Music: Cut Copy (...Paste some Disco)

Cut Copy's "In Ghost Colours" album keeps hemorrhaging remixes like it's sweeps week on ER. This time around, their song "Far Away" gets a Disco re-rub by Hercules & Love Affair (DFA) and up and coming Damn Arms (Bang Gang). And what is it with the term "Nu-Disco"? It's not like Disco ever went away...Well, I'm gonna try not to use it because it just sounds silly. Agree? Remember when you bought a disco 12" and it actually said "Disco Sound" on the sleeve? That's exactly how i want things labeled...even in my kitchen. Oh yeah, No offense but it seems to me like Andy Buttler didn't get paid enough for the remix (AKA...it's kinda whatever). Damn Arms on the other "hand" probably would have done it for free (oh yeah, it's really that good). So keep an eye on them...they sound promising. Far Away 12" Single out Nov 24th on Modular.

Music: Hercules & Love Affair Remixes are Divine!

In addition to being the mastermind of the Hercules & Love Affair project, Andy Buttler is a pretty amazing remixer. We recently got a hold of his remix for "Situation" from legendary 80's band Yazoo. The remix basically takes the new wave out and injects it with some jackin' house steroids to make this the Barry Bonds of remixes. The result is unbelievable... This is probably not the first house remix of Situation, but how can you say no to this one? This one is for the hall of fame unlike the Giants Juicer.

The second remix we got for you is a little bit more on the Cosmic Disco side of things but definitely something our friends at the Akult Discotheque would appreciate. This remix of Baby Talk's "Chance" is pretty outstanding as you can hear all the production values that DFA is notorious for...

Ultimately the third remix is my favorite. Aeroplane's "Whispers" is more straight forward, but I love the vocals by Kathy Diamond and that repeating "never again" chorus that sounds like he couldn't program his sampler so he just sung it. Sounds a little like gibberish but i love it!

So there you have it...the living proof that Hercules & Love Affair are the hottest thing on earth and DFA probably the most trusted label out there.

Video: Hearcules & Love Affair - You Belong

Yes... Hercules & Love Affair come back with their third single July 7th and like we predicted it months ago, "You Belong" had to be a strong contender to follow "blind". With Remixes by Riton, and House Legend Kevin Sanderson, this new single is probably our favorite release from them. I know people keep mentioning them as a "Disco Revolution" but really all they did was pay homage to the great dance music that came before them... and don't get me wrong, they are the best at it right now. It's no wonder they already had Frankie Knuckles remix a track for them and to have Kevin Sanderson do another just seems like the logical progression. While we wait for the single to come out on vinyl and cd (or digitally for y'all serato fans) here's the video...and if you haven't bought the Album yet, go do that today...you're missing out on a little piece of history.

Music: This is hot!!!

Thanks to Discobelle, we got a hold of this incredible remix from Hercules & Love Affair's upcoming single "You Belong". Remix Duties are for Riton, who once again gives us a spot-on remix. I'll stop yapping....listen to it. THIS IS GONNA BE HOTT!!!

Music: New on DFA!!!

So it finally dropped. The Hercules & Love Affair album is out now and yes, even with all the hype from the singles, it didn't disappoint. If anything, this album is freaking outstanding!!!. There are a couple non-dance tracks which are good as they highlight Antony's voice, but the real bread and butter of this album are the tracks that make us remember the early Trax sound and the more intelligent Disco of the early 80's (Y'all remember Larry Levan and Arthur Russell right?). All in all there's a couple tracks that I'm sure will end up packaged with killer remixes and I'm willing to put money right now that the next singles will be "Raise me up" and "You Belong". I recently had a conversation with Brendan Wesley from AKult who claims this is gonna be the "new shit". Let's hope he's right and let's hope the boys bring them to Boston like they did with Holy Ghost a couple months ago.

Also out now, Juan Mclean's new single "Happy House" with more interesting vocals from Nancy Wang. I've heard somewhere she'll be touring with them full-time. Let's wait and see. Don't forget Hot Chip is coming to Boston April 14th so please be "ready for the floor".
