New Order Release ‘Be A Rebel Remixed’ EP
New Order have released an EP of remixes of their lockdown single, Be A Rebel, available on 12″ vinyl, CD and digital today (27 August). The release comes as the group prepare for their live return with a pair of gigs in Halifax (Piece Hall, 8 September) and Manchester (Heaton Park, 10 September).
Be A Rebel was released in the midst of lockdown in 2020 with a message to celebrate ourselves and appreciate what we have, even in hard times. Although the original track release was planned to coincide with dates that were subsequently postponed, the band felt it important to share new music with fans and now, as they ready their live return, the full set of remixes from some the best producers and DJs on the planet is released.
The 12” and CD both include previously unreleased remixes from Belgium producer and synth enthusiast Melawati – who records for Maceo Plex’s label – and Berlin based modular synthesist JakoJako as well as remixes and edits from Paul Woolford, Maceo Plex, Arthur Baker, Mark Reeder, Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris.
