In an interview for www.thelastmiles.com, John Potoker was asked about the Blue Monday remix. John Potoker stated:
"It's funny, because I forget how many fans New Order has, and who those fans are. For example, [producer/composer/audio specialist] "BT" Brian Transeau is a really talented younger guy. We got to talking one day and I went see how his studio was set up, because I love his work, and he was telling me: "Yeah man! That New Order stuff, it's amazing!" I worked through Quincy Jones on that, because his record label Qwest had New Order [on its roster] in the States. Quincy came by that session and I did keyboard overdubs with a player called Robbie Buchanan. Robbie and Quincy knew each other. I got to hang with Q and talk about the track, and that was just a thrill - to be in the presence of Q was just incredible". Full interview here.
