Track of the Day: 'FYTS' by Evian Christ

There's a new track floating around the internet today by Evian Christ, called 'FYTS', and it's a belter. Dark and mysterious, with spooky childlike voices at the start, followed by an insistent bass and some psychotic drums, it pitches and turns like a horror movie.

You can listen to it by clicking on the image above, or download it here.

Oh, and if anyone knows what FYTS stands for, or you just fancy making something up, then let me know...

Track of the Day: 'Marijuana' by Chrome Sparks

Some mellow vibes on this short and sweet (but not sickly) new track from Chrome Sparks. With a slowed-down sample that makes me think of old 70s bands like The Stylistics (ask your mom) this has just got just the right balance of beats to blissed-out blips. Grab it for free above, light up a fat one and enjoy...

Track of the Day: 'Fitzpleasure (The Internet of Odd Future Remix) by alt-J

This has just dropped through the ether for your aural (fitz)pleasure - a remix from alt-J's album 'An Awesome Wave' by Odd Future member The Internet. Stepping up the beat quotient, but at the same time turning the track into a bit of a slinky beast, this is an interesting take on alt-J and show both contributors off at their best. Grab it while it's free above.

Track of the Day: 'Christabell B' by Holy Strays

The second release from Morning Ritual Records is this rather brilliant track from Holy Strays aka Paris-based musician & producer Sebastien Forrester. It reminds me a bit of some of Dam Mantle's stuff, with its glitchy rhythms and manipulated voices, and just gets better and better the more times you listen to it. Definitely an artist to watch out for in the future.

The 7" is released next month - you can pre-order it here.
