The Brazilian DJ and producer brings Nina Simone’s timeless “See-Line Woman” into the club with a funky, soulful remix that already lit up his recent Coachella run.
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.
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.

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.”
