Fire Island is the name of an English house music duo, made up of producers and remixers Pete Heller and Terry Farley. Both are prolific musicians who have an extensive list of remixes to their credit, using both the Fire Island moniker and billed as Heller & Farley Project, Stylus Trouble or Farley & Heller.
As Fire Island they hit number one on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1998 with "Shout to the Top", a song originally recorded by The Style Council in 1985. It also peaked at number 23 in the UK Singles Chart. Lead vocals on the track were provided by Loleatta Holloway.
The group collaborated with pop artist Michael Jackson for the song "Money", which appeared on his internationally best-selling album Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix.
Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or island:
“The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter, and is about as ample at one season as at another. It is as well for cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We crossed a deep and wide bay which makes eastward north of Kineo, leaving an island on our left, and keeping to the eastern side of the lake. This way or that led to some Tomhegan or Socatarian stream, up which the Indian had hunted, and whither I longed to go. The last name, however, had a bogus sound, too much like sectarian for me, as if a missionary had tampered with it; but I knew that the Indians were very liberal. I think I should have inclined to the Tomhegan first.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
