Premiere: Marc Almond Feat. Beth Ditto - When The Comet Comes

Absolute legend Marc Almond is back with a brand new pop album! The Velvet Trail drops on March 9th and features 16 brand new tracks. H e a v e n! Lead single When The Comet Comes has amazing Beth Ditto (!) as a duet partner. Over a real nice and fluffy beat we're getting two of our favourite voices, both equally as distinct and unique. The whole album is produced by Chris Braide who previously has worked with people like Lana Del Rey, Beyoncé and Britney Spears. Pretty intriguing to hear an easy accessible song coming to life with the power of Almond and Ditto. Listen below to the really great BBC Radio Leeds interview from Monday - song at the 06:04 mark. We'll post a HQ stream when it becomes available. If you can't wait head to iTunes to listen to it there. Enjoy! Thoughts? Thank you Michael! 

Free Download: Soft Cell - Tainted Love (DANK Remix)

In 1981 Soft Cell were down to the last chance from their label to ignite chart success after all their previous releases had failed in that aspect. They decided to cover Gloria Jones' obscure 1964 Northern Soul track Tainted Love and completely rework it. The result - a worldwide hit, reaching #1 in 17 countries and rewriting what a cover version could be. Miami Beach/Chicago DJ Dan Klokow builds on the greatness of thinking outside the box and infuses this utter classic with a deep house vibe and a new killer bassline. The distinct sounds of the Soft Cell original are all there and hearing 'em juxtaposed with a contemporary really sounds awesome. Not to mention Marc Almonds vocals that truly are forever. Amazing for a Friday night! Enjoooy!
