Depeche Mode’s Remixes 2: 81-11 finally arrives next week. We’ve already heard two remixes of “Personal Jesus” — one by Alec Metric and another entitled “Stargate Remix” — plus the Eric Prydz remix of “Never Let Me Down Again” and Norwegian dance duo Röyksopp‘s re-do of “Puppets.”

We’ll share a few more highlights, if you don’t mind. This one is thumping update of “Tora! Tora! Tora!” from Miike Snow’s Karlsson & Winnberg:

Finally, maybe the most pleasant surprise of all, the “Joebot Presents ‘Radio Face’ Remix” of “A Question Of Time”:
So much collective awesomeness.
