Here's the latest music from the most mysterious new artist on Monstercat, it's PYLOT. He has an awesome nu-funk style on this track "Flashbacks" and his story is furthered a bit more with a second journal entry. The story of PYLOT is still unfolding before our eyes and ears through amazing music, and another cool aspect is the artwork that accompanies each song too.

I for one am enamored by PYLOT and I have a feeling that he will become a very big name in electronic music.
