Belgian electronica pioneers Telex have remixed Depeche Mode for their next single "A pain that I'm used to" out on December 12th. We contacted Synsound, the studio owned by Dan Lacksman of Telex fame, for some info. In a reaction to Side-Line Dan Lacksman says: "In fact their recordlabel approached us to know if we were interested in doing a remix of that track. Apparently Depeche Mode knows our work and were keen to have a remix done by us. We didn't speak to them personally though." Telex is at the moment working on a new album that is to be released later on in February 2006 through EMI. More details on this very soon. Other remixers for Depeche Mode's newest single include those executed by Stuart Price under the 'Jacques Lu Cont' moniker, Goldfrapp and Bitstream next to the exclusive B-Side "Newborn" which also got remixed by Kettel. Collectors will be pleased to see that there will be a limited edition picture 7". The first one since 1993s "I Feel You". While the two CDs and a DVD will be released on December 12th, the three additional vinyl formats will be available on December 19thSource: Newsletter

Nation 12 (John Foxx, Shem McAuley, Kurt Rogers, Simon Rogers and Tim Simenon) is a project that started life as a collaboration between electronic pioneer John Foxx and Bomb The Bass's Tim Simenon back in 1989. At the time the 21-year-old Simenon's hip hop beats and music cut-ups were right at the cutting edge of British music, as he'd not only constructed his own Number 2 single, "Beat Dis" but in 1988 the dance innovator also co-produced Neneh Cherry's Top 10 hits "Buffalo Stance" and "Manchild". In addition to his love for hip hop, the Brixton born producer was also a fan of electronic music, especially Depeche Mode, Fad Gadget and John Foxx. Although they'd worked on over a dozen tracks, unfortunately the Nation 12 album was never finished. The project imploded as "Electrofear" failed to match the impact of the project's first single. As the album was never delivered and the Rhythm King label eventually closed, the tapes from those recording sessions were also lost. Three years ago, two cassettes appeared (courtesy of long-time John Foxx fan, Simon Blackmore) which contained most of the material recorded by Nation 12. Out now via Tape Modern Records is Nation 12's "Electrofear" album as a limited Edition of 500 Copies only. The album includes John Foxx's collaboration with Tim Simenon, "Remember", plus Nation 12's second single, "Electrofear". However, most of the material has never been heard before. In total there are seventy-seven minutes of music including vocal-led John Foxx songs such as "Shadow Dancing", "Your Kisses Burn" and "She Was", as well as very different versions of "Cities of Light" and "Invisible Women". All material was restored and mastered at Serendipity. To listen to sound samples from this release click below.Source: Newsletter
