Artists locked in are ANNA, Barker, Wehbba, JakoJako, Kangding Ray, The Exaltics, Rrose, Jlin, Chris Liebing and MoReVoX.

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

Chris Liebing said: “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. 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.”
