A musical legacy:  Almost thirty years' worth of electronic music.

If you don't know who Depeche Mode are...  Here are the basics.

There were these four guys in England.

They started an electronic band, they recorded an album, and then the main songwriter left.

Then the fuzzy-headed guy started doing most of the songwriting, and they got a new guy, and they all stuck together recording music for about thirteen years.  The lead singer picked up a heroin habit, died for a couple of minutes, then dropped said heroin habit.

The new guy left, and then the remaining three continued to do albums for another, well, thirteen years.  That's about where we are now.

Since their inception, Depeche Mode have grown to be considered one of the most important and influential electronic acts of all time.

Sounds of the Universe...

This party is a celebration of the brand new Depeche Mode album, Sounds of the Universe.  It is Depeche Mode's 12th studio album, and it is set to hit retail outlets on April 21st.  The debut album, "Wrong," has one of the most dark and disturbing videos to come along in a while.  (Click here to check it out... once you get there, scroll down a bit for the video.)

The music will include plenty of great tracks from the new album, but will also range all the way through their history back to their first album, Speak and Spell.

Special DJ TMJ Pre-Show Set:  7:30 PM

DM fan and collector TMJ will start things off at 7:30 with a special pre-show DJ set, combining some of his favourite Mode tracks (including some of his own remix productions and mash-ups) with some Depeche Mode cover songs by other artists.

The Main Event:  DJ Badger:  9:00 PM

At 9:00, Badger kicks off the main event:  Four hours of Depeche Mode, with a few Dave Gahan side project tracks thrown in.  This set will include a slew of new tracks, classic hits, ultra-rare promotional and DJ-only remixes, and even a selection of amazing B-sides that only the most die-hard Mode fans will recognize.

Badger has stated that for this event, "The emphasis of the set will be on track selection and overall energy, not the technical mixing itself.  So, you can expect most of the songs to be played in their entirety... not just a verse's worth before moving on to the next track."
