspired style of slick synth-funk. But Tuesday night’s Luxxury (aka Blake Robin) show at the Moroccan Lounge cemented his place in the pantheon of great disco funk masters with his first live LA show in over two years, along with openers Limón Limón, Inspired & The Sleep, and Alex Siegel. It was large, it was in charge and it was rocksteady. This show was the only scheduled live appearance of Luxxury in Los Angeles, but we’re anxiously awaiting more from this nu disco impresario. Check out my full review of the show here.
