Electronic music powerhouse Solomun has unveiled a brand-new remix of the classic track ‘Take Care Of Business’ by legendary singer and civil rights icon Nina Simone. Released via Verve Records, the remix marks the first installment in a special year-long series celebrating the enduring legacy of the iconic artist.
The project arrives as part of a broader tribute initiative honoring Simone’s influence on music and culture. Throughout 2026, Verve Records will release a series of reinterpretations of her work from contemporary artists, bridging the gap between classic soul and modern electronic production.
A respectful reinterpretation of a timeless voice
Solomun’s remix of ‘Take Care Of Business’ brings a fresh electronic perspective while preserving the emotional depth of Nina Simone’s original performance. Known for his melodic house and deep, atmospheric productions, the Bosnian-German DJ carefully layers subtle rhythms, hypnotic grooves, and modern textures around Simone’s unmistakable vocals.
Rather than overpowering the original composition, the remix highlights Simone’s voice as the centerpiece, allowing her powerful delivery to remain at the forefront while introducing a new sonic landscape designed for modern dancefloors and streaming audiences alike.
Speaking about the project, Solomun expressed deep admiration for Simone’s artistry and cultural impact.
“There are very few artists like Nina Simone who truly transcend time,” he said in a press statement. “This remix comes from a place of deep respect for her work and voice, and the joy of engaging with it.”
The result is a track that feels both contemporary and timeless, offering listeners a new way to experience Simone’s music while maintaining the integrity of the original recording.
Launching Verve’s Nina Simone remix series
The release marks the beginning of Verve Records’ Nina Simone remix project, which will feature new interpretations of her music released monthly until autumn. The series aims to introduce Simone’s legendary catalog to a new generation of listeners while celebrating her impact across genres.
A diverse lineup of producers has already been confirmed for the project, including:
- Mochakk
- DESIREE
- Austin Millz
- dublon
- Supershy
- Antdot
Each artist will bring their own style and interpretation to Simone’s timeless recordings, resulting in a collection that spans house, electronic, and global dance influences.
Solomun’s ongoing global success
The remix arrives during another busy period for Solomun, who continues to perform at some of the world’s most iconic venues. Earlier this month, the DJ headlined a major show at Alexandra Palace in London, continuing a run of performances at historic locations across Europe.
In recent years, Solomun has brought his signature productions and immersive DJ sets to remarkable venues including Château de Chantilly, the Théâtre Antique d’Orange, and the Royal Palace of Belgium.
These events highlight Solomun’s unique approach to live performances, often blending electronic music with historic architecture and large-scale visual production.
A milestone year for the artist
Over the past year, Solomun has continued to expand his influence across electronic music. The producer achieved his highest placement yet in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Poll, reflecting his growing global popularity and impact within the dance music community.
His recent releases and collaborations include a remix of Jamie xx’s ‘Waited All Night’, contributions to the soundtrack of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, and the single ‘Tout le Monde’ alongside French vocalist Jain.
With the Nina Simone remix series now underway, Solomun once again demonstrates his ability to connect musical eras and genres, blending classic artistry with contemporary electronic production.

By reinterpreting Nina Simone’s ‘Take Care Of Business’, Solomun delivers more than just a remix — he creates a musical bridge between generations.
