Manila Killa enlists Panama & The Knocks on remixed single, "Sleepless"
Teasing listeners with yet another remix from his latest album, Manila Killa has enlisted some heavy hitters in putting their finishing touches on his single, “Sleepless”. Keep reading for an analysis of the track, as well as a background on this artist.
With the help of Panama on “Sleepless”, Manila Killa managed to get the incredibly talented New York duo The Knocks to remix this outrageously catchy track. Now while it’s probably obvious that we’d recommend all listeners to check out the original first in order to compare, let us tell right off the bat that this remixed version is absolutely jam packed with thumping bass, silky vocals, and is wonderfully danceable as well. Do yourselves a favor and give this a play as soon as you can, you won’t regret it.
A meeting of the minds has ultimately resulted in downright one of our favorite remixed songs of the year. Separately, we’re major fans of everything Manila Killa, Panama, and The Knocks have done, but together, they’re a powerhouse surging through to create an anthem for the clubs, the pre games, and basically any moment you need a shot of adrenaline. Seeing as though the track is titled “Sleepless”, it’s not hard to break down exactly what it’s all about. Additionally, it’s not immensely difficult to imagine yourself vibing out in a dark club as the bass runs through your body, living your best life as you should. For us, we can already see this becoming the soundtrack to a wild night out.
With Panama on the vocals and The Knocks including this upbeat and vibrant house-inspired groove, for us it was worlds different than the original. Worth checking out as mentioned, the instrumental still pops and lays into those rhythms that worked so well initially. If for any reason you’re unfamiliar with any of the collaborators, they’re worth exploring extensively, but we can think of basically no better introduction to a trio of talent than with a loud listen of “Sleepless”.
