Jake Shears has been releasing remixes from this year’s excellent Last Man Dancing and here’s one from DJ and producer Erol Alkan who first worked with Jake when he remixed Scissor Sisters’ “I Don’t Feel Like Dancing” back in 2006. Here he puts his spin on “Doses” featuring Big Freedia, keeping the rolling bass but giving it a little more forward thrust.
“I immediately chose ‘Doses’ to rework as I could hear exactly where I wanted to take it,” Erol says. “It was made for my own DJ sets in mind, a track designed to bring the house down. It’s rare for me to rework the same artist twice, but Jake is not just a good friend from the dawn of the millennium / Trash days, it’s also that Scissor Sisters let me do whatever I wanted to their track ‘I Don’t Feel Like Dancing’ back in 2006 and it remains one of my favorite reworks.”
