Shep Pettibone

• Name — Shep Pettibone • Birth Name — Robert E. Pettibone, Jr. • Born — 10 July 1959 • Birthplace — Ocean Grove, New Jersey, U.S. • Genre — * House • dance-pop • Occupation — * DJ • record producer • remixer • Years Active — 1980s–present

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. 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.
