Verve Records continues its mission to bridge the gap between golden-era soul and modern dance floors. The label just released the Solomun Nina Simone remix of the 1965 classic “Take Care Of Business,” marking a standout moment in their ongoing reinterpretation series. While many producers struggle to balance iconic vocals with club-ready beats, Solomun treats the source material with a level of restraint that highlights his maturity as a curator.
A Masterclass in Melodic House Production
Instead of cluttering the arrangement with aggressive drops, Solomun builds the track around a persistent, melodic bassline. He places Nina’s commanding vocal performance at the absolute center of the mix. A deliberate synth line unfolds slowly throughout the track, providing a lush backdrop that feels both modern and timeless.
The production stays away from high-energy euphoria, opting instead for a hypnotic, “soothing” groove. This minimalist precision ensures that the soulful ethos of the original remains intact while giving DJs a sophisticated tool for sunset sets or intimate club environments.
