luxury elite
Luxury Elite, also simply known as Lux (born August 17, 1988), is an anonymous American musician known for her significant influence in the vaporwave genre. During the 2010s, her lo-fi sound and visual style, along with her relaxed melodies, made her an impactful figure in the "late night lo-fi" subgenre. She also produced music under the aliases 1-800-TONIGHT, night video, television archives, and creative zen.
Lux released her debut album in 2012, and made her first collaboration with a vaporwave artist the same year. She became an established figure following the release of Late Night Delight, her 2013 split album with vaporwave artist Ryan DeRobertis under the alias Saint Pepsi. She also worked on a single with future funk musician Macross 82-99, and participated on many collaborative projects by small record labels. Her music, including tracks such as "S.W.A.K." and "Upscale" from her 2015 album World Class, has been recognized as a tribute to the United States in the 1980s, emphasizing the elite visual and sound presentation. She participated on plunderphonics trio Death's Dynamic Shroud's remix version of I'll Try Living Like This, and continued her career with albums such as Noir (2016) and High Society (2020). Noir was named one of the greatest albums of 2016 by several publications, while High Society was chosen as one of the best releases of 2020 by Bandcamp Daily.
