Location: San Francisco, CA

Bio: Baron von Luxxury wears many hats. Like fellow multiplatform multitaskers James Murphy (DFA/LCD Soundsystem) and, hell, Timbaland, he's a songwriter, performer, and producer, not to ... (more) mention a DJ and label owner. As singer/producer/songwriter for San Francisco's
electropop/indie darlings Luxxury, he concocts shiny, sexy sonic cocktails combining the modern electro sounds of MSTRKRFT and Daft Punk with the classic, quirky dance/pop/rock sounds of New Order, ELO and Devo. In his DJ guise, BvL has DJ'd at some of the finest indie electro venues from SF to NYC, and is a member of The Workout, a DJ/production team that runs a monthly residency in San Francisco and a daily updated MP3 blog at www.discoworkout.com.

What's next for Baron von Luxxury? Having just signed a songwriting and co-publishing deal with Razor and Tie, he is currently writing songs for some major international artists, all the while continuing to work on remixes, Djing, signing new artists to his label, and working on his debut solo album (tentatively titled "Baron von
Luxxury is My Fake Name.") Nobody ever said being a Russian disco hustler was easy.
