DEPECHE MODE AND SIRE/REPRISE RECORDS
BREAK NEW GROUND AS CLUB DJs COAST TO COAST DOWNLOAD SPECIAL REMIXES OF THE BAND'S NEW SINGLE "PRECIOUS"
DEPECHE MODE and their label Sire/Reprise–in conjunction with Pitch Control Marketing–set a precedent by inviting the 152 Billboard reporting club DJs to download digital copies of seven remixes of the group's new single "Precious" via pitchcontroldj.com. Over 100 DJs have downloaded both special U.K. and Victor Calderone dance remixes versions of the song–which debuted in clubs over Labor Day weekend–making the single the #2 Breakout on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play Chart. Featuring a cyber pulse matched to a glorious chorus, "Precious" is the first single from PLAYING THE ANGEL, the band's new album that's due out October 18.

PLAYING THE ANGEL is already receiving acclaim ahead of its release date. Robert Hanson at Remix magazine says, "This record stands shoulder-to-shoulder with their finest work," while Ernie Rideout at Keyboard calls the album "an electronic masterpiece."
DEPECHE MODE–DAVE GAHAN, MARTIN GORE and ANDREW FLETCHER-recently announced their North American arena tour will launch November 2 in Ft. Lauderdale and continue through mid-December. Supporting duties will alternate between the Bravery and the Ravonettes.
