Loud Luxury, the LA-based Canadian production and DJ duo of Andrew Fedyk and Joe Depace, is enjoying top 20 status this week with a track they released a year ago through Armin van Buuren’s record label, Armada Music (Sony).


“Body,” featuring vocalist Brando, debuted on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart at 49 and climbed into the top 20, selling a bundle and garnering massive streams. With Sony behind it now, the single is exploding at radio and is one of only two CanCon songs on the Canadian Hot 100, the other being Drake at No. 1 with “God’s Plan.”

Here’s what Loud Luxury has to say about their single: “‘Body’ is one of our favourite songs we’ve ever written. For us, it represents mixing the R&B and hip-hop that we listened to growing up in Toronto with a classic Loud Luxury Sound. We made it just for the late-night drives and getting into trouble in the city.”

On tour in the US now, the duo appears at Vancouver’s Celebrities Nightclub on April 28 and Whistler’s Maxx Fish the night following.

On March 30, Loud Luxury released a new song, “Sex Like Me” featuring Dyson.

Aaron Dessner Sets the Record Straight on Gracie Abrams’ ‘Death Wish’: It’s ‘Definitely Not’ About Taylor Swift

The producer also shared how he ended up performing with Noah Kahan over the weekend.

Aaron Dessner and Gracie Abrams have now made three albums together, with the pop star’s third studio effort, Daughter From Hell, arriving July 17. But one song in particular has stirred up a few misconceptions, and in a recent conversation with Billboard, the producer cleared them up.

Hopping on a Zoom call on Tuesday (July 21) — just days after joining Noah Kahan on stage in New York to perform one of The Great Divide songs he produced, a cameo that severe weather almost ruined — Dessner addressed confusion over the production and subject of “Death Wish,” one of the most talked-about tracks on Daughter From Hell. Some listeners have expressed surprise that the spritely album version sounds so different from the somber live piano version Abrams initially recorded and released amid her Secret of Us Tour, questioning why the duo would “change” the “original.” (Spoiler alert: They didn’t.)
