Somerset Sider

History reinvented with Friday's slightly shaken selection, courtesy of Johnson Somerset.

I first discovered his work in 2016 via Paper Romance by Groove Armada (included here) and an entire album's worth of Duran Duran overhauls called Eiffel Tower.

Here's six crowd pleasers from a back catalogue that now runs into the hundreds, and continues to be added to YouTube on a regular basis.

1) Dance Hall Days (Johnson Somerset Remix): Wang Chung (2023)
2) Notorious (Johnson Somerset Remix): Duran Duran (2025)
3) Paper Romance (Johnson Somerset Remix): Groove Armada ft. Fenech-Soler & SaintSaviour (2013)
4) Summertime Sadness (Johnson Somerset Remix): Lana Del Rey (2020)
5) Self Control (Johnson Somerset Remix): Laura Branigan (2023)
6) The In Crowd (West End Wolf Remix): Bryan Ferry (2013)

  1. I had that Somerset cider that you kindly gave me last night. I tend to find most ciders too sweet for my taste these days, but this one was just right and very refreshing at the end of a hot day. So thanks again.

  2. He's done a lot of Bryan Ferry remixes which make his 21st century output more tolerable - if I'm hyper critical they are a bit 'samey' but worth checking out..
