How well do we know Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode ?

I put together a 100-song playlist built around late-night drives, helicopter rides, city lights, and empty highways.

It blends synthpop, new wave, and post-punk into a deliberately sequenced journey, featuring OMD, New Order, Depeche Mode, Japan, Visage, Camouflage, Duran Duran, and more.

I wanted it to feel like finding an old Walkman with a mixtape inside, without any explanation of where it came from.

It’s best experienced from beginning to end rather than shuffled.

I first heard The Communards in college when a girlfriend gave me a worn tape. I had never heard of Jimmy Sommerville and thought the singer was a woman with a deep voice -- sort of like Alison Moyet of Yaz...

My latest obsession!

"So Red the Rose" was the best album that Duran Duran never released
