There is, however, a little insight to the promotional plan - “Overall, we’re targeting existing fans of the artists as well as fans/DJs of techno and EDM.” Also, there was a mention of a potential remix contest in the works too!

An Introduction To… is a series of Mute compilations. Neither a “best of” nor a “greatest hits” but rather a series of compilations giving a revealing introduction to the world of Mute’s Artists.

HOME recommends: SixToes!

Most of our readers should be familiar with the name SixToes, having remixed a couple of Depeche Mode tracks in recent years. But what you might not know is that the London based sextet have an absolutely stunning new video out as a teaser from their forthcoming album. This is definitely a band to keep your eyes on – especially if you’re a Depeche Mode fan.
