Clare’s musicality developed from an early age finding inspiration from an incredibly musical family and touring with various classical orchestras. Her passion for house music was introduced by older siblings and she began to DJ at the age of 18 when she invested in her first set of 1210s which she still uses today. The journey had begun and has been highlighted by; #1 overall on Traxsource, presenting the Let There Be House radio show with iTunes downloads 60,000/month and Soundcloud 6000/ listens month, becoming signed to Defected and Dopewax Records, speaking on the expert DJ panel at the Brighton Music Conference alongside Mr C and Jef B and being featured in the book ‘Lady of The House alongside Maya Jane Coles & Candi Staton.

The ever shape shifting, critically hailed Hercules & Love Affair return with brand new album In Amber, to be released on 17th June 2022 via Skint/BMG.

“Across this record, there are emotional fields I hadn’t ventured into previously with Hercules & Love Affair,” says Butler. “Destruction, rage, loss, but also redemption and journeying towards empowerment are all touchstones on the album. It has taken years to make, but I am happy to put it forward now, at a moment in time where we have all been confronted with such heightened feelings collectively and on an unprecedented scale”.

Reuniting with ANOHNI for the first time since her stellar turn on the eponymous debut in 2008 (which undeniably produced one of the most beloved dance tunes of the oughts “Blind”) proved key to this process. Both share a love and deep respect for music of a more aggressive bent, zig zagging from grindcore like Godflesh and Bolt Thrower, via electronic avant-garde like Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire to female fronted punk and metal like Sacrilege, Fear of God and Diamanda Galas.  On the other end of the spectrum, they have an equally intense appreciation for darker ethereal acts such as This Mortal Coil and Dead Can Dance. In Amber reflects this wide swathe of emotion and sound.

In August 2013 Greg Produced his first two edits under the name 'Dr Packer'  which has caught the attention of labels such as 'Defected / Glitterbox , Z Records , Disco Dat , Hot Digits , Masterworks Music & Midnight Riot' resulting in a number one chart position for every EP release so far on the 'Juno Download sales chart'
