What’s It Like to Remix a Madonna Song? Producers share their experiences to Billboard Magazine 24th August 2022 - Shep Pettibone: BM: When you listen to these songs now, where does it take you? SP: They still sound so fresh. I mean, this is 32 years later, and the songs still sound as good as they did when they came out, which is pretty amazing. They don’t sound dated. I’m very proud that out of the 50 number ones, she chose to have my remix of “Into The Groove” released as the first digital single, way ahead of the album release. BN: In the grand scheme of dance music, what role do you think Madonna occupies? SP: She deserves her queen diva status there. Everything she has done dance-wise is always been a big, big hit. I’m particularly happy that I got to do what I did at the pinnacle of her career. You know, when out of the blue, Beyoncé is re-singing her song over my music [on “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)”] — they didn’t even try to recreate the music. They just lifted the music right off the instrumental track. I was blown away. Then re-doing the rap to include all the the legends and people she’s talking about, that’s one of the kind. BM: It’s such a nod to your work that they didn’t change anything. They didn’t try to redo it, it was just like, “This is perfect. Let’s just like take the source material and give it straight up, because you’re not gonna improve upon it." SP: Right. They didn’t even ask for the masters to remix it. They just took it right off the record, the way it was mixed 32 years ago.❤👑📸☄🔥💃@madonna #madonna #womeninmusic #madonna80sarchive #madonna80s #icon #80smadonna #madonnastyle #musicicon #BoyToy #musicroyalty #madonnamusic #madonnafans #Madonna #iconic #madonna80squeen #bossbitch #bitchimmadonna #slayqueenslay #allhailthequeen #madonnaphotos #rebel #madonnapictures #bowdownbitches #mlvc #madonnalove #whenmadonnaruledtheworld #supportmadonna #womeniadmire #madonnastory
