Fun fact : you can see people playing trumpets in the music video while this version doesn't contain any. The theory is they first shoot the music video with the album version and switch it last minute.

His mixes are perfect for the ballroom scene!

 

 

 

 

His work w Taylor Dayne is flawless too. 

I love his work with both Madonna and Janet.

 

1986-1992 was a fire period for women in pop.

he made many points with Erotica in particular 

one of the best old school DJ's along with Junior Vasquez

One of the best remixes ever.

 

He worked on "Vogue" and "Miss You Much (Remix)" at the same time. He used the same drums and chords for the both song.

 

"Vogue" was meant to be a B Side and Shep had a very little budget so i guess it wasn't a big deal to him.

 

Even Janet's producers laughed about that in a podcast, they said something like "Shep forgot he used the same elements for Janet" 🤣

 

One of the greatest remixers of all time.
