Following his performance at Red Rocks Amphitheater opening for Big Gigantic, Chicago-based Manic Focus has dropped a smoldering new electro-funk remix of Bill Withers‘ classic blues track “Use Me.” Combining his unique blend of hip hop, electronica and dubstep with the vocals of the legendary soul-singer, Manic Focus creates an intoxicating downtempo jam ripe for getting down with your bad self.

“This is one of my favorite Bill Withers’ songs. I loved the original lyrics and arrangement so much that I didn’t stray to far from it, so its more like a Manic Focus cover than a remix. Call it what you want, hope ya dig, peace!” – Manic Focus
