We are so honored to have been remixed by these skilled producers! Here's what they had to say:

"I first heard Sally Shapiro at an internet café in southeast Portland. 'I'll Be By Your Side' began spilling into my headphones as tears came to my eyes. Working on the remix was full circle. The lyrics are absolutely incredible and Sally's voice is as pure as ever. It's poetic that she sings 'Thinking of you... Wish you were by my side' recalling the first phrase I ever heard her sing many moons ago. " Johnny Jewel

"It was a real pleasure work on a Sally Shapiro song for two reasons: first because we like her personal and fresh take on Italo and synthpop, and second because Italians Do It Better is one of our favorite labels. Beyond cool!" Italoconnection

"It’s been an honour to remix Sally Shapiro as she (and Johan) were one of my earliest inspirations when I started making music. I was completely in love with Junior Boys’ remix of Sally’s “Jackie Junior” so it feels like a full cycle and a dream come true to be able to remix her now myself." VONDA7

"Sally Shapiro are so important for me so many others. The music creates an atmosphere of distant memories and places, almost dreamlike nostalgia. The mark of a good song is that it holds up when you strip everything away, and that’s so true of the vocal for ‘Dulcinea’. A joy to work on, and an honour to be involved with." Ben Macklin

"I know Sally Shapiro´s music from the past and I like it so this was a pleasant task for me. Also the story about a "sad city" spoke to me and inspired me to dive into the spheres that are there to be heard today." Jaakko Eino Kalevi

"When I heard there was a chance I could get to work on a Sally Shapiro track, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. It was super fun to make a remix that was unique and yet retained their unmistakable sound. Placing my old Dr. Groove drum machine under Sally's angelic voice, was like the best tasting salted caramel. " Bark Bark Disco

"I had a great time remixing "Tell Me How" by Sally Shapiro. I've always loved Sally's ethereal vocal style and am a big fan of the music she makes with Johan. I loved getting the chance to put my own spin on things with this driving dreamy synthwave remix every car stereo needs this summer." Sunglasses Kid

"The first time I heard a Sally Shapiro song was about 5 years ago. I stumbled across Moonlight Dance, brilliant song...amazing voice...I became an instant fan. Out of the blue, I got an email from Johan asking me to remix a Sally track. I was super excited and jumped on this opportunity immediately! Sad Cities is a fantastic album and I'm really grateful to be a part of this remix project." Juno Dreams

"Johan is an old friend at this point and we've worked together numerous times. I've been a Sally Shapiro fan since the beginning and I'm always super excited to work with them. This is my third Sally remix and I hope there are many more to come!" Steve Moore

"I have enjoyed Sally’s voice ever since I remixed “Why did I say goodbye” way back in 2014. I had a lot of fun working with “Love in slow motion” and I aimed for a heartfelt, lush mid 80’s sound, similar to the likes of “Life in a Northern town” by Dream Academy” Betamaxx

"The original song hinted at that bittersweet, solitary wonder which I've come to strongly associate with December. It was a real treat massaging the remix with a cup of tea, purring cat in my lap, gazing at the frozen lake from a frosty studio window. The peace, quiet and magic of the sidelines. A soft, pulsating soundtrack for some invisible club of anonymous loners." Krister Linder
