On 6 June 2011, Depeche Mode will release Remixes 2: 81-11 on Mute. An inspiring
collection of new and classic mixes of material covering their entire career, the album
includes remixes of tracks from their 1981 debut Speak And Spell, through to 2009's Sounds
Of The Universe, and is the follow-up to 2004's million-plus selling Remixes 81-04. These
remixes reinforce Depeche Mode's standing as one of the world's most influential and
innovative acts.

and this new compilation includes classic mixes from M83, UNKLE, Trentemøller, François
Kervorkian and Dan The Automator, alongside all-new mixes from Stargate, Eric Prydz,
Karlsson & Winnberg (from Miike Snow) and Röyksopp. In addition to this, the expanded
editions include exclusive remixes by former band members Vince Clarke and Alan Wilder -
the first time either artist has remixed tracks for their former colleagues.
