"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.

Do You Feel The Same?

Dean Johnson started Rock n Roll Fag Bar in 1986. By 1989, Mick Jagger was seen dancing at the World on a Tuesday or two... This unorthodox mix honors Dean, the improbable revolutionary and those he left behind.

"Loving this release! Played "Criticize" on this weeks radio show: http://www.beatsinspace.net/playlists/548

(Also featured on BIS Best of 2010 show)

- Tim Sweeney / Beats In Space

"Love the buildup on Criticize, plenty of dips and enough feel good in there for me. I'll be playing this one!"
- Jacques Renault / DFA

"Absolute BOMB, huge tip on this remix/edit of former SOS Band member Alexander O Neal’s classic- droppin very soon on the might of Kojak Giant Sounds! It rips the cheese out of the original and tuns it into a nasty house jam, if this remix was done back then it would have been a house classic. Amazing flourishes added on top with dubby synths and old school perc keep it fitting the 87′ vibe. Maxxi Soundsystem have been around for 10 years rocking dancefloors around their home town of Brighton; re-editing at least half the tracks they play and are only now releasing their own material! watch out!"

- feelmybicep.com

"Criticize" is a killer...don't have words to say how much I love it.
- Nicholas / No More Hits

"Lead track Criticize is an absolute corker. The more astute of you may have realised that its a edit of the monster Alexander O’Neal club jam of the same name, but dragged kicking and screaming up in to a 21st century disco, complete with a throbbing 80s power bassline, housey keys and punctuated by those trademark soulful vocals. We’re so into this it hurts."
- Contort Yourself

"Brighton's Maxxi Soundystem ensemble drop their debut 12" on Kojak, Finland's finest. We were sent this a few weeks ago and it didn't quite fit in the bunch of moody midtempo sets we were doing for a few blogs etc, so I almost forgot about this release. It's quite a departure from the usual fare we cover on these pages, as we're dealing with peaktime disco fodder here, drawing heavily on cheeky 90s tunes (think wailing diva, electronic tom drums and euro synths). As bad as that might sound, Maxxi Soundsystems' deep and heavy rub of Alexander O'Neal's Critize works a real treat. While the original track is a genuine slice of late 80s cheeze (check out the original video here, it's awesome in a very twisted way) the rerub is a cool piece of modern boogie. The flip is cool too, but it's all about this track for me. Excellent record by one the coolest and most forward thinking labels around."
- Sleazy Beats Recordings

"Love both tracks. "His Hat Was His Home" has been a favourite in my sets of late."
- Damon Martin / Disco Bloodbath

"Yeah - I rocked this at Bar25 over the summer, it went down well!"
- The Runners / Dirt Crew Recordings & Welt Recordings

"Loving the Alexander O'neil cover version.... defo done it justice. Great stuff, will support also really feelin the Papa Was A Rolling Stone joint too - great release!" Keep em coming and keep me posted. RSPKT"
- Tristan da Cunha / 2020 Recordings

"A serious refix... Just works so well!"
- Nathan 'Detroit' Thursting / Southern Fried Records)

"DOPE SHIT!!!!! Criticize is the tune for me. 100% playing that tune in my show and on every dancefloor."
- Shaddy / Soul Industries

"Keep on churning out good releases & I'll keep on playing them!"
- Leftside Wobble

"His Hat.." takes Papa Was A Rolling Stone and aims it straight at the dancefloor. Lovely track, will def play."
- Pablo Contraband
