Orgy - Blue Monday Apr 2026

The journey of "Blue Monday" began in Manchester, where New Order sought to bridge the gap between 70s disco and the emerging dance scene. Their version famously became the best-selling 12-inch single of all time, though ironically, their label Factory Records allegedly lost money on every copy sold due to an expensive, intricate record sleeve designed like a floppy disk.

The story of Orgy’s "Blue Monday" is a classic tale of a "happy accident" meeting the raw, industrial energy of the late 90s. While New Order’s 1983 original was a groundbreaking synth-pop hit, Orgy’s 1998 version transformed it into a definitive anthem of the and industrial rock era.
