Mexican festival BPM is steadily building an impressive reputation and it's perhaps not surprising to see that the festival has decided to launch its own tied-in DJ mix series via No.19 Music. The amazing Art Department are at the helm on this first installment, delivering a smooth blend of bouncy tech and deep vibes that come together beautifully . Among astounding artists like Deetron, Boris Horel, and Louie Fresco this mix has the fantastic remix that Matthew Johnson put together for VCMG's "Single Blip". Single Blip was the 2nd single from VCMG's album "Ssss" which saw a reunited Martin Gore...

This made me laugh and I just had to share. So I'm not proud to admit it, but I follow this cute Goth girl on Instagram who always post pictures of herself in the mirror wearing Depeche Mode and Siouxsie shirts etc. You know the type. I am as fascinated by her out of control narcissism as I am fascinated in seeing what shirt, record, or hairstyle she is rocking on any given day.

Brand new interview with Martin and Vince has just hit Youtube and it's a pretty fun interview to watch. Nothing ground breaking, but interesting all the same.

"Aftermaths", has just been released today chock full of remixes, so be sure to get yourself...

The 4th trailer to promote "Ssss" from VCMG is up and continues to be as bizarre as it is immensely fascinating as the previous trailers. It was posted up today on the Mute YouTube channel. If you're on there, be sure to follow them for all things Mute Records. Lots of good stuff, we highly recommend! I hope these videos will have some influence on the forthcoming Depeche Mode imagery. I love the rough edge to the simplicity of them. "Is Simplicity Best or Simply the Easiest?"..... perhaps, for me anyway. I don't know, just something cool about it... but that's all a matter of taste and what...

After some back and fourth on when this EP was gonna see the light of day, the release info on the third single from the Martin Gore/Vince Clarke collaboration known as VCMG is finally official. The "Aftermaths" EP hits the streets running on Aug 20th. There will be a 12" with remixes from LFO and Alva Noto as well as a digital single that will feature bonus remixes from Vince himself as well as Christoffer Berg and Gesaffelstein. It's great to get the info on this one and we look forward to it's release. Personally, I can't wait to add this 12" to my collection as I still obsess on vinyl singles.
