A few months ago, we reported that two members of eighties synth-master band Depeche Mode were reuniting for a techno project. Now, the project has a name!

Vince Clarke and Martin Gore have revealed that the name of their new project will be their initials – VCMG. Their first 5-track EP of remixes is titled Spook and will be available on Beatport on November 30 – Spook also marks the first musical release for the pair in over 30 years.

On their website, Vince explained “I’ve been getting into and listening to a lot of minimal dance music and I got really intrigued by all the sounds… I realised I needed a collaborator… so it occurred to me to talk to Martin.”

Vince Clark was one of the four co-founders of the band in 1980 – but he left a year later citing creative differences, and went on to co-found subsequent projects Yazoo and Erasure.

Now, if we can just get that Depeche Mode tour to happen!
