Synth pop pioneers Soft Cell reissue their classic remix album 'Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing'

Saturday 17th May 2025

Synth pop pioneers Soft Cell reissue their classic remix album 'Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing' on the 20th June 2025 via Universal Music.

A rework of key moments from the electronic duo's seminal debut album 'Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret' alongside a couple of unreleased tracks, 'Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing' is hailed as one of the very first ever remix albums, and reached number 6 in the UK album charts in June 1982, inspiring generations of clubbers, DJs and remixers the world over. It was closely followed by The Human League - temporarily renamed as The League Unlimited Orchestra - releasing their own extended rework of 1981's electro pop classic 'Dare' in 'Love and Dancing'.

'Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing' channels the neon glamour and grit of Danceteria, Batcave, The Camden Palace and Studio 54 and still sounds fresh, menacing and ready to throw shapes in 2025.

This special club promo features brand new unreleased mixes from Way Out West’s Nick Warren, who with Nicolas Rada turns out two re-rubs of seminal 3am proto-house club classic ‘Memorabilia’. Other remixes of ‘Memorabilia’ come from electroclash guru The Hacker, plus Wally Funk and Mute Records supremo Daniel Miller, who produced the original debut single back in 1980.

This package also features Memorabilia flip side ‘A Man Could Get Lost’, remixed by DJ legend Jon Pleased Wimmin, plus two mixes each of ‘Insecure Me’ and ‘So’ by Hifi Sean.
The selection is completed with a brand-new remix of key album cut ‘Chips On My Shoulder’, plus two unreleased dub mixes of Soft Cell’s 1982 single ‘Torch’, remixed by MHC, and Erasure’s dub mix of ‘Tainted Love’ follow-up single ‘Bedsitter’.
