Mochakk’s Club-Ready Remix of Nina Simone’s Iconic “See-Line Woman” Has Landed

Mochakk is taking on a true heavyweight with his new official remix of Nina Simone’s “See-Line Woman,” out now on Verve Records.

Originally released in 1964 on Simone’s Broadway-Blues-Ballads, “See-Line Woman” is one of those records with serious bones: that voice, that rhythm, that strange hypnotic pull that feels carved straight out of music history. Famously reworked by Masters At Work in 2002, the track now gets a fresh jolt from Mochakk, who grabs Simone’s raw, percussive vocal power and sends it straight to the dance floor. The result is funky, soulful, and sweat-loaded, built for peak-time movement without sanding down the spirit of the original. Listen below.

The Brazilian selector and producer has been cooking at full blast, with releases across CircoLoco, Ninja Tune, and Disorder Records, not to mention the arrival of his hotly-tipped MOTRAXX label late last year, which aims to spotlight emerging Brazilian talent (MOTRAXX Vol. 3 dropped earlier this month). This remix has already been road-tested in serious fashion too, doing proper damage during Mochakk’s recent Coachella run, where he touched down across both weekends.

Speaking about the new rework, Mochakk told Beatportal:

When I got the opportunity to remix Nina Simone’s “See-Line Woman,” I was so honored. I never could’ve imagined that one day you’d look at her artist profile and see my name attached to one of her songs. She’s one of those incredibly legendary artists and such a huge part of music history. To contribute to that legacy and have the chance to reimagine “See-Line Woman” in my own way means a lot to me. I debuted the track at Coachella, and I loved seeing people’s curiosity right away… Now it’s finally here! Super hyped for everyone to check it out!

It’s classic Mochakk: loose-limbed, wildly musical, and locked into that sweet spot where history gets sweaty under club lights. The remix also continues a fresh run of Nina Simone reworks this year, following Solomun’s take on “Take Care Of Business” and DESIREE’s spin on “Four Women.”

Mochakk's remix of Nina Simone's "See-Line Woman" is out now via Verve.
