Eight unique reinterpretations of Memento Mori lead single out now
Depeche Mode has released Ghosts Again (Remixes), a collection of Martin Gore and Dave Gahan-approved reinterpretations of the Billboard Hot Trending Songs No. 1 and AAA, alternative and rock top 10 charting single from the band’s universally acclaimed 15th studio album, Memento Mori. Available now across digital platforms via Columbia Records, Ghosts Again (Remixes) showcases myriad new dimensions of the the track.
Ghosts Again (Remixes) finds some of the most exciting names in the electronic music space covering a diverse range of sonic terrain—from the melodic techno of rising star Massano to the big Berghain vibes of a collaboration between legends Chris Liebing and Luke Slater.
“I have been a big fan of Depeche Mode for so many years. They have influenced the way that I think about music and DJ,” states Liebling. “I’m extremely grateful that I could not only do another remix, but that I also got to do it with one of the biggest legends in Techno world [Luke Slater].”
Slater adds, “When I was a kid I was buying Depeche Mode seven-inches, the early ones. I remember that well… What I love about Depeche Mode is that over the years they have just formed a world of themselves… They’ve kind of covered this timeless zone and I think that’s really special.”
On the leftfield front, Ghosts Again (Remixes) features a deep house version from Moroccan up-and-comer Bergsonist, as well as a moody take from Matthew Herbert. The release also includes experimental remixes from Chris & Cosey collaborator Nik Colk Void, Rival Consoles and Miss Grit, as well as Davide Rossi who recorded strings for Memento Mori and contributes an ethereal strings-only version here.
Depeche Mode is currently gearing up for the next phase of the Memento Mori World Tour, a run of Europe/UK stadium dates beginning May 16th in Amsterdam. The band will return to North America for the tour’s third leg, which kicks off September 21st with the first of a trio of shows at Mexico City’s Foro Sol stadium, and concludes with a series of four Los Angeles shows taking place December 10th and 12th at the Kia Forum and December 15th and 17th at the Crypto.com Arena.
