New Order

New Order formed in 1980 in Manchester, United Kingdom, emerging from the ashes of Joy Division following Ian Curtis's suicide. The group consists of Bernard Sumner on vocals, guitar and keyboards, Stephen Morris on drums and keyboards, Gillian Gilbert on keyboards and guitar, Phil Cunningham on guitar and keyboards, and Tom Chapman on bass. Peter Hook served as the original bassist until departing in 2010. The band has released material under aliases including Be Music and Anne Ballard throughout their career.

New Order produces electronic music spanning house, electronica, and indie dance, with releases appearing on Mute Records and Juicy Music since 2015. Their sound combines synthpop foundations with electronic elements, drawing from their rock and alternative rock origins while incorporating dance-oriented rhythms. The group's recent output maintains their signature blend of electronic instrumentation with guitar-driven arrangements, delivering tracks suitable for both club environments and indie dance floors. Their releases on Mute Records demonstrate a consistent approach to merging electronic production techniques with traditional band instrumentation.
