Shep Pettibone
Robert "Shep" Pettibone (born July 10, 1959) is an American record producer, remixer, songwriter and club DJ, one of the most prolific of the 1980s.
Shep Pettibone surfaced in 1981 after his work with Arthur Baker on Afrika Bambaataa & the Jazzy 5's "Jazzy Sensation" and as an in-house mix engineer for Prelude Records. During his recording career, he launched innovative "mastermixes" for New York's KISS FM. The popularity of these mixes persuaded Prelude Records to release some of them commercially.
Pettibone built his brand through a personal approach to remixing tracks that were specially crafted for the dancefloor. Acclaimed by DJs worldwide, he became a "go-to" figure for labels and artists seeking to achieve both club and chart success. His production and mixing prowess led him to work with such artists as Madonna, George Michael, Janet Jackson, Pet Shop Boys, and New Order in the late 1980s. His influence remains perceivable in contemporary music.
The works of Pettibone, Arthur Baker and [John] Luongo pushed the boundaries of dance music even further than the '70s disco boom; they delivered cutting-edge studio wizardry and club sensibility to mainstream pop and even rock acts, injecting the airwaves with style and craft that elicits deep nostalgia for those who bought 7″ and 12″ singles in this era.
— Mike Duquette, The Second Disc
Pettibone is the subject of the first volume of the Arthur Baker Presents Dance Masters series, Shep Pettibone: The Classic 12" Master-Mixes, a 47-song box set with highlights from his career.
Pettibone, co-writer and co-producer of Madonna's 1990 hit "Vogue", sued Warner Music in a dispute over withholding royalty payments. An appeals court ruled that the music producer was not responsible for paying the publishing giant's legal fees in a previous case.[citation needed]
