Depeche Mode Collaborates with Stargate on Remix Album
CHART SPOTLIGHT. Remember June 6th. Not since it’s the Sweden’s National Day, but the return of Depeche Mode. Remixes 2: 81-11 features a brand new remix of the group’s 1989 hit “Personal Jesus.” The multi-talented Norwegian Stargate album safely takes “Personal Jesus” to another level and it’s amazing that these are the same guys who produced Ne-Yo’s “So Sick” and Rihanna’s “What’s My Name?”
Throughout the years, the track has been covered by both Johnny Cash and Marilyn Manson. Dubbed as “Personal Jesus ’11,” this will be the first single off the remix album. Other contributors includes Eric Prydz (“Never Let Me Down Again”), Röyksopp (“Puppets”) and Jacques Lu Cont (“A Pain That I’m Used To”).

Prydz got his breakthrough back in 2004 when “Call on Me” sold 4.5m copies worldwide. Based on Stevie Winwood’s “Valerie,” the video featured a 1980s dance class. Strangely enough, “Call on Me” was sampled in its turn on Chris Brown and Dutch singer Eva Simon’s track “Pass Out.” WelcheMusic covered Eva Simon’s breakthrough hit “Silly Boy” a while back.
