Teddy Douglas - Don't Turn Your Back On Me [Nervous Records]

“Don’t Turn Your Back On Me feat. Pauline Taylor” originally appeared on the I’m Here album from US house pioneer and Basement Boys co-founder Teddy Douglas in late 2024. It is a real soulful house anthem with a funky bassline and glorious vocal performance, ripe for a top-tier remix package.

Douglas himself opens this package with upbeat organ chords and mellow melodies that light up the seductive and stylish percussion. Next up, Swiss DJ & producer Shaka, an artist who has spent decades fusing acid, Chicago and Detroit influences into his own tracks for renowned labels such as Nervous, GooD MooD and Mister Bear Records, offers his 12-inch Club version. His remix strips back the track to make it deep and dubby before rebuilding it with sunny melodies, expressive organs and prog guitar riffs that bring energy and true dancefloor unity.

Then comes NYC DJ Tedd Patterson, a true originator, resident at Ladyfags Battle Hymn party and regular at Horse Meat Disco, Berghain’s Panorama Bar and Glitterbox, as well as with releases on Strictly Rhythm, Nervous, Defected and more. His sophisticated remix offers a warm and bouncy sound, complemented by soulful vocals that bring richness.

Finally, iconic New York favourite Danny Krivit, a member of the legendary Body and Soul crew, renowned remixer and editor with hundreds of credits across the scene’s biggest labels and resident DJ at New York’s mythical 718 Sessions, uses his vast experience to transform the original into a playful stomper with precise guitar riffs and agile synths, all brimming with joy as the funky beats roll on and the lush vocals reach new heights.
