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.

Oscar Voting, Nominations Announcement Delayed Again Due to L.A. Wildfires

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has announced updates to its 2025 Oscars key dates and schedule of events due to the impact of the Los Angeles-area fires. The Oscar telecast is still set for March 2, but the nominations announcement is being delayed for the second time to Jan. 23 — and will now be held virtually. The Oscars nominees luncheon, always an A-list event, will not be held this year.

“We are all devastated by the impact of the fires and the profound losses experienced by so many in our community,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy president Janet Yang said in a joint statement. “The Academy has always been a unifying force within the film industry, and we are committed to standing together in the face of hardship.
