Today,
New Order releases “
Be a Rebel [Remixes Part One]” which is comprised of three new remixes of their latest track, the band’s first new music in 5 years. These new versions – from New Order’s
Bernard Sumner, as well as international renowned DJs
Paul Woolford and
Maceo Plex – recommit the band’s dance floor legacy. Listen
here.
Cuban-American DJ and producer Maceo Plex made his name making techno records before moving into a variety of dancefloor-moving club music. Over the past year, he has remixed Faithless and Perry Farrell.
Leeds’ Paul Woolford is a prolific artist known for his wide variety of styles. Last year, he released four albums under his alter-ego Special Request and collaborated with Diplo for the single “Looking For Me.” He has previously remixed Disclosure, Depeche Mode, and Tom Walker. He explains, “
As someone from the North of England, shaped and schooled by the legacy of Factory records and acid house, New Order cast an indelible shadow,” says Paul.
“Their influence over youth culture is immeasurable for obvious reasons. Accordingly, I feel like I’ve been in training to work with them most of my life.” Bernard Sumner has revisited his earlier “Be a Rebel” remixes and combined the best into his Outlaw mix.
Last month, New Order released a suitably stunning video for the single. Spanish director
NYSU depicts a couple in turmoil using typically lavish and ultra-stylish visuals. Watch the video

New Order also released the
Renegade Spezial Edit of “Be a Rebel” in September, the result of Bernard Sumner’s collaboration on a capsule range for
adidas Spezial. This mix is an extended edit of the
Adidas _nwrdrSPZL promotional video soundtrack whose accompanying film features dancer Rentaro Nakaaki of the English National Ballet.
“Be a Rebel” is available now on 12” vinyl and as a digital bundle with new remixes. Remixes featured on the single include
Bernard's Renegade Mix (the original version of the adidas Spezial ad soundtrack) and
Stephen Morris’ T34 Mix, as well as
Bernard’s Renegade Instrumental Mix. Purchase the limited dove grey 12”
here and stream the digital bundle

“Be a Rebel,” with its message to celebrate ourselves and appreciate what we have, even in hard times, was originally planned as a release ahead of New Order’s tour this autumn. But with live shows on hold and their dates re-scheduled to 2021, the band felt it important to share new music with fans. “
In tough times we wanted to reach out with a new song. We can’t play live for a while, but music is still something we can all share together. We hope you enjoy it… until we meet again.” – Bernard Sumner
New Order recently released the definitive collection of their 1983 studio album
Power, Corruption & Lies via Warner Music.
New Order are: Bernard Sumner, Gillian Gilbert, Stephen Morris, Tom Chapman and Phil Cunningham
