Friendships Open the Gates to Paradise with this Kirin J Callinan Remix

Forming a cosmic bridge between last year's iteration of the exquisite Paradise music festival and the just-announced 2015 lineup, Melbourne duo Friendships have heralded their place on this year's billing with a playful remix of "Embracism" from 2014 headliner Kirin J Callinan. The rework switches the searing menace of the original up into a jaunty grind, fleshing out Kirin's electronic inclinations into more explicit dance territory. Listen to the exclusive stream above.

Gearing up for its third year, Paradise have again curated a knockout selection of Australian independent artists with bands My Disco and Black Cab leading the charge for the outdoor main stage and a killer selection of dance acts to hit the indoor Clubland. Paradise is a BYO affair, and boasts shower and indoor dunny facilities. Check out the full first lineup announcement below.
