Depeche Mode Vs. Love On Laserdisc
On 7th December Depeche Mode will release the double A-side single of ‘Fragile Tension’ and ‘Hole To Feed’ which will include a whole host of reMixes including contributions from Laidback Luke, Hervé, Popof and Peter Bjorn And John.
Kris Menace also steps up for reMix duties both as himself and in his Love On Laserdisc guise. We were really impressed with LoL’s début EP and here they provide one of the best Depeche Mode reMixes for a long time (DM reMixes can be a bit hit and miss!).

The week in Bangers: 24:05:09
The week in Bangers: While electronic rumors isn’t strictly an Electro-House blog, we do cover a lot of Electro-House that crosses over in to our realm. So many good club tunes and reMixes surface each week we can’t (and wouldn’t) cover them all, so this is a round up of some of the best from the week that we didn’t have time to dedicate individual posts to…
Here comes the bangers! This week we start off with French Indie gods Phoenix, as reMixed by the amazing Yuksek. One of my favourite bands, The Faint, get the treatment from Hot Pink Delorean & Knowlton Walsh and the similarly great Sneaky Sound System are talked by Stuart Price A.K.A. Thin White Duke. The Shoes reMix Golden Silvers and Alex Braxe takes on Fenech-Soler. there a new reMix of Little Boots’ ‘Stuck On Repeat’ by DJ Adamix & Oli Freke whilst Hervé goes crazy on Depeche Mode’s next single. We end as we started with Phoenix, this time reMixed by Holy Ghost!. The circle is now complete!

Depeche Mode Vs. Boys Noize Vs. DIM
Boys Noize have tackled Depeche Mode before with their incredible reMix of ‘Personal Jesus a couple of years ago.
Now they have teamed up with, sometime label mates,Germany’s DIM to produce this official reMix of the Mode’s forthcoming single ‘Wrong’.

It takes a while to kick in, this reMix, but when it does it doesn’t disappoint.
‘Wrong’ is released April 6th and it, along with more Depeche Mode, can be purchased from one of the links below.
Depeche Mode premiere ‘Wrong’ video
Depeche Mode have just premièred the video for the eagerly awaited upcoming single ‘Wrong’.
It’s a slightly creepy, intense mini movie. I love DM’s ‘cameo’ appearance.
Actually, I really like the song. Some of the synths in there sound like ”Masses’ or ‘Violator’ Mode. Maybe it’s true, maybe we have got the old Mode back.
Where’s Alan?

Red Blooded Women & Designer Drugs take on the Mode
What can we say about covers of ‘Enjoy The Silence’? Everyone tries it at least once, most fail miserably. You can’t blame them for trying, though, it is one of the greatest songs ever written after all.
A few succeed…
Luckily, sultry London SynthPop trio Red Blooded Women fall into the later category with this fantastic cover of Depeche Mode’s classic, here given analogue dancefloor treatment by reMixers of the moment Designer Drugs.

Depeche Mode new album news
Depeche Mode have finally set a date for the new album, now titled ‘Sounds Of The Universe’
From depechemode.com:
“January 15, 2009- Groundbreaking, chart-topping electro legends Depeche Mode are proud to announce the release of their long-anticipated new studio album, Sounds Of The Universe on April 21, 2009 (Mute Records).”
Looks like Dave Gahan is taking more of a prominent role as a second songwriter which, if his last solo effort is anything to go by, isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
This is the quote from the press release that excites me:
“Recorded in Santa Barbara and New York, Depeche Mode returned to using a lot of vintage gear, from analogue synthesizers to drum machines, in order to conjure up the retro-futuristic arrangements featured on the album”
As ever, ‘Sounds Of The Universe’ will be released on Mute Records Ltd.
It looks like the album will actually be available for download on April 20th in Europe.
If we’re going to take about Depeche I can’t help but drop this 2006 reMix of ‘Personal Jesus’ by Boys Noize:
