In the mood for something that goes beyond the collective unconscious? Look no further than Toronto-based experimental-electronic group TIO’s imaginative “Day Fort” video. Created by Josh Reichmann (formerly of Tangeirs) the visuals for their latest effort feature dynamic 3D animations juxtaposed with murky footage of a dancer. The track’s pulsating bassline is accompanied by distorted guitar riffs and industrial synths. “Day Fort” is a song you can dance to, with or without drugs.

"Day Fort is the refuge we seek in the new nature of now,” the group explains. “We are not opposed or defined by what we do not seek. From our underground bunker we see the light. Xenofeminism, new nature, the laws of change and the movement of our true boundary in three dimensions—our bodies. This music and these images are the sky looking down on the fort at the end of the world where a new one emerges. Let's go back to the start."

So yeah, drugs.
