1978 was a pivotal year in the evolution of dance music. Saturday Night Fever had hijacked disco from the gay, black and Latino underground scene and turned it into a strutting global pop phenomenon spurring DJs like Frankie Knuckles in Chicago and Larry Levan in New York to push the expansive, electronic dreams of Gorgio Moroder (I Feel Love) and Walter Gibbons (Ten Percent) towards what would eventually become House and Garage.

1978 was also the year that Andy Butler was born. Exactly 30 years later, with a little help from his vocalist friends Antony (of Antony and the Johnsons), Kim Ann Foxman and Nomi, Andy is reviving the spirit of real disco and the house sounds it spawned with enough passion and finesse to ignite both the underground and the pop world all over again.

In its name, sound and romantic, heroic spirit, Hercules And Love Affair is the result of Andy’s dedication to the Classics: both the myths and legends of Ancient Greece and Rome that captured his imagination as a child, and the timeless club tracks that soundtracked the euphoria and delirium of his adolescence and adult life.

DJs spin House, Indie Dance, Electropop, Club, Techno, Punk; new, forward-looking dance music and everything that makes you move.

WILL EASTMAN:
Eastman is a hometown favorite in Washington, D.C. with DJ sets renowned for merging the energy and intensity of punk with the best new dance music, and raw, sexy twists on house, indie, disco and techno. Named by the Washington Post “one of the city’s titan DJs” and “a new force to be reckoned with” by Discobelle, Eastman is hitting the road in 2010 and 2011 to spread his high energy, future-leaning sound and “no attitude, just fun, and insane dancing” agenda. Eastman’s debut single, “Feelin’” has consistently been Plant Music’s top seller on Beatport in 2010.

STRETCH ARMSTRONG:
Internationally renowned deejay/producer/overall music impresario Stretch Armstrong listens, works and loves with the same ears that drew him to hip-hop in the eighties, and remains focused on evoking passionate responses from live audiences. He plays a continually evolving, eclectic mix of club music, favoring the sounds that are most whimsical and violating of traditional genre boundaries to club goers both here and abroad.

Stretch is the co-owner of New York-based Plant Music, which is home to such talents as Clubfeet, Tittsworth, Eli Escobar, Will Eastman, The Glass, Dillon Francis, Kap10 Kurt, NROTB, Loose Shus, Smalltown Romeo and others.

She currently holds a monthly residency at the Garutachi party at Rock and Roll Hotel, and has performed alongside major acts at the 2009 and 2010 Winter Music Conference in Miami.

MY COUSIN ROY is that cool distant relation you’re always looking forward to seeing. Roy’s the life of the party, endlessly entertaining with seemingly boundless energy. Certainly not bad traits for any of the roles he assumes, from the Wurst label boss to globe-trotting DJ to one-half of production outfit Beg to Differ (with Nick Chacona). Roy’s remixes, edits and his label’s stellar output have lit up dancefloors the world over, with support from dance music luminaries such as Carl Craig, 2Many DJs, Harvey, James Murphy, Aeroplane, and Tiga, amongst others. 2010 has already proven to be a big year for My Cousin Roy, having toured nonstop in Europe and all over the US, mixing a highly coveted podcast for XLR8R Magazine, and playing any chance he gets when back home in New York. And there seems to be no letting up, what with plenty more Beg to Differ remixes and original productions to come, and of course, the growing profile of his Wurst label.

AUTOEROTIQUE stores electro, techno, house, Dutch house, Dutch-colonial house, rave, rock, rave-rock, indie-rock and even ska on speed dial and calls them up frequently. Their effortlessly protean, shape-shifting sound can careen wildly from project to project, so it’s not unexpected to hear them transform from Dutch house to, say, Norwegian black metal on the same record – thus, earning them the lazily au courant nick name “Autobots”.

Following the their 2009 Gladiator EP, Autoerotique showed off the many colourful arrows in their musical quiver releasing remixes for Lykke Li, Shinichi Osawa, Chris Cornell & Timbaland, Diplo & Laidback luke, Larry Tee, B. Rich, Disco Bisquits, Fischerspooner and Weezer. Flash forward 6 months and the group is back in studio—following a non-stop liver-punishing tour—and excitedly working on their next single and first full length LP.

SONICC, one of the fastest climbing producers and DJs in house music today, went from being an unknown 17 year old high school student to a sought after dance music producer remixing the likes of Deadmau5, Laidback Luke, & Kaskade, in a manner of months! Hailing from Miami, SonicC has drawn support from literally every electro, house and trance DJ in the world with his mega dance anthem “Stickin” which went on to become one of the biggest tracks of 2009. Since “Stickin”s release SonicC has gone on to release tracks and remixes on Nervous Records, Ministry Of Sound, Mixmash, Fools Gold, Mute Records, and is now working on his debut full length album for Dim Mak Records. There are few artists that have set a bar quite so high at such a young age but with a long career ahead of him and the support of some of the heaviest hitters in dance music, SonicC is set to prove himself to the world in 2010.
