So this is the 2nd Depeche-Mode-Mixtape called „Anticipation“. I strongly believe that music you make or mix can anticipate future events, things that we might not know consciously but that are unconsciously already there. The same is true for this mixtape. »»»»
Depeche Mode
State of Emergence – DepecheMode Mix-2011 #1
This is a mix of Depeche Mode songs with lots of remixes, live versions and edits recorded from vinyl. Depeche Mode fits well on the cassette format with side a/b dramaturgy.
It was part of the radiobroadcast „30 years of Depeche Mode“ I made around christmas 2011 because their first release was in 1981. It featured both of the mixes. Eventhough you can feel the 80s or 90s strongly in their albums, to me their music is pretty ahead of time and I am glad they managed to keep their music sounding like the present tense. »»»»
