Paweł Gołębski

A journalist and radio presenter, known as the host of the popular "Good Morning in Wrocław" show on Radio RAM. During the pandemic, he and his colleagues spoke about life in lockdown, using music from Depeche Mode's acclaimed album "Violator." The band recorded nine songs, including "Enjoy the Silence" and "Personal Jesus," for which music videos were also created. The original project attracted the attention of fans, who quickly began demanding concerts.

Waldemar Maszyński

A pianist and arranger, he collaborates with leading artists and on a variety of musical projects. His portfolio includes concerts with Mesajah, Roger Treece at the Sudecka Philharmonic, the duo Chillove, collaborations with theaters, radio events like Piano Day with Leszek Możdżer, and evenings of Argentine tango. At GMW, Maszyński skillfully blends vintage and modern styles, enriching his arrangements with the original tones characteristic of Depeche Mode.

Marcin Wełyczko

A guitarist who honed his craft, drawing inspiration from masters like Steve Vai, Frank Gambale, and Allan Holdsworth, he introduces his own guitar riffs into his interpretations of Depeche Mode songs, complementing Maszyński's electronic arrangements, and also recreates Martin L. Gore's signature solos.
