Hercules & Love Affair - DJ-Kicks

Review by Jon Falcone

Best enjoyed by those who are able to take this as a polished trip down memory lane or as a launch pad to jump back into the history of dance music.»

nyc's future house collective hercules and love affair - primarily the work of lynchpin andy butler - serves up a heart stopping trip through house music and beyond. butler contributes to our benchmark dj mix series, 'dj kicks'. it's only his second commercial mix ever, the first being 2009's excellent 'sidetracked' for renaissance. butler started djing when he was 15 and it's in his blood. there are few people who know more about dance music history than him, but he combines it with an approach that's bang up to date, recontextualizing classic tracks with disco that sounds like it's been beamed in from the 22nd century. in short, it's a rivetting prospect.
