  1. DMX Krew Covers Soft Cell With Seedy Films

    Seedy Films along with Tainted Love, Sex Dwarf, Bedsitter and Say Hello, Wave Goodbye are excellent songs off of the now classic early 80s release Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret by Soft Cell. Soft Cell’s version is the perfect cut as part of the Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret album. It’s got a very sleazy, minimal sound and it’s dark and perfectly seedy as the title suggests. The album Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret is the soundtrack for the dark seedy underworld of downtown life. Unfortunately most folks know of Soft Cell for their cover of the Gloria Jones northern soul classic song Tainted Love. But anyone who’s a fan of Tainted Love should check out the album the song comes off of as it’s highly recommended by me!

    I was lucky enough to hear this new remake cover version of Seedy Films by DMX Krew about 10 years ago. The song has been given the new upbeat electro pop treatment and the darkness has been stripped that’s on the Soft Cell version. Whereas the Soft Cell version is perfect off their classic album this remake by DMX Krew works perfectly on it’s own. I still enjoy this remake by DMX Krew and listen to it every so often. If you haven’t heard of it then it’s time you should enjoy it too. Links below!

  2. Tainted Love (Underground Mix) by Impedance

    Soft Cell’s Tainted Love is classic and most anyone into music knows about Tainted Love by Soft Cell. Unfortunately most folks don’t know that Soft Cell’s Tainted Love is a cover itself. It’s originally a Northern Soul classic sung by Gloria Jones. But Gloria Jones didn’t make it a hit it was Soft Cell that made it a big hit. But did you know that it was also covered in 1989 by a band called Impedance? I should say a short lived act. Well you are going to find out. This is one of those rare finds that I first heard on Live 105 again and I absolutely still love it. The ‘Underground Mix’ has that deep dark acid bass sound to it and if you put your speakers up loud you can feel the bass in your bones. This is not an uplifting version but it is dark and sleazy perfect for those underground clubs where everything goes on.

    This Impedance version is basically a cover of the Soft Cell version and not the Gloria Jones version. Actually since Soft Cells version is is off of the classic Soft Cell album Non Stop Erotic Cabaret, this version by Impedance could have fit perfectly into that album You think? Perhaps right after Sex Dwarf!

    Enjoy!

  3. Sex Dwarf by Dirty Sanchez

    Ok! Sex Dwarf is already a pretty sleazy track by Soft Cell. Taken off of their masterpiece first release Non Stop Erotic Cabaret that contained the worldwide new wave hit Tainted Love, Sex Dwarf was not really really a hit for them. It wasn’t even released as a single but it made some waves in the late 80s and early 90s on Modern Rock and College radio stations. That is when I first heard the Soft Cell version of Sex Dwarf. I quickly fell in love with the song.

    Now we have a remake or cover shall we say by Dirty Sanchez that takes the original Sex Dwarf by Soft Cell and they add their signature electrosexual sleazy naughty sound to it. The Dirty Sanchez version comes off of their Really Rich Italian Satanists ep of four songs that includes the underground sleazier hit Fucking On The Dancefloor. You got to check out Dirty Sanchez if you haven’t already. If you are at all into electro or anything that sounds a bit 80s or if you are into RuPaul then Dirty Sanchez is up your alley.

    I do like the original Sex Dwarf as it’s much superior but I could really see the Dirty Sanchez version at some underground New York or San Francisco club.

    Lead singer Jackie Beat has been around for quite sometime now. Even appeared on the Wigstock Soundtrack.
