Legendary dance producer Arthur Baker has today unveiled a special remix of New Order’s 2020 single Be A Rebel. 

It’s not the first time the Boston-born producer has worked with New Order, of course. He co-wrote the songs Confusion and Thieves Like Us with the band and has remixed countless others.

For his Be A Rebel remix, Baker has ‘housed’ up the track, toughening the beats and adding sweet backing vocals from Rockers Revenge’s Tina B and additional New Order bass guitar breaks from Tom Chapman. 

Also announced today and available for pre-order is the Be a Rebel 12” and CD (out 27 August), which brings together all 11 remixes of the track.
