Andy Motke aka Dominatrix to win Martin Gore remix contest?
In association with BitTorrent, Martin Gore launched a remix competition for the track “Featherlight” taken from the “MG” album. The winning remix will be included on an upcoming digital EP, out October 2nd, 2015.
The EP will furthermore include remixes by Andy Stott, Virgil Enzinger, and Christoffer Berg, alongside two previously unreleased tracks.
We have listened to a whole bunch of these remixes, and only one seemed to jump out, namely the one executed by Andy Motke aka Dominatrix. Motke is not really unknown to Depeche Mode related remixes, he also completed a remix of “Heaven” which was actually a lot better than the rather daft original (including a lot of vintage Depeche Mode samples).
You can listen to both remixes below.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
