When most music heads think of Toronto, the name Drake immediately appears, but if your turn up has ventured more into the EDM waters, you're already up on Grandtheft, a Toronto-based producer who's been causing a quite bit of noise over the last few years. Not only has he netted official remixes for Katy Perry, Alesso, and T.I., but he's a regular collaborator with the likes of Major Lazer, and has released tracks on the biggest labels in EDM (including Mad Decent, Dim Mak, and Spinnin'). He dropped his Quit This City EP on Mad Decent / Pirates Blend back in October of 2015, and today we get a special 360° virtual reality music video for the Fantastic Modern-featured "Summer In The Winter."

A good batch of Grandtheft's tunes are of the more turnt, festival-ready variety, so it's intriguing to get a soothing cut here, with Fantastic Modern adding the spice to the song via some solid vocals. The video matches the hazy, chilled vibe of the cut, with a litany of sweeping shots of "surreal visuals from chilly mountaintops, hazy desert landscapes and hyperspatial kaleidoscopic tunnels," giving you the trippiest of vibes. The best part is that the clip, which was produced by MuchFACT, is a 360° virtual reality experience that's best experienced via your smartphone or tablet. Load this one up and explore a magical, mystical ride through the portal in which you explore the rest of the outside world.
