Just in time for its 30th anniversary, Stephen Jusko & DJ Blacklow have updated Cher’s ‘90s classic - “One By One” - for a new generation.

"One by One" comes from the iconic diva’s twenty-first studio album, It's a Man's World (1995), and was first released as a single in the UK in January 1996. It was co-written by Cher and Anthony Griffiths of The Real People, who had released their original version prior as their debut single in 1987. Two versions of the song were recorded for It's a Man's World: the original, included on British pressings, is a soul song with elements of rock. An American mix was later produced with more of an R&B ballad feel, which then included additional remixes by the legendary NYC DJ Junior Vasquez. This version was later released as a single in the United States through Warner Reprise Records in May 1996.

Jusko’s (Houston) & Blacklow’s (Los Angeles) remix pays homage to Junior, taking this underappreciated Cher track and breathing new life into it.

“Junior is the DJ who made me want to become a DJ,” says Blacklow. “When I first heard ‘One By One’ on his dancefloor over Pride weekend in NYC, I was filled with joy & exhilaration. Junior’s remix radiated pure unadulterated happiness - a sense of gay inter-generational unity, love, and pride that I’d never felt before in a club. And In the 15 years I’ve been DJing, there’s no track I’ve wanted to remix more than this one… I’ve just been waiting for the right moment.”

For Blacklow, that moment was his recent headlining gig in September at REAL BAD 37 in San Francisco, the legendary closing party for Folsom weekend. Looking to create some magical moments at the end of the night, this update of “One By One” became one of the big surprises of the night for the jubilant crowd of over 2,200 partygoers.

“I hope we’ve done this track justice with our update - lord knows, we’ve given it our everything after tinkering with it for almost a year,” Blacklow continues. “But this track is, and always will be, a Junior classic. Everything about our remix is an homage to him.”

“This remix is a true tea dance anthem or end-of-the-night secret weapon,” says Jusko. “We hope everyone out there falls in love with it as much as we already love it.”

A month after REAL BAD, the production duo is now ready to share their remix of Cher’s “One By One” with DJs around the world.
