12:56 pm: Depeche Mode "Peace (Cosmicity Remix)" - PLEASE VOTE!
Okay, voting has started in the Depeche Mode remix contest. I could really use your help!

You can hear the Cosmicity remix here:

IF YOU LIKE IT, YOU HAVE TO "SPIN" IT TO VOTE FOR IT . That's what counts as a vote. To be able to "spin" it, rather annoyingly, you have to sign up for a beatport account. I know it's a pain, but I'll very much appreciate your vote! (If you have any trouble signing up for an account, this link will take you to the main page to do it: http://www.beatportal.com/remix/contest/depeche-mode-remix-contest/ )

Thanks again. I really appreciate your continued enthusiasm! And, should I lose the contest (as I suspect I might with SO many entries by pro remixers), your vote will definitely coax me into sending you a free MP3 of the track. (If by some miracle I won the contest, I wouldn't be able to send it to you because Depeche Mode would own it, but then you could buy it!)

Yes, I too have fallen victim to the silly Depeche Mode remix contest.

I do realize that it is very unlikely that I'll be able win due to the massive amount of talent entering (well-known DJs and artists) with tons more remixing prowess and recording tech behind them (not to mention the contest is sponsored by Beatport which is all about obscure variations of house music and DJ culture stuff - a million miles from my world), but the lure of doing a DM remix is just too great for a lifelong fan to ignore, I think.

Please note that you can't vote for it just yet, only listen. Voting starts next week. If you like what you hear, I ask that you please take the time to go back and vote next week when I post the new link. It'd make me feel good to have more than 0 votes, and I'd really appreciate it! :-)
