First came word Martin was featured on the recent Bomb The Bass record; then that he was working on new material with Vince Clarke and appearing alongside Alan Wilder at a Recoil event. Now comes word that Martin is going to be appearing alongside Gary Numan on the upcoming MOTOR record.
Gary Numan will be joining Recoil on the last two German dates. He, alongside Ade Fenton, will be special guest DJs for both the Berlin and Dresden Recoil shows! Tickets for the event are selling fast, so get them as soon as possible. Links to get tickets after the jump!
Alan just emailed us to confirm that Martin is indeedilidoo appearing at the Recoil event in Santa Ana. Al writes: “We are very excited to bring you news of an exclusive one show-only guest DJ appearance at Recoil’s event at Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana, CA on 24th October. A certain Mr Martin L. Gore will be appearing to DJ at an aftershow DM/Recoil party. Martin has graciously agreed to appear just for this event to spin a collection of his favourite tracks. Many will be aware that Martin likes to DJ occasionally and reveal his enthusiasm for electronica.”
Depeche Mode web-guy Daniel Barassi posted a teaser video on YouTube, suggesting (should we say “confirming”?) that Martin Gore will be appearing at one of the Recoil events scheduled for the US this fall. Specifically, the Santa Ana show on October 24. The YouTube video shows Alan, then Martin with their respective initials; then the coordinates of Santa Ana followed by the date. The video can be seen after the jump.
Yes, people, you read that absolutely right. Martin is working on a new project with former band-mate, Vince Clarke. So far very little is known, apart from one a single title: “Zaat”. The former Depeche Mode/Yazoo-man revealed the collaboration via Twitter, saying simply: “Am working on the track ‘Zaat’. Collaborating with Martin (Gore) (from Basildon)”.
Recoil are heading back to Germany for 2 more much demanded shows! Alan and crew will return to Germany for a show in Berlin at Postbahnhof on Friday November 26th followed by a gig the next night in Dresden at Zeitenstroemung on Saturday November 27th!
