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.

New & Upcoming Album Releases: David Vertesi Goes Acoustic, Bryan Adams Hosts a Holiday Jam

This week also features a new country album from Johnny 99, the solo project of John Sponarski, guitarist in City and Colour. Find the full calendar of new releases here.

Album releases are slowing with Thanksgiving in the U.S. and the onset of the holiday season, but there are some notable Canadian releases coming this week. Leading the pack is a new release from David Vertesi, best known as the leader of popular indie rockers Hey Ocean!. The B.C. singer-songwriter launched his solo career in 2010 with Cardiography. He celebrates its 15th anniversary by releasing Cardiography (Acoustic), a drastically stripped-down reimagining of that acclaimed album. It was recorded in a live, minimalist setting with production by longtime collaborator Daniel Klenner (Peach Pit, Dear Rouge, Hey Ocean!).

Here is a live performance video of the acoustic version of album track, “All Night, All Night, All Night," featuring guest vocals by Hannah Georgas. She was also on the original cut.
