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…”
