Full EP Stream: Hercules and Love Affair - I Try To Talk To You

Wow, talk about a smorgasbord of awesome beats! Hercules and Love Affair's dramatic I Try To Talk To You is one of the absolute highlights for us on brand new album The Feast of the Broken Heart. John Grant's voice is so damn perfect and incredible. The word emotive only touches the surface to say the least. There's a depth and urgency that really touches us. On the remix EP we get some really nice treatments that ranges from a hot n' intense NYC house remix from Seth Troxler, a dissonant and lovely Morgan Geist anthem and finally Viennese deep house from Ha-Ze Factory. Very sweet! Listen to all the goodness below!

There's a lotta action in this production and we can handle it for sure. Bring it on!

Hercules And Love Affair - Release Me (Original Mix) - Premiere

Hercules And Love Affair and mastermind Andy Butler drops their DJ-Kicks compilation the 29th. On it we get a brand new track from them - Release Me. So nice! It's co-written and features New York DJ Whitney Fierce, and we adore her voice. Alsooo, the 8-bit sounds and the over all retro feel really gets us going + the groove is awesome! For the Andy Butler & Mark Pistel remix click here! 

"I wrote this song with my friend DJ Whitney Fierce. She is a great dj, and very knowledgable about dance music from many cultures. She also rocks food coloring for hair dye, which makes her very tasty in my book because it makes me think of Mink Stole, a great actress from Baltimore in some of John Water's films. This song lies somewhere between Stock Aitken and Waterman and Manchester's Hacienda sound, while Whitney sounds very Bananarama on it. Mark Pistel busted out his E- Max on this recording with some original samples he compiled in 91, so that made us all dance in the studio." - Andy Butler
