Great find…good choice to put this remix of the song up there. It’s called the Roctakon Edit. The original of “Ceremony” is great, but this slight re-working of the song, by pumping up the bass just a bit, brings out the dance-ability of it, but keeps the appealing moodiness of it intact. New Order have always been so great at mixing melancholy moods with great dance beats, yet not being overly Goth or cartoonishly doomy about it, like many of their contemporaries from the ’80s. It’s great to see a DJ giving this song some exposure.
