MAY, 2026—Following Andy Butler’s Hercules & Love Affair return, closing out 2025 with a new tour and the acclaimed four-track Someone Else Is Calling EP, he’s back again, releasing a set of remixes that include deep house originator Mr. Fingers (aka Larry Heard), and underground heroes Ciel, Luke Solomon & CPEN, and Mystery Affair.
Someone Else is Calling Remixes Tracklist:
1. Crossed Lines - Mr. Fingers Acid Mix
2. Crossed Lines - Mr. Fingers Deep Remix
3. Crossed Lines - Mr. Fingers Ambient Mix
4. That’s Not How To Love - Luke Solomon & CPEN NRG Remix
5. Body & Soul - Ciel Remix
6. Someone Else is Calling - Mystery Affair Remix
“Larry Heard was a direct inspiration for the original EP,” says Butler. “So having him on this remix package particularly moved my heart.” This is not the first time one of house music’s most important pioneers has remixed Butler’s work. The late great Frankie Knuckles famously put his rendition on Butler’s breakout single “Blind” in 2008. “Like when I first heard Frankie Knuckles’ remix, and thought how he truly listened to and felt the music, I had that same experience with Larry’s. I can’t express how grateful I am to have him participate.”
A blend of modern production and classic house influences, the remixes balance Butler’s emotional tone with a strong club focus. Luke Solomon & CPEN’s take on “That’s Not How To Love” pairs piano chords with a steady, oscillating bassline and subtle synth accents. Mystery Affair’s remix of “Someone Else is Calling” layers punchy snares and synth textures with rhythmic cowbell and delayed chord stabs designed for the dancefloor.
Canada’s Ciel reworks “Body & Soul” into a breakbeat-driven track, combining crisp percussion with a rounded bassline and a smooth acid lead. Meanwhile, Mr. Fingers offers three distinct versions of “Crossed Lines”: a reverb-heavy “Deep” mix, a stripped-back “Ambient” mix, and a late-night “Acid” mix built around the Roland 303, each reflecting his signature approach to deep house.
Andy Butler is a pivotal figure in modern queer dance culture. His work as Hercules & Love Affair has shaped club culture since the iconic 2008 track “Blind” with ANOHNI — a landmark moment that bridged underground house, pop, and queer expression.
