Channel Tres is back with his first single of 2019, and this one might be his sickest track yet, which is high praise when we're talking about the man responsible for such ineffable bangers as "Topdown", "Controller", and "Jet Black"...

Daniel Benjamin aka Moon King follows up last summer's Hamtramck '16 with a slinky, slightly uneasy dance-pop jam, featuring the great David Carriere of TOPS on guitar.
