In his autumn years, Bryan Ferry has been moving towards crooner territory (see: last year’s Gatsby-era throwback The Jazz Age), he’s proven adept on 21st century dancefloors, too: 2011's Olympia yielded a slew of remixes, while The Jazz Age included a swinging instrumental take on Boys and Girls’ “Don’t Stop the Dance", which has been remixed by an assortment of producers ranging from Todd Terje to Psychemagik. New York producer Eric “Dr. Dunks” Duncan's take is both decadent and restrained. It builds for four minutes with timbales, a curlicue of guitar, and jaunty electric keys before Dunks clears a space for Ferry’s ageless pipes to emerge. The beat slowly returns, the title taken to heart for eleven elegant minutes.
