Vortex at Spacebar

Depeche Mode Vortex at Spacebar was more than a party! (though I didn't actually play that song!) Thanks to everyone who came out to dance to the Biggest Synth Band of all Time! (I just made that up, but maybe?)

Here is the playlist and the photos of what I played. More than half (36 songs) DM! I hope you got your Mode worth!

Next Vortex Friday (May Day!) May 1st--just a "normal" Vortex!
