"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.

One of dance music’s finest live acts Hercules & Love Affair are set to announce a full run of summer shows and festivals. They tour Europe in May.

Duo Amine Edge & DANCE impress with two tracks demonstrating their finely-tuned low-end house sound. Hailing from Southern France, Amine Edge & DANCE have built their own musical empire, namely a burgeoning label called CUFF. In their productions they draw inspiration from early House, Phili Soul, Hip-Hop and everything in between. ‘Good Time EP’ does what it says on the tin, but represents the beginnings of a new direction and a stylistic departure from their signature G-House sound. The lead track shows their versatility with a straight-up 4/4 beat along with chop ‘n change vocals whereas ‘F.U.N.K.’ is a more industrial tech-inspired offering, putting a very modern twist on the funk.

Kings Of Tomorrow returns to Defected, featuring the stunning vocals of Kandace Springs, with this instant soulful classic 'Faded'. This latest edition from Sandy Rivera's Kings Of Tomorrow project has all the elements you'd come to expect from the house master; a rolling kick drum with hi-hat accents enhanced by uplifting, emotive piano and beautiful vocals all simply arranged around a tight production. As always Sandy Rivera delivers; the King is back!

4 To The Floor present Sandy Rivera’s feel-good late-90s house anthem ‘Come Into My Room’ featuring LT Brown in this mega nine-track release. The much-loved Take It Back Mix, a Sandy Rivera and Jose Burgos (aka Soulvision) production, has repeated soft funk-infused riffs behind husky vocals and bass kicks, alongside their Dub version. This package also features Sandy’s Original Mix and the bouncing 09 Remix. UK producer Mark Knight showcases his blossoming sound in his warped Toolroom Boys Mix with its wobbling bassline. Sandy teams up with Jay Sealée under their D-Menace alias for their bass-heavy remix. D-Dub Beats, Sand Beats and Take It Back Accapella mixes round off this exceptionally uplifting package.

West London’s Slip 'n' Slide was one of the UK’s original house imprints. Starting in 1994 with early releases from artists such as Blaze, X-Press 2, Masters At Work and Kings Of Tomorrow, they set the benchmark for house music in the UK. Kevin Hedge and Josh Milan (aka Blaze) were one of Slip ‘n’ Slide’s most prolific acts, with ‘Do You Remember House?’ written and produced by the pair. One of a number of records where Hedge playfully dons his Palmer Brown alter ego for vocal duties, this new remix package showcases this enduring classic with three new versions. Up first, Italian duo The Cube Guys re-work Bob Sinclar’s classic remix, maintaining Bob’s signature Parisian flare with a modern edge for today’s dancefloors. Up next, Harry Romero’s ultra-refined, irresistibly grooving remix follows, before Seamus Haji’s Big Love edit closes out the package, gloriously bumpy with hypnotic loops that allow the vocal to really shine.

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.
