Depeche Mode Vs. New Order at Mad Planet
Though it carries traces of dance music and DJ culture’s more competitive elements, the term “vs.” usually ends up having more to do with coming together than facing off, suggesting the collaborative spirit and sample-based synergy of remixes and mash-ups. And while it’s safe to assume that an uplifting energy will pervade Mad Planet’s Depeche Mode Vs. New Order grudge match, once a gloomy gauntlet like this is thrown down, fans are kind of forced to pick sides. Regardless of the outcome, tonight should be musical catnip for those now-grown adults who spent their misunderstood teenage years wearing too much eyeliner and ruining their family’s annual Christmas photo.
