Okay, I know he’s often had amazing songs to work with as a starting point, but still he makes it even better.
Wally Badarou on keyboards is always great, but it’s Shep’s drums that take this into club territory for me:
And here’s more of Shep’s drums doing their magic - can’t go wrong with that massive snare (great song to start with again though):
Less well known than some of the others he did for Salsoul but a favourite of mine:
Oh, just remembered this one too:
Love it when he does these long dubs.
By 86 he was mixing big pop records but this is the one I remember from that time:
Cyndi’ “What’s Going On” Long Version 1986

Shep’s dub mix
He did a did job on Depeche Mode.
Always had a soft spot for his remix of Mariah Carey…used to great effect by Rhythm Quest on the classic rave anthem Closer To All Your Dreams
I have been accused of owning this record for the picture sleeve. Not the case.
Fair accusation

Not only one of my favourite mixes of his, but also one of my favourite records full-stop
There’s a lot to choose from, but here’s my trio:

Shep’s Dream Dub
was wondering if we had a Shep thread already & lo & behold
For me the salsoul remixes are the best / definitive versions
Its not just because they were the ones on the Mastercuts so 1st serious set of Salsoul I owned - definitely the best of Love Sensation / Let No Man / Jingo
They were quite a bit later, what else did he do ( before I ask AI)
Don’t see this on this thread but this series is incredible
