Martin Gore, songwriter and founding member of Depeche Mode, has announced he will release The Third Chimpanzee Remixed, a collection of remixes and re-workings of tracks from his acclaimed release. The Third Chimpanzee Remixed will be released August 20 on Mute via a limited edition double colored vinyl, CD, and digital platforms.

The second track from the release is a stunning remix of “Vervet” by techno DJ and fellow Mute artist, Chris Liebing. “Martin’s The Third Chimpanzee is from out of this world from a sound and production standpoint, that’s even before you mention the music itself,” Liebing says. “Getting asked by Martin, one of the most talented musicians and poets alive, to officially remix one of those tracks… I am still pinching myself.”

The first taste of The Third Chimpanzee Remixed came in February from Brazil’s ANNA, who opens the release with a mix of Martin’s pulsating track “Howler.” The special edition also sees remixes from celebrated artists including JakoJako, Jlin, Kangding, Rrose, Wehbba, The Exaltics, MoReVoX, and Barker.

Martin says of the release, “I am very excited to have such a talented list of remixers for this project. The mixes are all fantastic.”
