>>HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR

remember ?

there was a time before paris. and a city called new york.
just a few years ago the DFA label started to release music that revolutionized modern dance music. lcd soundsystem, juan maclean, hot chip .. just to name a few of them marked the change from conclusive minimal music back to mostly live played instruments combined with soundsystems and new technologies.
after struggling with some projects that didnt really worked it out like princehorn dance school, they are back with the astonishing hercules and love affair.







hercules and love affair will make you think that 70's disco funk never happened. ever. its a
groundbreaking new project from andrew butler (->well-known nyc resident and dfa mate) and tim goldsworthy (->originally a drummer for U.N.K.L.E., Goldsworthy co-founded james lavelle's mo' wax label. he later worked with james murphy, being part of lcd soundsystem and is joint owner of DFA records).

the sound of hercules and love affair expertly combines elements of classic house & acid with new york's current (and everlasting) love of all things disco for two tracks that meet somewhere in the middle.
please notice : antony from antony and the johnonsons does the vocals on "vlind"
