Dave Ball was a prodigiously talented, warm-hearted & wonderful person to work with over the 7 years I've represented Soft Cell. It's been terribly sad to represent his passing, yet I have done my 'Not Dad' proud in getting the news everywhere

Rest in Power Dave! www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...
Dave Ball, synth-pop hitmaker as one half of Soft Cell, dies aged 66
Synth player and producer had huge success with Tainted Love and other Soft Cell hits, and later returned to UK Top 10 with dance project the Grid

ICYMI....my very good friend, Phil King @junkshopper.bsky.social, has been involved in a compilation album. 'All The Young Droids: Junkshop Synth pop 1978-1985' is a new 2LP/2CD compilation that charts the underbelly of the epoch-defining sound of the synthesiser in 80s popular music. More info: -
"..This is the way the ‘70s ended : not with a blood-curdling bang but with a cheap, synthesized, emasculating whimper.”
NICK KENT, NME."

'All The Young Droids - Junkshop Synth-Pop 1978-1985' 24 synth pop tunes that aimed for outer space - but crash landed in the bargain bins. Out June 26th 2025.

Weapons grade music and synth chat with Scott, we got on. He’s posting it in two parts because it’s just too powerful to hear it all in one go.
