Minus 8 X Billie Brown - Perfect (DnB Mix)

"Obeah Woman" is one of the standout cuts on Nina Simone's classic 1974 album It Is Finished which is today considered one of her finest, particularly by diggers, Djs and producers. A dark, tribal, elemental yet celebratory field chant. Originally written by Exuma aka Tony Mckay, it possesses powers and potential that are very inspiring and we can hear, feel and experience those powers of inspiration in Nickodemus' incredible new reworking and its two remixes by Kiko Navarro and Buscrates. New Orleans' Cole Williams does the vocal honors and she manages to honor Nina by channeling her urgency without aping her sound or style, instead putting her own contemporary stamp on it. 

The main mix has a simultaneous mix of funky elegance and existential tension derived primarily from Cole's vocals which seem to cry out in the night. Kiko Navarro's mix ups the tempo and the tension by moving the song into Afrobeat/house territory and emphasizing the cultural roots of what the song's lyrics were always about to begin with, even as it transforms into a thoroughly contemporary dancefloor scorcher. Buscrates takes a different approach altogether by effortlessly placing the song at the nexus of 80s R&B and 90s Acid Jazz, creating a slice of vintage-synth downtempo heaven that conjures images of a nighttime city skyline and of the different things that happen within it on any given night...be they good or not-so-good. Turntables on the Hudson is confident that we have treated such sacred territory with the respect and reverence it's due while at the same time honoring the questing spirit that characterizes Nina Simone's work.
