The Bandcamp release, *D＞E＞A＞T＞H＞M＞E＞T＞A＞L＞S*, initially lacked the Identity Clinic remix.. On December 26, 2020, the remix was added to the track list.

For this project, Panchiko also collaborated with artists CJ Mirra, Hugh Pascall, and Tongg.

We'd like to say how grateful we are to everyone for taking the time to work on their versions. We particularly enjoyed the music of CritARC, Cameron Simm', Griffin Ashburn and Skullboy's remixes, but our overall winner is by an artist called Identity Clinic from Columbus, Ohio! We've put the remix on our bandcamp page so take a listen! We love it!”
