Depeche Mode – Should be Higher (AMTRAC Remix)
2014's most prolific and consistent talent, AMTRAC, continues on his impeccable production tear with a stunning remix of Depeche Mode's "Should be Higher." Taking on one of the most iconic bands of the last thirty years is no easy task, but where most producer's would stumble, AMTRAC does it with ease. Dave Gahan's vocals get lovingly re-rubbed by the Kentucky-borne producer, resulting in a delicate mix that establishes a gripping future house groove underneath Depeche Mode's next big single.
Depeche Mode – Soothe My Soul (Steve Angello and Jacques Lu Cont Remix)
Steve Angello and Jacques Lu Cont team up to take on Depeche Mode's "Soothe My Soul," the first single off the iconic band's latest artist album. With Jacques fresh off the release of "Tracques" and Angello once again finding his footing in the less commercial side of house music, the pairing transform the Depeche Mode original's bluesy aesthetics into a harrowing synth-driven anthem. Framed around Dave Gahan's raspy vocals - "There's only one way to soothe my soul" - Steve and Jacques augment the melancholic atmosphere with a rousing four-to-the-floor beat, gritty guitar riffs, and scintillating melodic sections, effortlessly creating another track worthy of both artist's esteemed back catalogs.
