About this episode
Today’s Electronically Yours with Martyn Ware episode is a very special one. There are very few stone-cold electro-pop classic singles and Tainted Love is universally loved and respected. The man whose music filled a million dancefloors is Dave Ball, who together with Marc Almond created Soft Cell.
Dave (described as ‘quiet but menacing’ on the Soft Cell website) is a self-taught, minimalist electronic producer, who was heavily influenced by Northern Soul and the underground dance scene in the north. His later work includes the Grid, and fascinating collaborations with Psychic TV amongst many others. In fact, he never stops…
Ladies and gentlemen, sometimes it’s the quiet ones who make the most noise - Dave Ball.
