New York based collective 8-Bit Operators, return with ‘Depeche Mode Tribute – Enjoy The Science’ (released June 10th), an electrifying and unique rework, officially endorsed by the timeless synth-pop band and curated by electronic music veteran Jeremy Kolosine aka Receptor.
‘Enjoy The Science’ features the world’s leading artists in the “chiptune” and “synthpunk” movements performing highly musical, lo-bit video-game hardware re-imaginings of 15 favorite Depeche Mode tracks, spanning the band’s incredible 30+ year career.
