Jonathan “Baron” Kessler, the longtime manager of Depeche Mode, will be honoured with the Peter Grant Award at the Sixth Annual Artist & Manager Awards during the November 2017 event in London coordinated by the Music Managers Forum (MMF) and Featured Artist Coalition (FAC). We hope you’ll enjoy it and please share with your DM friends. You can listen to the other tributes on our Soundcloud page, FYI. If you enjoyed our audio tributes to Violator and Black Celebration, we hope you’ll feel the same about our MFTM tribute. No downloads, this is a streaming only audio tribute.

We’ve mixed it all together to take you back to one of many amazing moments in the history of Depeche Mode.Īnother project we were working on to help commemorate the occasion fell through, but we’re really excited to bring you this audio tribute that includes interviews from the era as well as insights from people involved in making the record and more. To honor the occasion, we have put together an audio tribute to the album, the band, and the MFTM era featuring audio clips, remixes, and a few live tracks from the record that the band has played through the years.

An epic album, amazing artwork, and memories for so many Devotees. This album and the tour took DM to new heights that are very well documented, so we won’t bore you with the details. I can only imagine how surreal it would be for the members of the band when something they’ve released hits a landmark anniversary. just writing that sentence was surreal for me. STRANGELOVE –The Depeche Mode Experience brings a thoroughly enjoyable and staggeringly authentic DM concert to concertgoers, and connects with international audiences, wherever the group performs.Įlectric Duke Juliean Shah-Taylor and The Band That Fell to Earth, his internationally known touring David Bowie tribute band, have wowed audiences around the world with renditions of tunes that made Space Oddity famous.Today marks the 30th Anniversary of Depeche Mode’s monumental “Music For The Masses” album! Wow. Their Global Spirit tour, continuing into 2018, has set world box office records. Their enormous fan base encompasses all ages and crosses every demographic.

With over 120 million records sold and a rabid international fan base, Depeche Mode’s status as elder statesmen of electronica is cemented. Accuracy and authenticity is a hallmark of the project, with the band employing as many authentic vintage synthesizers and samplers as possible in recreating the classic and widely varied sounds of Depeche Mode’s discography. These accomplished musicians have a reverence and devotion to Depeche Mode’s body of work that has driven them to recreate every possible detail and bring the “Music To The Masses” in a concert setting that transcends a mere tribute production and feels more like a shared communal fan club celebration of halcyon days of new wave and emerging electronica. Custom-produced multimedia projection visuals delight the concertgoer’s senses and enhance the illusion that they’re witnessing an actual Depeche Mode concert. Truly evocative of a Depeche Mode arena/stadium stage show the scale of STRANGELOVE’s theatrical stage production is unparalleled, save for the real article. The visual presentation with stage set pieces and in-show costume changes reflect different eras of Depeche Mode’s story which spans almost four decades! No detail of STRANGELOVE’s presentation has been overlooked. Songs from throughout the Depeche canon are lovingly recreated from favorites on DM’s debut Speak and Spell to the newest fare from ‘Mode’s latest- 2017’s “Spirit”. Los Angeles based STRANGELOVE-The Depeche Mode Experience delivers a career spanning, pitch perfect “best of” concert that transports the listener through time and touches on several key points in Depeche Mode’s illustrious career.
