ERASURE / YAZOO / DEPECHE MODE Legend VINCE CLARKE is all set to play, as Disc Jockey, his first DJ Set in New York City at Le Poisson Rouge NYC this coming August 3rd at 11:00 pm. Tickets: https://ticketprophet/events/9323/orders/new Vince Clarke is an electronic music pioneer whose analog synths, samples and chilly beats have accounted for some of the most memorable chart-topping hits and toe-tapping dance grooves of the last three decades. He is a founding member of Depeche Mode and writer of many of their most seminal and beloved tracks, including “New Life,” “Dreaming Of Me,” and “Photographic” from the group’s debut “Speak And Spell” album, as well as the classic single “Just Can’t Get Enough,” cited by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the100 Greatest Pop Songs Of All Time. Following his departure from Depeche in 1981, Clarke demoed a new song “Only You,” with a hometown acquaintance, then unknown Basildon blues and punk vocalist, Alison Moyet. The massive success of the track inspired the pair to record an entire album as Yazoo (Yaz in the U.S.), one of the first, and still most influential, male/female pairings in synth pop. Their two classic albums, “Upstairs At Eric’s” and “You And Me Both” not only set the standard for innovation in songwriting, composition and production in their own time, but pointed the way to the future for all the artists who followed in their wake. The 12” mix of “Situation” remains a benchmark in the history of dance music and virtually began the long love affair between alternative music and club culture.
