Friendly Fire’s singer bro does his best Dave Gahan impression on this cover of “Strangelove” for the upcoming Gucci Guilty campaign. A star studded collaboration with a commercial shot by Frank Miller starring Evan Rachel Wood. This is one of my favorite Depeche Mode songs and Friendly Fires adds their touch in a good way to the song. I especially like that they retain the way Dave Gahan says “A-gain” during the bridge.
As we all wait for a new Friendly Fires album this latest Bugged Out Suck My Deck mix mixed by the trio will have to suffice. The UK trio teams up with the Toronto House duo to produce a track that pays homage to the classic NYC House sound that we all know and love. Listen to “Stay Here” a track made exclusively for this mix, maybe this is a hint to what the new album will sound like.

I don’t know how I missed this info about this collaboration that came out a few months ago about the both of these fantastic bands covering/remixing each other. What a perfect pairing. Holy Ghost!’s dark, Larry Levan disco re-visioning of “On Board” featuring The DFA Celestial Choir is exactly what I love about Holy Ghost!, vintage synths and that glorious analog warmth. And Friendly Fires takes Holy Ghost’s dark disco and is able to squeeze out all its dark pop glory. Either way just dance.

Love this remix by Joakim. A great spacey disco house tune, I especially love it when those horn samples kick in the middle. Friendly Fires have definitely grown on me especially with “Kiss of Life”, looking forward to new music from them. Also remember, “one day we’ll live in Paris…”
