Upon release, the Erol Alkan-produced record gained momentum with tracks including ‘Beautiful Lies’ and ‘Tonight United’. The 12-tracker also featured Italian composer and producer Giorgio Moroder, who helped to create a number of tracks on ‘FUTURE PAST’.

‘FUTURE PAST’ was recorded across multiple studios in both London and LA over lockdown. The album marked Duran Duran’s 15th and their first in some six years following 2015’s ‘Paper Gods’.

Pete Tong recently joined the British rock legends in Ibiza as part of their Touch The Sunrise immersive experience that helped to kickstart International Music Summit (IMS) in April this year.

Earlier this month, Duran Duran were inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame in Los Angeles after winning a fan vote. Speaking at the ceremony, Duran Duran’s lead vocalist Simon Le Bon said: “What an absolute honour it was to be nominated, let alone be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“There’s nothing that comes close to such recognition. You can dream about what happened to us but to experience it, on one’s own terms, as mates, was beyond incredible,” he said.
