Fire Island is an English house music duo, made up of producers and remixers Pete Heller and Terry Farley.[1] Both are prolific musicians who have an extensive list of remixes to their credit, using the Fire Island moniker and also being billed as Heller & Farley Project, Roach Motel or Farley & Heller.[2]
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 and with lead vocals supplied by Loleatta Holloway. It peaked at number 23 in the UK Singles Chart. They also had a top twenty single on both charts in 1992 with "In Your Bones / Fire Island" (the latter featuring Ricardo Da Force).[3]
They collaborated with Michael Jackson for the song "Money", which appeared on the album Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix, as well as providing a remix for the title song.[1]
