IMPORT. Hercules & Love Affair launch Renaissance's brand new compilation series - Sidetracked. "Sidetracked has been developed to show the other side of bands from the electronic genre who can, and do, DJ," says Renaissance's 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."





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.





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." The compilation will come as a 2-disc set: mixed and specially re-mastered unmixed format.
