Hercules & Love Affair Launch Renaissance's "Sidetracked" Series
Hercules', aka Andy Butler, self-titled album on DFA wowed critics and music fans across the board in 2008 with tracks such as "Blind" and "You Belong". Their soulful blend of disco-inspired songs provided the perfect soundtrack to summer. A year on, 'Sidetracked' arrives just in time for those demanding a similar musical fix...
"Sidetracked has been developed to show the other side of bands from the electronic genre who can, and do, DJ," says Renaissance Geoff Oakes, "It's an opportunity to offer a diverse, unique series, which makes Hercules & Love Affair the more than perfect choice to kick-start matters."
Andy honed his craft DJing at various underground parties in New York, so returning to the decks was a very natural step for him. He's used the comp' to showcase a broad sweep of classic house and disco, plus a brand new Hercules' exclusive. Says Andy, "I am excited by this compilation to realize two ends: it's a slamming mix with tracks that have historically made me freak out in the club, along with new productions - including my Hercules & Love Affair exclusive."
Listen here to the 20 minute Sidetracked sampler.
