SPILL NEW MUSIC: DURAN DURAN RELEASE NEW “FREE TO LOVE” DOUBLE REMIX SINGLE

DURAN DURAN RELEASE NEW “FREE TO LOVE” DOUBLE REMIX SINGLE

FEATURING HORSE MEAT DISCO AND DJ WHITE SHADOW

Fresh from the release of their acclaimed new single “Free To Love” featuring legendary collaborator Nile Rodgers, global music icons Duran Duran return today with two electrifying new reworks of the track from acclaimed dance music heavyweights Horse Meat Disco and DJ White Shadow.

The new remix double single pairs Horse Meat Disco’s euphoric reinterpretation with the futuristic club energy of the DJWS & THE DISCO_NECT Remix, expanding the sonic universe of “Free To Love” while retaining the original song’s powerful message of freedom and connection.

Founded in 2004 at London institution The Eagle, Horse Meat Disco have become one of the defining forces in global queer club culture, renowned for their joyful blend of disco, italo, house and rare underground gems. Their remix transforms “Free To Love” into a glittering late-night anthem built for packed dancefloors and communal release.

Speaking about the collaboration, Horse Meat Disco said: “It has been an honour for us to remix the legendary Duran Duran and Nile Rodgers.”

Also featured on the release is a dynamic new remix from Grammy-winning producer and songwriter DJ White Shadow, whose work with artists including Lady Gaga helped define the sound of modern pop and electronic music. Bringing his signature cinematic production style to the track, the DJWS & THE DISCO_NECT Remix pushes “Free To Love” deeper into futuristic dancefloor territory.

Paul Blair aka DJ White Shadow said: “Duran Duran have always made music that feels both timeless and futuristic. “Free To Love” already had such a powerful energy and message, so remixing it was an easy yes for me. My goal was to honour the emotion of the original while giving it a new pulse for the dancefloor.”

The announcement follows news that Duran Duran will headline BST Hyde Park on July 5 2026 alongside special guests Scissor Sisters.

“Free To Love” is the latest in a long line of Duran Duran x Nile Rodgers collaborations that first began with a remix of the iconic #1 smash single, ‘The Reflex’ more than four decades ago.

Duran Duran are one of the most successful and influential bands in pop history. With well over 100 million records sold worldwide, the Birmingham-formed group has soundtracked generations with a peerless arsenal of hits including “Rio”, “Hungry Like the Wolf”, “Girls on Film”, and “Ordinary World”. Long time band mates Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor are known for their electrifying live performances and pioneering synth-pop sound. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees continue to prove why they are enduring music royalty with sold-out tours and critically acclaimed releases, including their sixteenth studio album, 2023’s Halloween themed Danse Macabre, which became their 10th UK Top 5 record.

Live, the band remain unstoppable, selling out arenas across the UK and North America during their Future Past Tour, playing a landmark headline Halloween show at Manchester’s Co-op Live in 2025 and being awarded the “Città di Sanremo” at Italy’s Sanremo Festival last year for their extraordinary contributions to the event, 40 years since their debut. And, in 2026, alongside highly anticipated vinyl reissues of The Wedding Album and Thank You, Duran Duran is back on the road and embarking on a prestigious multi-night Las Vegas residency at the Fontainebleau, preceded by a headline slot at California’s Beachlife Festival, and followed by a month-long run through Europe. They will be more than ready for their UK homecoming at Hyde Park.
