Riton has a love affair with Hercules

Monday, March 31st, 2008

It wasn’t so long ago that we directed you to a fine pair of tracks put out by Hercules and Love Affair (DFA records). But we couldn’t pass up showing some love to Riton’s rub job on You Belong. The longtime London dj fave does a great job keeping the feeling of the original while injecting just the right level of energy. The result is a happy and bouncy tribute that is refreshingly mindless… in a good a way as that can be. H & LA have jumped the pond and are now playing some dates in the UK along with a selection of euro-festival dates. Could we see the sziget added to that? Hope.

It should be pointed out however that Kunk’s all time favorite Riton edit remains his stellar work on the Mystery Jets a couple years back.  Likewise we think it’s about time homeboy comes ’round Budapest for a guest set.

A Herculean Effort

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Kunk had a gay old time throwing down the music last night’s Hungarian young designer shows at Godor Club. Our only regret is that we weren’t able to keep the packed house rocking afterward, but alas, we don’t write the rules. Big shout out to Room Mag for the hook up, we love ya girl. Cigi shown enjoying his beer as we anticipate the 8pm show.

Speaking of a gay old time, for the USE portion we picked out some Hercules action. The outfit which has permanently cornered the “Fabulous!” section of the DFA Records shelf.
