CHRIS WALKER VS. BARON VON LUXXURY: REMIXING DUFF AND BLOWING UP

Son of a bitch.

I went to San Francisco to catch DJ crew The Workout (Baron Von Luxxury, Johnatron (who has a sick t-shirt collection), and Pozibelle) do their thing at Duplex a month or so ago. During his set Baron Von Luxxury played a remix of Hilary Duff’s “Stranger”, which he made, and I pretty much begged him for it. I just think it’s sick how he took something so pop and made it edgy. He told me not to post it, just in case it got picked up as the “official” remix, so I’ve been sitting on it for a while. Then, today I found out it’s already up at Big Stereo and Palms Out Sounds. So, fuck it, here it is in all its awesomeness:

In other BvL news…

My friend, your friend, Baron Von Luxxury is blowing up. And it’s about time. Not only did his song “Drunk” end up in a couple Pontiac commercials (including the cross-promotional one for Transformers and Maxim’s Hot 100 I posted a while ago), he also got a big write up in Billboard Magazine, which you can read here:

I love a well-deserved, hard-earned, continuing success story. You can also vote for Baron on URB Next 1000. As he says, more stars equals better.
