The <strong>Andy Butler<\/strong>-led project announces not one, but two new EP releases for 2026. The era begins with \u201c<strong>Danseur\u201d PT 1<\/strong>, arriving July 14 via <strong>Stratasonic Records<\/strong>. Leading the charge is the vibrant new single, \u201c<strong>I Get High<\/strong>.\u201d The track features Icelandic artist <strong>El\u00edn Ey of Hips &amp; Lips<\/strong> alongside <strong>Quinn Whalley<\/strong> of <strong>Paranoid London<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Following on from last year\u2019s acclaimed \u201c<strong>Someone Else Is Calling\u201d<\/strong> collaboration, Butler and company once again prove their ability to merge dancefloor euphoria with deeply human storytelling. \u201c<strong>I Get High<\/strong>\u201d immediately captures attention. With its infectious groove, channelling the warmth and liberation of late-\u201970s and early-\u201980s disco, while delivering a message that feels urgently contemporary.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/gb\/album\/i-get-high\/6774316799?i=6774316802&amp;itscg=30200&amp;itsct=music_box_badge&amp;ls=1&amp;app=music&amp;mttnsubad=6774316802\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><br \/>\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/toolbox.marketingtools.apple.com\/api\/v2\/badges\/listen-on-apple-music\/standard-white\/en-us\" alt=\"Listen on Apple Music\" style=\"width: 367px; height: 82px; vertical-align: middle; object-fit: contain;\"\/><br \/>\n    <\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2caYWqOHqQlxhJzL4P2kpm?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>At its heart, the song is a celebration of connection and visibility. <strong>Butler<\/strong> explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe song is about what I consider one of the last frontiers of LGBT rights,\u201d <strong>Butler<\/strong> says, \u201cwhich is to embrace and encourage the romantic partners of trans and nonbinary people to come out, and leave the lie of shame behind. We need more real connection, not less, in this world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That spirit of openness flows through the song\u2019s lyrics:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cYou know you want to connect with me in ecstasy. Connection it gets me high, it\u2019s what it\u2019s all about, connection is what we live without.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cDanseur\u201d PT 1<\/strong> unfolds across four tracks, each presenting a miniaturised tale drawn from the LGBT experience. The EP opens with the transformative coming-out journey depicted in \u201c<strong>My Journey<\/strong>.\u201d Whereas \u201c<strong>The Eyes of Love<\/strong>\u201d explores a deeply moving story of romance, loss, and hope as two men find each other only to confront the realities of HIV. The collection closes with a cover of <strong>Book of Love\u2019s<\/strong> classic \u201c<strong>Boy<\/strong>\u201c. The track pays tribute to New York\u2019s legendary BoyBar and the communities that shaped queer nightlife culture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Danseur PT 1 Tracklist<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201c<strong>My Journey<\/strong>\u201d (ft.
