Here's what Dillon Francis had to say about this latest remix: 

"Soooo i was making this mix for Triple J radio and as i got to the end of the mix I didnt know what else i wanted in it. i had been listening to KNAS a bunch because Steve Angello was on tour with us during big day out Australia soooo I decided to see if the track worked at 140bpm half time hip hop style shit....after messing with it a bunch i sped it up to 160bpm and basically turned it into this haha..... SOOOO IN HONOR OF MY NEW SINGLE W/ DJ SNAKE "GET LOW" THATS COMING OUT ON FEB 11th I GIVE YOU MY KNAS REMIX FOR FREE. THANKS FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT I HOPE YOU DIG THIS TRACK AND BUY "GET LOW" WHEN IT COMES OUT"
