The hits keep on coming for Michael Jackson. This time around a slew of mega producers including, The Neptunes and Dallas Austin are planning to remix various hits from the music icon.

According to MTV News Universal Motown is putting together an album of remixed Jackson 5 classics and Michael Jackson solo hits. The project is dubbed Michael Jackson: The Remix Suite. Producers for the 20-song project include, The Neptunes, Dallas Austin, Salaam Remi, Q-Tip, Ryan Leslie, Polow Da Don, Tricky Stewart and Stargate. Remi who reworked the Jackson 5’s “ABC” with a reggae-flavored vibe spoke to MTV about the project.

“That song was one of the first songs I remember hearing on my own. I think it came out around the time I was coming up as a kid. A remix … it isn’t just changing the music … to me it’s about reimagining the vibe. I wanted to do something that, when it pops up it makes you say, ‘Wow.’ And to feel like it could be performed that way, not like it was just glued together.”

The album is scheduled to hit stores on October 27th.
