Over this past summer, legendary Michigan-based producer and DJ John Beltran released a brilliant Brazilian-inspired jazz dance debut with the Detroit collective Sol Set, titled Olá de Novo. As a follow-up release, the tracks from the original recording have received the remix treatment and issued on a new LP, simply called Olá de Novo (the remixes).

Featuring an impressive and eclectic group of producers that includes Kaidi Tatham, Vince Watson, Chris Coco, Kiko Navarro, Ezel, Blair French and Cee ElAssaad, each remix does a great job of not losing the fabric of the original material and building off the strong foundation of each track. Some remixes take the music in a more dancefloor friendly direction, while a few lean towards a more laidback cosmic chill vibe.

This is a superb follow-up release that stands on it’s own, providing fantastic and complimentary new renditions of the music found on Olá de Novo.

I highly recommend picking up both records!
