Dave Clarke’s remix of Depeche Mode’s “Dream On” will be featured on a new compilation that collects thirty of his remixes onto a double CD. ‘Remixes & Rarities’ is out January next year.

Clarke’s DJ schedule may be booked for six months ahead, and he may have remixed many of the bigger electronic acts - Depeche Mode, New Order, Underworld, Chemical Brothers, Gary Numan and Moby - but Clarke still doesn’t see himself as part of the overground. “I may be established,” he says, “But I’ll never be establishment.”

A new Sun news article is reporting Depeche Mode’s frontman Dave Gahan says it upsets him that the band don’t win awards despite selling millions of albums. They are also doing a contest for some LHN and Best Of cds as well.

The Essex-born singer is fresh from Depeche’s sell-out Touring The Angel world tour with bandmates MARTIN GORE and ANDREW FLETCHER and the lads are as big as ever in the US.

Filter Magazine is giving you a chance to win a copy of the new Depeche Mode Best Of Vol. 1 and also a mohawk knit hat. Unfortunately this contest is only available for fans located in The US. Click here for your chance to win.

Bryan Black, co-founding member of MOTOR, has a brand new DJ mix available that features Depeche Mode. Head over to www.bryanblack.info to download Bryan’s new mix.

First single from ‘Playing The Angel’ released… again! This time as a limited edition picture disc 7″, which fans have been asking for for roughly a year now!

When Mute released a seven inch picture disc for “A Pain That I’m Used To”, fans were excited by what seemed to be a one off. When a likewise was released for subsequent singles “Suffer Well” and “John The Revelator”, collectors were keen to complete the set with a seven inch picture disc of “Precious”.

Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” is out on a brand new collection called “The Ultimate Bands The Classic Anthems”. This 2 disc collection covers some of The UK’s biggest anthems from some of The UK’s favorite bands.

As the album title hints, the UK’s fave bands and their greatest anthemic hits, can be found on this great new compilation. So ramp up the volume for R.E.M., David Bowie, Massive Attack, Depeche Mode, Morrissey, The Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop, Underworld, Placebo, Buzzcocks and more…
