Label: Ultra Music

Depeche Mode enlist Wet Leg for remix of Wagging Tongue from Memento Mori

Dance music group Ten City return with their first new music in 25 years this week.

After scoring hits with Devotion, Right Back To You and That’s The Way Love Is in the late ’80s, original member Byron Stingily (lead singer & songwriter) teams up with renowned electronic music producer Marshall Jefferson with new track Be Free, offering up the perfect hybrid of house and disco.

“Be Free encompasses the spirit of Dance and House Music! Many times people focus on our differences but Be Free speaks to how we are more alike than different,” says Byron of the release.

“It is a song about respecting and appreciating our differences!”

Martin Gore – The Third Chimpanzee EP

Label: Mute

Songwriter and founding member of Depeche Mode, Martin Gore, returns with his brand new, five-track instrumental EP, The Third Chimpanzee.

Arriving five years after Martin released his acclaimed instrumental album, MG, the collection features the single Howler, which plays out like a recurring nightmare that gets more vivid as time passes.

“I re-synthesized my voice and used warped delays and other manipulation effects on Howler.  The end result was a sound that wasn’t quite human, more monkey like.” says Martin of the track.

“I really liked the idea of blurring the lines between monkeys and humans. Sometimes I think we just feel that we’re so evolved, and that we’re so much better. I have been questioning that quite a lot recently.”
