Duran Duran have announced Free To Love: Hot Star Remixes, a new remix collection built around their recent single “Free To Love,” featuring Nile Rodgers.
The remix album will be released digitally across streaming platforms this Friday, with physical editions on vinyl, CD and cassette following later this summer.
The collection features new versions of “Free To Love” from Trixie Mattel, Horse Meat Disco, Harrison, DJ White Shadow, ALISSIA, Biff Chitlins and BastienkHz, with each artist reworking the track through disco, house, club and electronic music influences.
Speaking about her remix, Trixie Mattel said: “The audacity for me to put my own spin on this track! A slightly higher BPM, more cosmic disco fantasy, and a fat nasty bass. I firmly believe anything can be made gayer.”
The physical editions will include two exclusive bonus remixes by Duran Duran, while a standalone 7” vinyl will feature the original version of “Free To Love” alongside an exclusive instrumental.
Reflecting on the project, Nick Rhodes said: “Sometimes a song simply demands remixes and you have no choice but to obey – this was certainly the case with ‘Free To Love’. We wanted to collaborate with the best possible contemporary remixers, which is something we have not done for a very long time.”
He added: “It was fascinating to work with artists across different genres of dance music to see how their approaches to our song varied. With music you can either keep it locked up in your room or open the doors to the whole hotel and find out what the other rooms look like and sound like.”
Originally released in April, “Free To Love” reunited Duran Duran with longtime collaborator Nile Rodgers. The track was named BBC Radio 2’s Record of the Week and landed on 21 Spotify New Music Friday playlists globally.
The announcement follows news that Duran Duran will headline BST Hyde Park on July 5, 2026, with special guests including Scissor Sisters, Nile Rodgers & CHIC and Groove Armada.
