"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.

The Thing

Nils Penner - The Thing

Letting Go

Within Me

DFA / Visionquest duo Benoit & Sergio return mid October with some fresh and typically unique new material via Matt Tolfrey’s Leftroom Limited imprint.

French artist Benoit & stateside producer Sergio’s collaborative career took a huge leap in 2010 with the release of their anthemic ‘Walk & Talk’ on the Visionquest imprint. Since then the duo have gone on to release via James Murphy’s DFA, Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations, L.A imprint Culprit and now, adding another leading imprint to their affiliations, Matt Tolfrey’s Leftroom.

As always from Benoit & Sergio this new single sees the duo offer up something refreshing, unique and undeniably catchy. Across ‘House With 500 Rooms’ subtly progressing, near ten minute duration, the pair scatter an array on deft production techniques throughout with echoing vocal swells, multilayered bass and piano hooks and soaring synth leads running alongside their signature memorable vocal styling’s.

The latter half of the package sees the duo provide a ‘Dub’ take on the original cut solely focusing on the its smooth and hypnotic vibe, while the ‘Radio Edit’ trims things back to the core of the opening composition to shape up the package.

Benoit & Sergio’s ‘House With 500 Rooms’ is out on Leftroom Limited 16th October 2015.

Tracklist:
1. House With 500 Rooms
2. House With 500 Rooms (Dub)
3. House With 500 Rooms (Radio Edit)

House With 500 Rooms

Across the street from where Trouw used to be, lies a nice little hotel. It was in the basement of this hotel, where a curious meeting happened. Something so coincidental and so unassumingly trivial, that even the slightest event of randomness could have prevented this from ever happening, yet it did happen and here we are. 
This curious meeting was the result of an open studio door of Nachtbraker, and the hint of disco coming out the door, where Dr. San Proper just happened to pass by in search of whatever it is he searches for at 10 am on a Tuesday. The good doctor decided to walk in, greeted Nachtbraker in his ordinary weird way and casually grabbed a microphone. Nachtbraker pressed record, Dr. Proper got his inner Mick Jagger on, and behold: Misses, madame, mademoiselle was born: an up-tempo disco groove with Nachtbraker’s touch of loose arrangement, and San Proper’s amazing vocals. We asked our good friends and great producer duo Session Victim to re-interpret M.m.m. and they gave it a great dreamy-but-groovy twist, adding pads and shufﬂing hi-hats. 
We had already heard Nachtbraker working on a deep house – meets – afro track a while back and he made 2 versions of this track to complement the EP. Hamdi is probably one of the most euphoric tracks in his discography to date, and it’s one you’re likely to hear a lot in the coming time. With the use of chopped vocals (we’ll let you ﬁgure out the source material) and a teasing build up, the track breaks down into a lovely chant, adding energy with every bar without ever coming close to being tacky or overproduced. The alternate version is an excursion into 808 booty territory, using different chops, alienating loops and yes, even a siren.
