New Wave “A Date with Depeche Mode”

Genre: new wave

Nouvelle Vague is a musical collective from the Seine, created and led by Marc Collin, who achieved great success with their signature versions of the famous new wave songs in the style of bossa nova. The group will perform on January 30, 2027 at the Warsaw club Proxima promoting their new album — “A Date with Depeche Mode”, recorded between Rio de Janeiro and Paris, on which eleven international female singers face the Depeche Mode repertoire. This is the first chapter of a new publishing series. The release of the album is scheduled for October 2026. On their seventh album Nouvelle Vague, for the first time in history, they devote all material to the work of one band — Depeche Mode. Thirteen iconic pieces have been rearranged and interpreted by new voices. The album was recorded in Rio with the participation of Brazilian musicians, creating a musical dialogue between the soul of Brazil and the timeless world of Depeche Mode, presented in the characteristic Nouvelle Vague style.

The first single from the album is the duet “Enjoy the Silence” performed by Skye Edwards (Morcheeb) and Larry Love (Alabama 3). Two voices, two worlds, one song.
The concert will be opened by the Łódź band Hedone.

Hedone was founded in the early 90s in Łódź. The band belongs to the group of the most innovative, unclassifiable formations. It is safe to say that it is an extremely valuable, even inseparable element of the Polish music scene of the last four decades. After 15 years of silence, Hedone returned with a new album “2020”, which was released on December 31, 2020. Maciej Werk records records rarely, but when he enters the studio it means that he has something important to say. The same was true of “2020,” arguably the most musically mature album in the band's history. After the ear-ringing “Werk”, the contrasting “Sanct.v.arium” and the ensemble “Playboy”, it was time for twelve compact songs, arranged into a coherent story about the passing twelve months, and above all emotions and thoughts that were relevant in 2020 and will be relevant in the future.After the release of “2020”, the band in a new composition with keyboard with Wojciech Królem (Clicks, Controlled Collapse) and singer Izes played concerts at Castle Party (2021), Jarocin (2022), Opole Alternative (2022), Summer Dying Loud (2022), Łódź Summer Festival, among others (2023) and many others.In 2022, the long-awaited reissue of the debut album “Werk” from 1994 is released by GAD Records.

In 2024, the album “600 Years of Solitude” was released, which consists of nine Polish songs telling about passing away and leaving, but also about maturity and life fulfillment. The material was co-produced and mixed by Marcin Bors. At the moment, Hedone is working on new material. The first single “I Can't Tell You Anything” will be released on August 28, 2026.
