RAC

This song is coming out on May 6th on Kitsune/Co-Op. Apparently it leaked, so I figured I’d post it here for streaming. Enjoy!

I just realized that soundcloud doesnt work very well with tumblr, so here’s an easier way of listening. :)

‘New Theory’ // Washed Out // RAC Remix

Recently premiered remix of the Ernest Greene’s Life of Leisure track, ‘New Theory’. Life of Leisure was released 2 years ago in the “chiilwave explosion of 2k9” and is still resonating today, and quite strongly might I add. This is made apparent by the fact that the Remix Artist Collective have decided to showcase it in their Vol. 2 which is out later this week. 

RAC has a tendency to keep some of their remixes a bit minimal in comparison to those by other artists. The tracks they remix still resemble the originals in quite a few ways but nevertheless a new charm is added that’ll make it just different enough. As is heard in the above track. Listen to the original below and make your own comparison.

‘New Theory’ by Washed Out.

THANKS!!

It’s too quiet in here. Let’s break the silence with one of my favorite artists.

His name is André Allen Anjos and he’s quite the talented young man. At the ripe age of 25, he has worked his way into the hearts of many electro lovers and the ears of many more; possibly yours. How, you ask?

He is the founder and most notable member of the Remix Artist Collective (RAC). Anjos was fed up with the generic ‘cut and paste/crank the bass’ style of remixing songs, so he decided to do something about it. In my professional opinion, he reinvented the act of remixing a song. Now say that ten times fast.

Just listen to the track posted above. It’s a mix of digital and physical instruments working together in perfect musical harmony. If I hadn’t spent the last few lines rambling on about remixes, you would probably have no idea that it’s actually an altercation of an original song by The Black Ghosts (another group worth noting).

Anjos not only ‘remixes’ songs, he picks them apart and rewrites them. If you were to compare the original of any song he’s mixed, to his version, the two are a far cry from each other. They are so different to the extent that one could say they are entirely different songs with separate vibes, emotions and overall sounds.

Now, here’s where you may have blindly… uh, yeah, blindly heard Anjos before. Apart from rewriting, he does compose his own original work. He created and recorded the entire score for the movie Holy Rollers that was released earlier this year. He has done work for popular TV shows such as Entourage and 90210. He ALSO has done various advertising work for companies such as Coca-Cola, Verizon and the NBA. This is all without mention to his talents as a sound engineer and producer.

Once again I’ll say it. Talented guy.

You should check out RAC’s website and get comfortable once you stumble upon their soundcloud. RAC’s entire portfolio is there, waiting to tickle your ear drums. The majority is also ready for free download so you can show all your friends.

Happy listening to whoever’s listening.
