Allegedly, HLA DJ/producer Andy Butler got started behind the decks in a Colorado leather barwhich would totally explain his mastery of disco fetishism. (In our limited experience, Midwest leather boys can be very demanding.) Luckily for us, HLA delivers whip-smart neo-disco thats tastefully, uh, restrained but perfect for getting down and dirty. This is avant-disco post-Travolta style a la Arthur Dinosaur L. Russell and Quebecs most underrated innovator, Gino Soccio. Smart, sexy and smooth, Hercules & Love Affair are going to make you shake till you forget your safe word.
