Chris Baio, bassist for Vampire Weekend, has been putting out some great dance tracks lately. In June, Baio -- also his DJ name -- dropped by the Red Bull Studios in London to record his second EP, which is now out on Greco-Roman records.

In describing his process, Baio said, "I use software and pull sounds off records. My favorite thing is to go to a record store with $40, buy anything that looks interesting that’s $3, and have 14 records to go through at home and start sampling."

Listen and download the new tracks, ‘The Silent’ and ‘New You,' below...
