Darwin Deez – Free (Billy Mix)

Darwin Deez has today premiered the Billy remix of his new single “Free” on Brooklyn Vegan. Billy turns it out like Darwin’s been hangin’ at the after-party in cahoots with both Solange Knowles and LCD Soundsystem – whilst managing to bring out the intimate narrative of “Free”.  It’s beautiful.

Stream and download the remix below.

Darwin Deez – Free (Unicorn Kid Mix)

Darwin Deez has today premiered the Unicorn Kid remix of his new single “Free” on Pitchfork. Stream the remix here.

Edinburgh’s Unicorn Kid has taken the track and moulded Darwin’s free spirit into a miraculously infectious jump-up pop anthem, with insanely catchy riffs, a gloriously melodic treatment of Darwin’s vocal, and hyper-speed bouncy beats to match.  It’s absolutely fantastic.
