Duran Duran - Free To Love: Hot Star Remixes

Duran Duran hand their Nile Rodgers collaboration Free To Love to a crew of dance-floor specialists on Free To Love: Hot Star Remixes.

The original single arrived in 2026, an upbeat, disco-leaning track co-written with and featuring Rodgers, whose history with the band goes back more than four decades. Simon Le Bon called it disco for the 2020s, and the band then went looking for contemporary remixers to push it further, resulting in their first remix album released on vinyl.

Each version takes the song somewhere new. Free To Love (Horse Meat Disco Remix) comes from the London collective known for keeping classic disco alive, while ALISSIA, Harrison and DJ White Shadow each pull the groove in their own direction, and Free To Love (Trixie Mattel Remix) brings the drag star's own pop sensibility to the mix. The band also contribute two versions of their own, Love Overture and Across the Galaxy, which appear only on the physical formats.

It is a light, celebratory record that treats one song as a starting point rather than a finished product, and it plays well as a continuous party set. Anyone who has followed Duran Duran's long love affair with the dance floor will find this 12-inch a fun footnote to a busy year for the band.
