Telex announce ‘MAXI’, a 13-track album of extended versions on Mute

Belgian synthpop pioneers Telex will release ‘MAXI’ on December 4, 2026, via Mute Records. The album comprises thirteen extended versions drawn from original master tapes, featuring newly mixed and remastered tracks spanning the trio’s career from 1978 onward. The launch single is an extended version of their 1979 hit ‘Moskow Diskow’. Surviving members Dan Lacksman and Michel Moers revisited the archives to create these maxi renditions, which include classics like their vocoderized take on ‘Rock Around The Clock’ and their 1980 Eurovision entry ‘Eurovision’. The release arrives as a double album on transparent red and blue vinyl, CD, with digital versions following in 2027. Telex, founded by Marc Moulin, Lacksman, and Moers in Brussels in 1978, pioneered guitar-free electronic pop. Moulin died in 2008, leading the band to retire that year.
