Mochakk reimagines Nina Simone’s timeless “See-Line Woman” with a hypnotic remix made for modern dancefloors worldwide.
Brazilian DJ and producer Mochakk continues his streak of standout reworks with a bold new release, unveiling an official remix of Nina Simone’s iconic “See-Line Woman” via Verve Records. Taking on one of Nina Simone’s most enduring recordings, Mochakk reshapes the 1964 classic into a hypnotic, groove-driven cut that feels equally rooted in heritage and modern club culture.
Originally featured on Nina Simone’s Broadway-Blues-Ballads, “See-Line Woman” became one of the defining pieces in her catalogue, elevated further through decades of unforgettable live performances. More than sixty years later, the track finds a new pulse through Mochakk’s interpretation, transforming the smoky, percussive energy of the original into something built for packed dancefloors without losing the soul that made it timeless in the first place.
Often referred to as the “high priestess of soul,” Nina Simone built a sound that moved effortlessly through jazz, blues, gospel, folk and classical music. That emotional depth and rhythmic intensity have always carried a certain hypnotic quality, making her work surprisingly natural territory for electronic reinterpretation. Mochakk leans into exactly that tension, preserving Simone’s commanding vocal presence while surrounding it with rolling percussion, tight grooves and the kind of dynamic movement that has become synonymous with his productions.
Over the last few years, Mochakk has carved out a reputation for high-energy sets and genre-blurring productions that pull inspiration far beyond the usual boundaries of dance music. Elements of hip-hop, disco, soul and funk regularly find their way into his tracks, alongside rapid-fire drums, unexpected transitions and his unmistakable sense of rhythm. His DJ sets, often described as “rollercoaster” experiences, thrive on momentum and unpredictability, balancing underground warehouse energy with infectious musicality.
The remix arrives during another major chapter in Mochakk’s rise. After a huge run across global streaming platforms and a landmark peak-time appearance at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the Brazilian artist continues to expand his international presence with a packed European schedule ahead. That includes curating the main stage at Nuits Sonores as well as bringing his Mochakk Calling concept to Milan for the first time, alongside a return to Barcelona as part of the official OFFSónar program.
With his remix of “See-Line Woman” out now, Mochakk once again proves his ability to bridge generations and styles, connecting one of music’s most legendary voices with the forward momentum of contemporary electronic music in a way that feels natural rather than nostalgic.
Nina Simone – ‘See-Line Woman’ (Mochakk Remix) is out today on Verve Records on all streaming platforms.
