Soul In The Horn Records continues its Soul In The Horn Act 4: Remixes & Bonuses campaign with a soulful new interpretation of Yana Perrault and Daniel Winshall’s “Make Up My Mind.” Following the acclaimed releases of Karizma’s “Around” and Bobby DeBarge Jr. and Jaime Woods’ “All This Love (Emmaculate Remix),” the latest single brings together two generations of New York house music expertise in a deeply musical remix built for the dance floor.
The new version comes courtesy of Merlin Bobb and Franke Estevez, the respected producers behind FUZION, who reshape “Make Up My Mind” through warm, rolling grooves, elegant keys, and richly layered instrumentation. Rather than overshadowing the emotional character of the original, the pair preserve its heart while giving the track a sophisticated soulful house framework.
At the center of the remix is Yana Perrault’s expressive vocal performance, which rises naturally above Daniel Winshall’s refined musicianship. Her voice remains the emotional anchor of the production, while the instrumental version shifts the spotlight toward the arrangement itself, revealing the subtle details, musical interplay, and deep textures woven throughout the remix.
The original collaboration brought together two artists with distinct but complementary musical backgrounds. Perrault, a Broadway star and recording artist, has earned recognition for performances that draw from soul, jazz, rock, and dance music. Winshall, a Boston-born bassist and producer deeply connected to New York’s jazz community, brings an equally sophisticated musical sensibility to the composition.
That foundation makes “Make Up My Mind” particularly suited to the approach of Merlin Bobb and Franke Estevez.
As co-founder of the legendary Shelter, Merlin Bobb played an important role in the development of New York’s house music culture and its influence far beyond the city. His work has helped connect the music’s soulful roots with the communal energy of the dance floor.
His collaborator, Franke Estevez, has built a similarly respected reputation as a DJ, producer, and founder of FUZION Recordings. Known for deep, soulful productions that prioritize musicality and groove, Estevez brings a natural understanding of the space between intimate listening and late-night club music.
Together, Bobb and Estevez create a remix that feels deliberately timeless. Warm basslines and rolling rhythms provide the foundation, while elegant keys and carefully considered arrangements give the production a sense of depth without crowding its emotional center.
The result is a version of “Make Up My Mind” that can work equally well in a close listening environment or deep into a soulful house set, balancing the warmth of live musicianship with the movement and pulse of contemporary club production.
“Make Up My Mind (Merlin Bobb x Franke Estevez FUZION Remix & Instrumental)” further strengthens the Soul In The Horn Act 4: Remixes & Bonuses series, reinforcing Soul In The Horn Records’ commitment to house music rooted in soul, musicianship, and genuine dance-floor culture.
