Press Info:
Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore, has collaborated with artist and lyricist Cliff Damavandi on a haunting new track, ‘Cross Whisper’, featuring vocals from Gore’s daughter under a new project titled ‘MG x CD + JL =’.

Inspired by the blackbirds that appear in Gore’s garden before and after moments of loss and grief, the track features gritty, propulsive electronic beats that meet shimmering synth lines and haunting vocals to create an ethereal and hypnotic collaboration.

On this limited edition transparent green 12” single released via Mute, the original track sits alongside remixes from electronic mainstays Regis, Vera Grace, ANNA, Pye Corner Audio, and boothnavy.

Press Info:
Mute have announced the long-awaited remastered reissue of CODE, Cabaret Voltaire’s eighth studio album: out of print for many years, it remains a fan favourite. The 1987 album will feature new in-depth sleeve notes, focussed on the production and legacy of the album, and be available on limited edition “CODIFIED” marble vinyl and as a deluxe triple CD set featuring two bonus discs of remastered remixes from the time, plus unreleased remixes discovered in the archive.

CODE launches today with influential producer, writer and musician John Robie’s dub remix of ‘Thank You, America’, originally earmarked as the third single from the original release. Listen HERE

CODE captures the band at the height of their commercial and creative powers, marking the point that Richard H Kirk and Stephen ‘Mal’ Mallinder signed to EMI exposing them to a world of bigger budgets, but no compromise on their unique vision. The album became their most commercially successful with two singles – ‘Don’t Argue’ and ‘Here To Go’ – breaking the UK Official Singles Chart, and, explains Mal in the new sleevenotes, “This album captures a very interesting moment in time where we were moving into a technological world. Probably more than anything else Richard and I made together, CODE was a political record that we didn’t have to directly articulate as political, mostly because of what was going on in the background at that time.”

Ever prescient, CODE tapped into an increasingly uneasy relationship with technology, computers and programming that was creeping into all aspects of life, unpicking the codes of control to expose them – a preoccupation that would continue in Cabaret Voltaire’s work.

Featuring guest musicians – the saxophonist Simeon Lister, bassist Mark Brydon (Chakk) and Bill Nelson (Be-Bop Deluxe), the album was recorded at The Cabs’ Western Works studio in Sheffield, with Adrian Sherwood joining for pre-production before the sessions moved to Red Bus in London for mixing. The album was remastered by Denis Blackman (who has mastered or remastered every Cabaret Voltaire album for over 20 years), and work on the CODE reissue began 2019 with Richard H. Kirk – before his untimely death – and was completed using his notes in consultation with Stephen Mallinder and Kirk’s estate.

Originally active between 1973-1994, Cabaret Voltaire were formed by Richard H. Kirk, Stephen Mallinder and Chris Watson. After Watson’s departure in 1981, Richard H. Kirk and Stephen Mallinder continued until 1994 until – with Kirk as the sole remaining member – Cabaret Voltaire’s 2014 performance at Berlin’s Atonal festival. An interconnected series of releases – Shadow of Fear, BN9Drone and Dekadrone – followed in 2020 and 2021 before Kirk’s untimely passing in autumn 2021.

Press Info:
So, you thought you were sick of MUSICK? It gets worse: LAIBACH have just announced details of a companion piece to their recent album, out on 20 November 2026. MUSICK : ENCORE features previously unreleased material from original MUSICK sessions alongside brand new remixes from the likes of SILVERWINGKILLER, Richard X, The Lincolnshire Poacher and PUNCHBAG.

The album launches today, showcasing two distinct sides of the album: a brand new track, ‘This Is The End’, featuring Slovenian singer and musician Kaja Skrbinšek, and a new remix of ‘Love Machine’, featuring Senidah, one of the most distinctive voices in Balkan music today, by labelmates PUNCHBAG, who bring their own brand of unfiltered punk and ecstatic pop to their remix.

These two new tracks amplify the original themes of MUSICK, described by Uncut as a “meditation on music itself” and by Classic Pop as “…a hyperreal reflection of the sound of now”.

MUSICK and the new companion piece are a collection of undeniably catchy pop that revels in hyper-driven post-modernity. “Perhaps these are the final moments when creating music purely for enjoyment still carries broader significance – before alien, generative intelligence outplays and outperforms us all,” say Laibach. “So, we seized the moment.”

Guests and remixers on the album each bring new aspects to the Laibach machine, and include Kaja Skrbinšek (who features on new track ‘This Is The End’) plus Slovene sensation Senidah, who adds her distinctive vocals to ‘Love Machine’ (appearing on two mixes, by Mute labelmates PUNCHBAG, and on UK renegade mixer The Lincolnshire Poacher’s version).

Elsewhere on the album, electropop producer Richard X co-produced several tracks and remixes ‘Resistencia’; Ghanian artist Wiyaala, the “Lioness of Africa”, who they first saw in an underground club in Ljubljana, features on two new versions of ‘Musick’, the Unsick Version and a remix by Balžalorsky). Long-time collaborator Donna Marina Mårtensson, features on new track ‘#US’ while Manca Trampuš, the frontwoman of the Slovenian indie band Koala Voice, features on new track ‘Modern Talking’; Bojan Cvjetićanin, from Joker Out, one of Slovenia’s most successful contemporary rock bands, who guests on ‘Faith No More’, while Gregor Strasbergar from the band MRFY, one of the most compelling alternative acts in Slovenia, guests on ‘Resistencia (Richard X Remix)’.

Laibach continue their MUSICK tour this autumn with dates throughout Europe and the UK, including a performance at Islington Assembly Hall, London, on 29 September. For tickets and further tour announcements, visit the band’s live page.
