Benzin187 - Planet Italo Mixtape

No. is the tenth Soft Riot album by Glasgow-based Canadian synth artist Jack Duckworth (also known as JJD). Renowned in the European underground synth/post-punk scene for his signature sound, No. showcases Soft Riot‘s unique and auteur approach to the “darkwave/synth” genre, including elements of synthpop, italo disco and EBM.

With origins from the mid-nineties in the vibrant art-punk/hardcore dominating the West Coast American/Canadian underground at the time, he has clocked in over twenty five years of musical output in various bands and projects, including first-wave post-punk revivalists Radio Berlin (1998-2005) and industrial synth-punk collective A Luna Red (Gold Standard Labs, 1999-2003).

No. is the logical follow-up to When Push Comes To Shove, released in November 2019 on the Glasgow UK-based label Possession Records, which saw some critical acclaim in the increasingly diverse synthwave scene.

One can still hear any number of echoes of the spirits of original synth artists in his sound, while retaining a unique style of composition, style and subtle humour that fans have picked up in the artist's 10+ years of releasing music in this project. The introduction of expanded production techniques, experiments with vocal styles and tones, and stylistic shifts mark a progression of Soft Riot’s sound. The result is a snarkier, urgent and more playful, with a focus on pure synthpop, new wave, art-punk, proto-EBM as well as grittier synth-punk and post-punk tones.

Additional extended singles for tracks "A Spade Is Played Again" and "Linked Between Two Minds" available at https://softriot.bandcamp.com which contain the album version of the tracks, alternate versions, remixes and un-released tracks from the album sessions. Remixes provided by Halicon (Tim Krug of Hexadiode and Brainiac), Carlos Grabstein/89st (Miseria Records, Berlin), Oberst Panizza (Young & Cold Records, Berlin) and Techniques Berlin (Toronto, Canada).
