Here is a newly surfaced dub remix version of the commercially unreleased Ralphi Rosario remix of Garbage's track "Bleed Like Me" which was progressed to single status in North America in the summer of 2005. Ralphi Rosario, a reknowned Chicago house DJ with remix credits for Madonna ("Love Profusion") and many others, was commissioned by Interscope/Geffen to remix both "Bleed Like Me" and Gwen Stefani's "Cool" for club play. Both remixes got rejected for release and, as Ralphi noted on his website blog at the time, leaked on the internet around August/September 2005.

This new surfaced dub version seems to have been floating around on P2P recently, I became aware of the title a few months ago and the mix dropped into my lap by another fan who located it. I quite like this, it's more in line with the mid 2000's harder house sound than the vocal mix is.
In the end, Geffen's remix A+R team chose remixes of "Bleed Like Me" by Eric Kupper to service to club play. Those mixes peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club/Play chart in September 2005.
🩸The 2024 remastered and expanded edition of Garbage's Bleed Like Me album is out April 5th worldwide - it includes b-sides, additional tracks, demos, alternate versions and previously promo-only remixes by Eric Kupper, Ils and Devil's Gun. 🩸
⚠️ Please note that neither the Ralphi Rosario vocal mix nor the dub version are included on the Bleed Like Me 2024 remaster, and I've been told from the horses mouth that there is currently no plans for an expanded digital version. If that changes, then I'll happily remove this.
