The Making of Blue Monday – How New Order Built an Accidental Masterpiece + Song Recreation

“Blue Monday” by New Order was a revolution in electronic music. Built with gear like the Oberheim DMX, Moog Source, and Emulator, this 1983 track redefined dance music, despite never being meant for live performance. In this exploration, I’ll break down the history, the synths, and the production techniques that made Blue Monday the best-selling 12” single of all time as well as how the floppy disk-inspired cover design by Peter Saville, gave the ultimate look at how Blue Monday changed music forever.
