MIX(ES) USED FOR EDIT:
Gus Gus Mix

DESCRIPTION:
In 1998, I was a few years into my contract services for Warner Brothers. I was hired for radio edits, as well as in-house DVDs, ringtones and websites.

I always was surprised that something I loved (editing) could earn me money. The surprise was even larger when I got the chance to edit the music of bands I loved. While I would have done Depeche Mode radio edits for free, I was definitely not going to pass on a paycheck! :)

In 1998, I did two edits of Depeche Mode for Warners: The Gus Gus Mix and the Dan The Automator Mix of "Only When I Lose Myself". In the end, the label opted to only use the Gus Gus Mix fo promotion.

Originally only available on a very limited promo CD-R from Warners, and played on KROQ a few times by Richard Blade, here is my edit of the Gus Gus Mix of "Only When I Lose Myself".
