Martin (Dave Ball Hallowe'en Dub of Doom)

Soft Cell 'Martin' Dave Ball Dub of Doom Hallowe'en Remix Soft Cell release their classic track ‘Martin’ as a single for the very first time this Hallowe’en. This special Dave Ball Hallowe'en Dub of Doom features excerpts from the 1970s cult horror film 'Martin', which originally inspired Marc and Dave to write the track at Leeds Polytechnic in 1980. It's a promo-only mix, with a special video compiled by talented young producer Ewan McWilliam, who is also currently studying at Leeds Beckett University, formerly Leeds Polytechnic. Originally featured as one side of a bonus 12” released as part of the original The Art of Falling Apart album in 1983, 'Martin' has since become one of the most popular and enduring Soft Cell deep cuts. A mainstay of Soft Cell live shows since original release, it remains today a cult classic, revered by alternative music fans, and one of the biggest all-time dancefloor fillers of the gothic movement. The new Dub of Doom has been serviced to DJs and clubs around the world this week ahead of the upcoming Hallowe'en season. 'Martin' will be released on a limited-edition deluxe black and red 12” vinyl single, as well as a download EP across all digital platforms on Friday 31st October. It is available to order now from the Soft Cell store at softcell.co.uk/store 'Martin' features in several versions as part of the upcoming super deluxe 6CD boxset reissue of classic 1983 album 'The Art Of Falling Apart', released 31st October via Universal Music.
