Nina Simone – Feeling Good (Bassnectar Remix)
Nina Simone‘s “Don’t Let Me Be Missunderstood” already received the remix treatment from Zeds Dead on the forthcoming Verve Remixed: The First Ladies compilation, but now we have Bassnectar taking on one of her most well-known tracks, “Feeling Good,” turning it onto a trap behemoth like no other. If you’re bold enough to be blaring this in your ride, your subs will get a proper workout; his 808s aren’t playing fair. You also have to appreciate how many trap songs rock with big horns, but this feels like one of the few trap tunes to feature a dope horn done right. The full compilation drops on July 9.

Nina Simone – Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood (Zeds Dead Remix)
Zed’s Dead has always had a special place in their hearts for Jazz and Soul. The canadian bass heavy duo have officially remixed Nina Simone’s “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” as homage to their love for the beautiful genre. First heard on their 2013 Essential Mix, Zeds Dead rework the famous 1964 record into a deft drum ‘n’ bass track.
The production features the Nina Simone’s soulful vocals over high energy beats. With the addition of a soulful jazz paino riff. With a dream like breakdown in the middle, the track picks up all the way again to give that extra “POW”, in just the way ZD is known for.
