The sun may be shining, but outside it's deceptively chilly. So we have a premiere of Gilles Peterson’s Brazilian-influenced Record Store Day release to add some heat, which is the bossa rework of Freeez’s famous 1981 hit Southern Freeez.

Taken from Peterson's new album project, Southern Freeez is an electronic take on the jazz-funk original, which features the dulcet tones of seminal Brazilian vocalist Emanuelle Araújo. The echoing vocals add a delicately haunting tone to the track, which pulsates with a bossa nova drum beat.

The album, entitled Brasil Bam Bam Bam, features material created by artist collective Sonzeira, and Peterson produced it. A product of a 25-year-long dedication to Brazilian music in the club and on the radio, the album moulds the eclectic range of the country's musical styles: "Brazil’s music culture is massive. There’s the North – Bahia, Recife, the afro-brazilian sound. There’s batucada, the heavy sambas," says Peterson. "Then bossa nova – Tom Jobim and all that history. There’s baile funk. There’s Tropicalia and the more soulful, funky scene championed by groups like Banda Black Rio, Trio Mocoto and icons like Gilberto Gil. Such a huge amount of stuff to fit in. I wanted to try and cover it all – to make a kind of Buena Vista meets club culture, but to keep it sonically very modern."

Listen to Southern Freeez – out on 7in for Record Store Day on 19 April – and let us know what you think.
