Hey, lost soul. Word is, you've been searching for some kind of trippy party shaman to lead you on a spirit quest to the center of your very own inner outer space. True? OK, then, it's totally time you took a tab of that Space Voodoo Crystal stuff. Hence, today's free MP3, "Mutations."

Like 'shrooms on E, this local tropical/dub/hip-hop crew from the future ("Miami 2099") makes a druggy sound that blends both psilocybin's hallucinogenic brainblast and MDMA's oversexed synthetic edge. Or, if you'd rather ask the band, SVC sounds something like: "You and Bone Thugs and the ghosts of their grandmothers just simultaneously beat Mega Mans 1-6 during a solar eclipse, inside of a crystal sphinx smoking a blunt."

So, go ahead and get "Mutations," then complete your collection of SVC sci-fi dance skullfuckery by scoring a free copy of the full demo here. It's a six-song digital slab of weird instrumental tracks (like "Black Unicorn" and "Early Earth") anchored by "psychedelic booty beats." Welcome, lost soul, to inner outer space.
