Electronic Producer Manila Killa Returns With New Single “Dark Places” Featuring Kwesi

Filipino-American producer Chris Gavino, better known as Manila Killa, has returned to the studio following a year of virtual DJ sets, collaborations, and live shows. His new single “Dark Places”, featuring vocalist Kwesi is his first of the year, and brings along a new chapter in his music creation.

“Dark Places marks the beginning of a new perspective on how I view the world alongside music”, he begins. “Feelings of nostalgia have overcome many of us, including me in the past two years and I wanted to explore that realm through this song. After hearing the initial vocal demo, I immediately knew that I wanted to draw inspiration from brooding, moody and dark influences and Kwesi’s haunting voice and lyrics offer a glimpse of hope that I molded the instrumental production around.”

The Los Angeles-based producer brings an approachable electro-pop energy to the song, while holding onto his underground, electronica finesse that contributes to the song’s power and emotion.
