"It’s Butler’s precision on the boards that’s most impressive here - his polished, spacious touch is pumped with enough groove to win over any dance floor without inhibitions"  DJ Magazine. 8.5 

"John Grant follows in Antony’s footsteps, bringing the melancholy to Hercules and Love Affair’s tough old-school house production Guardian - mention from Alexis Petridis 

"It’s back to 1989 for this amazing Acid House collection featuring vocals by John Grant"  - Daily Star

Heartbreaks and 808s near a perfect balance between chart-ready house and the flouncy electro-pop/ Italo disco image H&LA have nurtured. CLASH  8/10

“Only a fool would dismiss Butler’s expansive vision and flair for daring reinvention.”  Mixmag  8/10

“A set of classy no-frills, no-nonsense house anthems, all vintage 808 drum patterns and bubbling bass squelches, it works a treat.” Q Magazine 

Hercules & Love Affair’s new album ‘The Feast Of The Broken Heart’ (released 26th May / pre-order here georiot.co/3mv7) sees another musical reinvention from ringmaster Andy Butler - delivered by an impeccable new line up.

The ever-revolving collective led house music’s resurgence with club anthem ‘Blind’ in 2008 (Pitchfork’s record of the year), and 2014’s line up is another roll call of exceptionally talented vocalists. Brits nominee John Grant’s ability for translating hardship into elegance is writ large on ‘I Try To Talk To You’ and ‘Liberty’; Rouge Mary, whose deep, spiritual voice is hewn from a gospel education; Belgian singer Gustaph whose counter tenor takes lead on the single ‘Do You Feel The Same?’ and smoky voiced virtuoso Krystle Warren, who was introduced to Butler by Grant, and sings the provocative ‘My Offence’.

Andy Butler comments: “I wanted nasty basslines, stormy, bleary-eyed sounds, fiery, rough, tough and ragged old school house productions that sounded almost techno. I didn’t want polite, I wanted aggressive.”

This aesthetic coupled with tales of emotional triumph makes for something tough yet soulful. Meaningful house music that IS pop music and can speak to the most musically adroit of tastes.

Solid Steel (5th December) It's a huge show this week as we welcome back Diplo to Solid Steel. 10 years ago Diplo released his album Florida on Big Dada and played his first UK gig in an intimate venue at the monthly Solid Steel club night (and twice more that year). He plays somewhat larger venues now, including a residency in Las Vegas and Madison Square Garden on NYE. To celebrate the reissue of F10RIDA, he drops a mix exclusively for Solid Steel which features the new Eprom remix of Big Lost from the album, plus music across the board from Deadboy, Radiohead, Pharcyde, Kaytranada, Heaven 17 and our very own Bonobo.

Based in the States but signed to Night Slugs, Helix makes European music in an American way. Or is that the other way round? 

The US-Euro line is one that's been wheeled out before about Helix - he's even talked about his music in terms of Chicago legend Ron Hardy making grime - but it really is at the heart of what he does. He worships Detroit and Chicago - particularly the quick, raw mixing style of Jeff Mills and Derrick May, which is present in his FACT mix - but draws heavily from grime, to the point where he describes having Flirta D vocal his 'Drum Track' as "a fucking dream come true." And although his music could loosely be described as classic loop techno, it feels more in tune with current European sensibilities - particularly the Club Constructions axis - than most Stateside dance music.

Away from geography, what makes Helix's music work is the way he finds the subtleties in simplicity. Whether laying down loops of drum sounds and clipped chords ('Drum Track'; 'Stacks Riddim') or relentless techno (he described his recent Porsche Trax EP as DJ Vague as inspired by driving "fast in the dark – like hella fast"), he'll find exactly what makes a track work, and focus on it to the point where five channels and a simple 8 or 16-bar arrangement is all it needs. It's honestly uncanny.

The fourth track on Helix's FACT mix is listed as simply "horns & bass". Sometimes that's all you need, and no one proves it quite like this guy.

FACT Mix 474 - Helix (Dec '14)

The new Munk album Chanson 3000 has just been released. 
Music press and blogs are writing euphoric reviews. 
"Brilliant", "A work of absolute beauty" ,"Weird, but beautful electronic pop" are just a few description from the UK press. 

"Deceiver" is the new single. A mellow mid-tempo song - based on a strange, but driving, bass-heavy electronic beat, nasty synthlines and the absolute stunning voice of Lizzie Paige - the young American singer that performs all songs on the new Munk album along with London born vocalist Mona Lazette. 

The new single comes along with a great video by Milan based directors PROJ3CTSTUDIO. And remixes by PURPLE DISCO MACHINE (Exploited), new German producer genius LCAW and a country house version by Mr Munk himself.

Tom Noble is a man of many talents. Depending on when you met him and how, you either know him as a disco wizard, thanks to his productions under his own name, House of Spirits, or Lipton Whitaker; an excellent DJ who digs deep; the man behind Superior Elevation, his label and secondhand vinyl shop; an audiophile from Milwaukee; or all the above.

We recently had the pleasure of recording a show with Tom, which we now share with you today! At 2.5 hours, it's our longest one yet, which we certainly ain't mad about; the set will doubtlessly get you in a good mood or keep you there if you're already in one.

Enjoy!
