Sunny Day Sets Fire - "Brainless (Baron Von Luxxury Remix)" (February 2008)
"Syncopated moments of silence can still be golden, and San FranDisco newcomer Baron Von Luxxury's suave take on "Brainless" is proof enough. A buzzing bass lulls you into an understated frenzy, and you keep expecting the interplay between beats to spiral out of control, but BVL keeps his cool, and you wouldn't have it any other way." - CMJ

Glass Candy - "I Always Say Yes (Baron von Luxxury Remix Parts II + III)" (January 2008)
"Best Glass Candy remix I've heard yet. Wow. Big thumbs up to Baron von Luxxury for putting this one together. Here's the story: Von Luxxury, Johnny Jewel, and Ida spent nine months working on this remix! Johnny and von Luxxury were quite the collaborative team as they kept bouncing ideas off of each other, passing around edits, and critiquing each incarnation of the edit. The final cut wound up being nineteen minutes long, believe it or not (hence the Parts II & III thing)! The von Luxxury remix is dark and ambient like Glass Candy songs ought to be, bouncy and post-punk-infused, but with just enough disco gloss and atmospheric shimmers to bump it up to moody dance floor fodder (if also very smart and expertly arranged). It rocks, rocks!" - Bibabidi

Hilary Duff: "Stranger (BvL's Eyes of Laura Mars Remix)" (June 2007)
"Anyone who could make Hillary Duff's puffy pop songs sound like edgy, lusty, club music must know how to mix a track. The San Francisco singer/songwriter/DJ, Baron Von Luxxury, creates lethally addictive electro-rock songs that sound like a retrofit of Devo combined with the modern, pulsing beats of Daft Punk. Relying mostly on synth and bass guitar, Baron manages to splash a dance party into every note drawing inspiration from glam rock, disco, and pop. Luxxury's mash-ups of Scissors for Lefty and Dirty Sanchez's tracks show notable creativity and showcase his unique ability to find the gritty core of a song and shock it into throbbing, yet controlled euphoria" - URB

Luxxury: "Drunk (BvL's Lovesick Vocoders at Night Remix)" (May 2007)
"Luxxury is another gem out of Frisco….If you're not familiar with them, you've encountered them at the perfect time b/c they've commissioned quite a list of up-and-coming producers to remix their "Rock and Roll is Evil" album. The result is a whole lotta dance-rock-disco-electro goodness. Luxxury has actually adapted their live show to play the remixed versions of some of the songs. I picked out my favorite little morsel of the bunch. awwww, is it too hard for you? I thought you told me that you liked it hard..." - Miss Toats @ Big Stereo/IHEARTCOMIX
