There are remixes for their latest single by Stuart Price, Ferry Corsten and Armin Van Buuren.
from Ferry's MySpace:
Ferry Corsten remixes The Killers "Human"
With the introduction of 'Human' as the first single of the highly anticipated, new The Killers album 'Day And Age', Universal music began their search for the perfect remixer. The search ended this month when they commissioned Dutch superstar Ferry Corsten, who is widely known as a pioneer and producer of electronic/dance music, as well as a world-renowned DJ and remixer.
Ferry Corsten's remix was a special request to which Corsten replied: 'I'm extremely honored by the request and the opportunity to remix the first single from The Killers new album. I felt it was important to keep the original rock character of the song intact and at the same time, I delivered a remix which I felt would fit in perfectly in the clubs worldwide.'
“Human” is produced by Stuart Price a.k.a. Jacques Lu Cont, who has produced tracks for Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Missy Elliot, Seal and Keane.
The original single version of 'Human' is currently available via download stores, the album “Day And Age” is set for release on November 21 via Universal Music. Ferry Corsten's remix will be part of a package that will also include Stuart Price and Armin van Buuren mixes.
On November 1st, Ferry Corsten will present the second edition of the event Full on Ferry – The Masquerade at Ahoy’ Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Have any of the mixes been released yet? I really love this song, it renewed my interest in The Killers again.

Armin's take on this song is great... can't wait to hear how Ferry's sound like.

Armin's mix is the best IMO!=D I like the trance feeling with the song, specially on the Dub mix (which has minimal vox)
Stuart is great too, but I like the dub more, it is totally different (and better) than the vocal Mix. =)
Morel, althought is very similar than the original song, is still good and radio friendly. I wonder why the Club mix wasn't included on the promo.
Ferry Corsten, it sounds like it was a "Armin's mix rip-off" lol, it's has potential but there's something missing on it that, at the end, makes the remix kinda boring.
Ocelot is a mess, more like a dub mix, with lots of vocoder effects. I didn't like it at all.

Armin's is definitely the "pick of the litter." I mean that in a good way! I am more and more impressed with The Killers. Their songs are all good and the dance mixes are usually excellent. A highly underappreciated band, I think.
