  • Andy Butler will release his first solo EP via his own MR.INTL imprint in February. The New Yorker is best known as the founder of disco house outfit Hercules & Love Affair, with whom he has released three albums. Though he's collaborated on a handful of EPs in the past, You Can Shine is his first foray into the solo realm. You Can Shine sees Butler treading familiar ground: the title track, which features vocalist Richard Kennedy, is a soulful, big room number, while "Personality Track" is "a whiplashing techy instrumental pounder." “Hercules has a collaborative, collective approach," Butler explains. "People who enjoy Hercules anticipate uplifting, vocal-orientated, disco-influenced music, something nuanced and quite musical, a proper listening experience. You Can Shine goes for a more direct approach, a stomping, uplifting club 12" but it's me, isn't it, so it will still have something of Hercules about it." The EP will be released on vinyl on February 23rd, with the digital release following on March 16th. You can stream "You Can Shine" below.
