NEW TRACK/RELEASE: Fancy Footwork (Manila Killa Remix) - Chromeo

Great apprehension is always present when Manila Killa is due to release a new track. But the wait is finally over, and after much of his teasing about the track via Facebook and Twitter, we present to you his latest remix!

Fancy Footwork by Chromeo has been a prominent tune in the electro scene, and many DJs make an attempt on doing their take on it. Manila Killa never cease to amaze, with his signature vibratos, and synths over synths to create something, magical.

If there was a motto for Manila Killa, it would be that he never disappoints.  As he builds up the climax, he leaves us with hanging for the explosion afterwards. And my god, that explosion will keep your dancing shoes on fire. This track may well be a summer anthem for many, and we're very excited with what Manila Killa has in store in the future.

Also, just after the release, Manila Killa tweeted about a heavy edit of Bounce by Calvin Harris and Kelis that he's been working on.
