Warner Brothers and BOI Magazine have joined together to bring the new Depeche Mode Remix CD Promotion to Chicago. We are hosting the promotion in three exclusive locations. Hunters in Elk Grove Village, Crew close to Boystown and Jackhammer, for those of you way up North.

Most of you may remember the hard bass lines and haunting lead vocals of Depeche Mode, running to the dance floor as soon as that recognizable beat first hit the speakers. Well, at last we can do it again. Depeche Mode - Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher - are unique. For nearly 25 years they have been making groundbreaking music, which has influenced generations of artists. Depeche Mode Remixes 81-04 was released on October 25th on Mute Records, and October 26th on Reprise Records.

Depeche Mode have always been at the vanguard of remix culture since its inception, and the history of Depeche Mode is inextricably linked with the history of the remix. Very early on in their career the band worked closely and extensively with up and coming remixers who would go on to become pivotal figures in the field including Francois Kevorkian, Adrian Sherwood, William Orbit, Portishead and Air.

"Remixes 81-04" is a 2-disc set spanning over 20 years of Depeche Mode's pioneering remixes. Almost a greatest hits collection, the album is a compendium of Depeche Mode classics remixed by some of the best remixers in the world, including Underworld, Goldfrapp, Air, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Timo Maas, Flood and of course Depeche Mode themselves. It is also released as a limited edition triple disc set, featuring a bonus disc of highly collectable and rare remixes. At once a celebration but also an historical record of the evolution of the remix, the album is a fascinating and deeply rewarding document of an emerging art form.

"It's a dangerous business messing with the classics", confides Ewan Pearson, "I always swore blind I'd never do a remix of something I loved so much, but of course, when you're asked it's impossible to say no.

Martin Gore reflecting on the Depeche Mode remix era said, "It's an amazing feeling to sit back and listen to such an interesting mix of artists take the spirit of Depeche Mode and add another dimension".
