Following the release of Brian Jackson’s first solo album in 20 years on BBE Music, simply titled This Is Brian Jackson, the legendary jazz-funk multi-instrumentalist and songwriter gets the remix treatment from two of today’s best producers in Louie Vega and Josh Milan(aka Two Soul Fusion) on the track’s superb second single “Little Orphan Boy”.

Released as an expansive 2×12″ release featuring two remixes and instrumental versions, Vega and Milan give the soulful original a vintage remix that recalls the golden era of Masters at Work productions, featuring a more uptempo Latin-infused house percussion groove, shimmering organs, and funky guitar lines. The “Downtempo” rendition has a bit of a more two-step broken beat vibe, pushing Brian Jackson’s vocals up front over a head-nodding, stripped back groove.

More than just a complimentary release to the brilliant full-length recording, the dynamic tag team of Louie Vega and Josh Milan have reworked an already great track into one of the best singles of the year.
