Big names like Passion Pit, Holy F**k, Four Tet, Mad Decent, TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek have been sitting around remixing the same song, all for a massive remix album. Toro Y Moi’s remix of “Alligator” has been released as a freebie download, to entice you to purchase the epic project on iTunes for $12.

True to form, Toro Y Moi has injected his idiosyncratic spacey synths and star-like twinkles into the highly danceable new single, proving that Alligator is best served chilled. Download the remix below:
