Hercules & Love Affair proudly present the latest in a long line of stunning music videos: a tribal, post-apocalyptic vision directed by AlexandLiane with styling from Bernhard Willhelm and choreography from Josh Johnson, the co-artistic director of 'SAD'.
Shot using Infra-red-converted digital cameras – which capture a completely different light spectrum – the film is directed by AlexandLiane, former collaborators with some of the biggest names in music including Kylie Minogue and Tiga.
The inspiration for the video came from Hercules & Love Affair’s founder Andy Butler commenting on the close ties between ballet and dance music. “At the meeting with Defected, the eyes lit up, and I got to write an email to Josh Johnson, my friend at the Forsythe Company inviting him to get involved.
“I have been a fan of the Forsyth ballet for many years, and was waiting for the moment to collaborate. We then dreamed up the idea of getting in touch with Bernhard Willhelm, a mutual friend and the whole thing was a go.”

The single’s release on Defected Records continues the relationship between label and group, following two celebrated Hercules & Love Affair performances at Defected’s Glitterbox residency at Booom Ibiza this summer.
