For any who doubted that the project might ever come together, new remixes of Sting’s “If I Ever Lose My Faith In You,” shepherded by The Scumfrog (aka Jesse Houk), have been released. The collaboration was initially announced nearly a year ago.

“Even though Sting himself was on board with this from the beginning, it still proved a long and difficult process to get all the paperwork in order,” the Dutch-American DJ/producer explained on Facebook.

Though the delay seemed interminable — probably even more so to The Scumfrog — out of the red tape have emerged some very worthy remixes. In addition to The Scumfrog’s own vocal and dub mixes, others newly set loose on Sting’s 1993 single include house music legend Carl Cox, Beckers (one-half of D-Nox & Beckers), and German duo Kruse & Nuernberg.

While there’s something to like about each rework, I have to give it up to the guy who persevered to bring it all together. Preview a hefty chunk of The Scumfrog’s Vocal Mix:

Think we can convince The Scumfrog to tackle Sting’s “If You Love Somebody Set Them Free” next? I heard a bootleg mix a while ago that I haven’t been able to track down, and I imagine the process would be smoother for Houk the second time through.
