On the eve of the release of new music, Hercules and Love Affair is
back for select set of special DJ appearances.
Andy Butler has been engaged in the art of selecting and mixing
music for over 20 years. Applying an impeccable filter and playful
eclecticism (as is evidenced by his NTS radio residency), he is as
comfortable playing driving techno and house as he is an epic disco
tune. Butler has long been involved in nightlife, starting with
beginnings in the 90s American underground. He has been a
regular at places like Berlin’s Panorama Bar, the NYC Downlow and
London’s Fabric.
Butler is perhaps most known for the evergreen disco anthem
“Blind”, which was famously remixed by the godfather of house
music, Frankie Knuckles. His original music has repeatedly served as
the soundtrack for the runways shows of Chanel, Dior, Versace,
Cartier, Yves St. Laurent and more. Similarly, he has provided the
score as a DJ to many events for fashion brands and art
happenings, including the MOMA, the Yerba Buena Arts Center in
SF and the Art Gallery of Ontario and more. His fifth full length
album will be released in 2022, truly a feat for an artist working in
the realm of electronic dance music. His intensive creative practice
keeps him busy in the studio, with performance becoming an
increasingly rarefied experience. Whether you are just joining him
at this point on the journey with Hercules & Love Affair or have
been there “from the beginning”, be sure to catch him in a city near
you for a night of music like no other.
