RAC: The Remix Artist Collective
Bloc Party, The Temper Trap, Tokyo Police Club, Kings of Leon and Phoenix— we’ve all heard those names before, but André Allen Anjos, Andrew Maury and Crookram (Chris Angelovski)— perhaps not. The three make up the Portuguese/American/Dutch remixing wizardry known as The Remix Artist Collective, or simply as RAC. Together they have released three free albums: RAC Sega Vs. Nintendo EP, RAC Vol. 1, and RAC VOL 1.5. Check out a full list of their remixes. Some of RAC’s music has appeared on HBO’s Entourage so you know they’re legit. Here’s a few of my favourites:
The Shins - ‘Sleeping Lessons (RAC Remix)’
Kings Of Leon - ‘Use Somebody (RAC Remix)’
Phoenix - ‘1901 (RAC Maury Mix)
The Temper Trap - ‘Sweet Disposition (RAC Mix)
Honeythieves - ‘Reminder (RAC Mix)’
The Pragmatic - ‘Circles (RAC Maury Mix)’
Bloc Party - Hunting For Witches (RAC Mix)’
Tokyo Police Club - ‘Graves (RAC Maury Mix)’
