Mirror’s Edge parties it up with world’s best DJs for Remix Album

Mirror’s Edge (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) just gets cooler by the minute. Not only does it have a cool gameplay, it’s also got a cool soundtrack. DICE has announced that they will be releasing a Remix album in conjunction with the game’s release, and it’ll feature the world’s best DJs.

“Are you kidding me??!?” These were the words that came out of my mouth as soon as I read Electronic Arts‘ press release on the upcoming Remix Album for (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3).

There sure are a lot of cause for me to be happily surprised with this album, you see. And thank God they weren’t kidding, too. Because while it’s nothing new to find artists and rock bands collaborating with game developers for soundtracks, this is the first I’ve heard of DJs giving their spin for a game album. And not just any DJs, but the best there is.

Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing for EA, says of the album:

A groundbreaking videogame demands and equally provocative theme song. We’ve taken an unprecedented approach to this track, bringing together several of the world’s top remixers to create an album that will not only cross genres and borders, but also redefine how great new music can be delivered to th world.

I so heart this guy already! Anyway, before I get even more carried away, Swedish rock/pop star Lisa Miskovsky will be on mic for the Mirror’s Edge theme song, “Still Alive”, while the following DJs are spinning their remixes:

• Benny Benassi
• Junkie XL
• Paul van Dyk
• Teddybears
• Armand Van Helden

But where’s Armin van Buuren? Sad face. No matter. Paul van Dyk and Benny Bennasi’s here. Am sold.

Mirror’s Edge Remix Album will have its worldwide digital release on November 11th, to be made in conjunction with t he game’s launch on November 14th. And for those folks who’ll grab a pre-order copy of the game at Best Buy in the U.S., you can also then pick up a music CD containing the theme song to Mirror’s Edge and with an exclusive remix by Benassi.

And since am sure most of you guys out there (like Chris C.) have no idea what the fuss is all about, here’s a little van Dyk tutorial. This video here should give you a good idea and feel for the Album remix that’ll come your way for DICE’s Mirror’s Edge.
