Gavin Friday announces The Church of Love and Dancing remix EP featuring David Holmes

February 13, 2026

Following the release of his critically acclaimed album Ecce Homo, Gavin Friday returns with a bold remix EP that reframes The Church Of Love through the hands of four boundary-pushing producers to coincide with the day of love – Valentine’s Day.

The Church Of Love remix EP brings together an inspired and wide-ranging cast: Belfast polymath David Holmes, producer and songwriter Michael Heffernan, electronic artist Starcharmer, and renowned mixer and engineer Ash Howes. Each remix offers a distinct reimagining of Friday’s original material, expanding the emotional and sonic reach of the album while remaining faithful to its dramatic core.

David Holmes delivers a cinematic, high-tempo reconstruction of The Church Of Love steeped in tension and atmosphere, while Michael Heffernan brings a refined, melodic sensibility to his remix, highlighting the song’s emotional depth. Starcharmer injects contemporary electronic textures and forward-thinking production, pushing the track into new sonic territory, while Ash Howes closes the collection with a concise, radio-ready mix that distils Friday’s vision into a powerful, accessible form.

Originally released to widespread praise, Ecce Homo saw Gavin Friday explore themes of identity, belief, vulnerability, and transformation, pairing his unmistakable voice with richly detailed, modern production. This remix EP extends that vision into new spaces — from late-night dancefloors to introspective headphone moments — underscoring the strength and versatility of the original composition of The Church Of Love.

The Church Of Love and Dancing (Remixes) stands as a collaborative statement, bringing together artists from different scenes, cities, and creative backgrounds to re-engage with one of Gavin Friday’s most vital recent works.
