"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 Feast Of The Broken Heart

10 The Key

Can you believe it? Fall of 2014 marks the 20TH ANNIVERSARY of YOSHITOSHI, the seminal record label founded by Deep Dish in 1994. To celebrate, we are bringing the classics back, remastered and with new remixes from an amazing group of heavy hitters from all corners of the dance world. Given that Yoshitoshi's roots are ingrained in house music, it's only fitting to start the #YoshiClassics campaign with Eddie Amador's "House Music". A true Yoshitoshi classic released in 1998 that went on to become a global phenomena. The hypnotic rhythm and infectious "Not Everyone Understands House Music" has become the preach anthem for generations of dance music lovers. Uto Karem, Robosonic & Anthony Attalla on Remix duties! More to come! #YoshiClassics

Eddie Amador - House Music (Message Mix)[OUT NOW]

Some tracks come from long studio sessions, others from sudden inspiration - Le Jazz is definitely the latter. On his way to ADE, Jo Paciello found himself sitting near a French DJ who wouldn’t stop talking about jazz - “Le Jazz this, Le Jazz that…" Instead of tuning out, Jo did what any great producer would do: He opened his laptop and started laying down the groove. By the time he landed, the foundation for Le Jazz was set.

With deep roots in the house and disco scene, Naples-born Jo Paciello has always had a knack for blending classic influences with modern club energy. Le Jazz is no exception - swinging rhythms, soulful textures, and a groove that’ll keep you moving.

Now landing on Peppermint Jam, this one is ready to take over dance floors. Le Jazz is here - turn it up!

Teddy Douglas & Luis Radio - The Violin (Basement Boys Club Mix) (1999)

One of the three brand new edits from Dick Johnson's Label Mates Vol. 3.

Label Mates 03 is compiled and mixed by Dick Johnson.

'I've been releasing music on Jesse's labels for over 10 years and it was a real honour to be asked to do this Label Mates mix and have free rein of 200 plus releases over 5 labels. It's not until you're faced with selecting 90 mins of music that you realise what a timeless catalogue of consistently dope releases it is, so many gems! My method was to pick some of my favourites from each label and narrow it down from there, I've also added in a few of my own exclusive re-edits. Hope you enjoy the mix and a big thank you to Jesse for 15 years of inspiring house music releases.” - Dick Johnson

Early Support from: Davide Squillace, Joris Voorn, Riva Starr, DJ Sneak, Roger Sanchez, Hector Romero, Waifs & Strays, Weiss & more

Walter Murphy - A Fifth Of Beethoven - (Soulwax Edit)

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.
