Dream On  :  I Feel Loved

About the Contest

ACIDplanet and Reprise Records present the biggest remix event ever to hit the Internet. The Depeche Mode Exciter Remix.

Two tracks from Depeche Mode’s newest release "Exciter" are available for remixing: "Dream On," the single that’s ruled the rock and dance charts, and "I Feel Loved," which hasn’t even been released to radio yet! Pure, perfect electronic pop loops cut straight from the boards. Yours to remix. Or create something new. Three ways to win: you can remix "Dream On." You can remix "I Feel Loved." And you can create something new by mixing both tracks together.

Entering the contest is simple. Just go to the Get ACID page to download ACID XPress, the free eight-track version of ACID, our award-winning loop-based music creation tool. Download some loops, too – as many as you need to start. In ACID, just click on the sound you want, and paint it into your mix. You’ll be creating new Depeche Mode music in minutes. Once you’ve finished your mix, return to this page and click the “Upload it to ACIDplanet” button. Submit your track and you’ve entered the contest.

Additional un-acidized loops—completely different from the loops offered here—are available at Reprise Records. There’s also an upload feature for non-ACID mixes.

The Depeche Mode Exciter Remix. Everything you want in a remix contest, and more. Get excited.

About the Artist

What's left to say about Depeche Mode? Twenty years and 50 million albums later, the band is still fresh, authentic, and legitimate. Their genre-crossing style of synth rock garners them new fans with each album release.

"Exciter," the band's tenth studio album, finds Depeche Mode in solid form. The album signals a new era of creativity for Dave Gahan, Andrew Fletcher, and Martin Gore. The sounds (electronic and acoustic) are strikingly varied, the songs are emotionally rich, and Dave's vocals are even more resonant than before.

Dave says the tracks on the new album "could have been songs from various different years of Depeche Mode. It's almost like a greatest hits of songs that haven't been released yet."

"Dream On," the lead single from "Exciter," is certain to make any future DM greatest hits collection. Acoustic guitars, synths, powerful vocals, an almost drum'n'bass rhythm; it's the stuff from which Depeche Mode classics are born. "I Feel Loved" continues in the same vein - new classics from a band that's never gone out of style.

ACIDplanet is proud to present "Dream On" for remixing. All the elements that have made Depeche Mode one of the most enduring bands to emerge from the New Wave are yours to work with. And win stuff while you're at it, too!
