ALLRIGHT!! A day off to clear my head and to come to my senses. Not to bad at all. I'd like to dedicate this posting to happy happy music and to the sake of beeing just whatever you feel like beeing. There're lots of bands doing happy happy music, but very few who does it good. It's really a hard thing. In my opinion among the hardest. Not only do you want to avoid sounding cheezy, it's very hard to build loops that aren't too repetitive. Now, maybe there're better examples, maybe there aren't, australian duo Bag Raiders [...]
Artwork by Sean Kennedy Santos Aside from working, I am anxiously awaiting two things. The third Bloody Beetroots appearance in this city in the last two months. This time it will be with LA Riots again at Smartbar for free. They say nothing comes for free. But sometimes they are full of shit. If only the [...]
This is like "itchy glitchy spider" climbing up a wall. The crazy Australian remixes up fellow Australians Bag Raiders to some fucked up glitch/justice/break effect! Whilst on the other hand, "Best Party Ever" is, also a glitchy electro monster, cutting up samples with a drilling bassline and one of the most catchy choruses i've heard [...]
Bag Raiders day here at Discobelle! First of we got the new Headman 123 that gets a Bag Raiders remix. The 123 Catch Me If U Can also got a remix from Tronik Youth and is out now by Gomma . Second of is a double Australian affair with a Calling in Sick remix of Bag Raiders old hit "Fun Punch". This remix almost makes you forget that it isn't 2007 anymore. Headman - Catch Me If You Can (Bag [...]
Calling in Sick blended Bagraiders "Fun Punch" for fun, for having a good time and a delicious dinner with beats, snares and kicks that punch your stomach until you digest a 5-Course-Menu consisting of: 1.) a cheeky blasting intro, 2.) an elegant transition to a 3.) shortstop at the second base relaxing to a gentle melody, 4.) going crazy on top of mount everest and 5.) let you hanging in your armchair lush and satisfied. Mp3: Bagraiders - Fun Punch (Calling in Sick Remix)
My beloved Sydney electro duo Calling in Sick have brought out the goods, once again. Ever since I was told there was a 'Fun Punch' remix in the works a little while ago my little heart jumped. You all should remember the original, made by the infamous Bag Raiders ; without doubt it was one of the biggest tunes of 2007. A few remixes have been churned out (I'm talking about ZZZ and Bag Raider's own remix in particular) but the Calling in Sick boys managed to cope with the pressure and bring out their own version, [...]
Whenever I read anything offline about The Bagraiders, it is all how they're 'sooo proper musicians' and they're classically trained. Well in saying that I don't think this remix, by fellow Sydney homeboys Calling in Sick , could get anymore classical as they themselves have clocked their fair share of traditional music theory. This is quality, people. Do the math: +Sydney vs Sydney +Duo (unofficially?) vs Duo +Classically trained vs Classically trained +Bloghouse vs Bloghouse +Big future vs Big future = The Bagraiders - Fun Punch (Calling in Sick)
So you wanna have the greatest easter break possible...... Imagine leaving a mediocre house party You hop into a cab, blind drunk, for a 30min trip to go and watch a bunch of top class DJ's play their sets You get all the way to the city only to find that the cabbie is lost Still smashed you get the cabbie to stop for a second so you can lean out the door and ask some random blokes on the pavement for directions Turns out they're going the same place as you and are [...]
I have been listening to a lot of albums over the last month so my knowledge of remixes and dance music has slightly fallen behind. Luckily I was still able to gather a few very special tracks for the next instalment of A Derogatory Playlist. A Derogatory Playlist PT V - Easter Egg Special Download; 1. The Ting Tings - Great DJ (Calvin Harris Remix) 2. Settlefish - Summerdrip (Amari Night Members Club Rmx) [...]
Alright, Bag Raiders ; I have no clue what the name means, but that's besides the point. Link numero uno is their website-- not finished, but its got some flash previews of their self-titled EP , released August 15, 2007. Oh yea, and here is their myspace . They're from Sydney. They have sick album art. And they're a refreshingly different type of electro. So, here it is: DL : Bag Raiders - Punch Reprise
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaggg Raaaaaiiiiiidddddderrrrsss. Everyone knows I'm a slave for the Raiders . So naturally I was all over their latest 12", Bag Raiders Remixed. Knightlife , Whitenoise , ZZZ and all lined up for some seriously good stuff. It's something of a testament to how good things are down these parts with all the amazing work the guys commissioned (Damage is still working on his mix and last I checked Like Woah's remix turned into an original. All Aussie Goodness). Here's an extra special gem. Glorious. Bag [...]
Just a quick one of what i've been listening to/playing out. The World Domination vs Adam Sky - Galactic Lover I heard this song without knowing what it was, but quickly made the connection. It's a really cool return to Fun Punch, which is less exciting but more interesting. Bag Raiders - Punch Reprise It's a pretty good combination - Kylie and CSS. Kylie Minogue - WOW (CSS Remix) The signature Breakbot sound, maybe a bit [...]
I find myself saying this at least once a day. Australia, with the bag raiders , midnight juggernauts , and knightlife make my life that much better. In Australia, it's a big gay circle jerk of bands that put out amazing sounds and once they're done, they all trade tracks and put out amazing remixes. An after that they drink fosters and hang out with kangaroos all day. And when they flush their toilets the water spins the other way. Here are 3 infinitely amazing remixes these kids did [...]
Septième playlist pour ce début de Fevrier, je vous propose une petite selection (comme d'habitude vous me direz...) qui change légèrement de d'habitude (ne vous inquiétez pas le changement n'est pas énorme). Entre French Touch et Web 2.0 je vous laisse vous y retrouver. (more...) playlist , Vous y êtes !* Playlist #7
I really thought I was dreaming late last night. It was early Thursday morning, 3am or so and I hoped that something funky was going to appear on Beatport . Man, was I in shock. After my much hyped post the other day, I finally got my mitts on the other Raider's 'Fun Punch' remixes! I must admit, I've had the Whitenoise remix for a while but I'm pretty they re-touched it and now it just sounds more electrifying - pure bliss. But my pick of the bunch would go to the [...]
Our anniversary week wouldn't be complete without the inclusion of our favorite production/dj crew from down under. The crazy guys in Bag Raiders release their "Remixed EP" on Bang Gang this week. We proudly present the cinematic electro reworking of "Nil By Mouth" by fellow countryman Knightlife . Bag Raiders - Nil By Mouth (Knightlife remix) (YSI) Bag Raiders - Nil By Mouth (Knightlife remix) (zShare) Book Mark it-> del.icio.us | [...]
Have Fun Club posted this the other day. It's...get this... an acoustic cover of Bag Raiders Fun Punch by 19 year old, Sydney based Cassian . The fact that it sounds like it's been layed down using the most rudemetory of recording equipment, and that the timing is sometimes a little off, only adds to the tracks overall charm. MP3: Bag Raiders - Punch Fun (Cassian's Acoustic Remake) DOWNLOAD The Hype Machine didn't index the Enkel Apa tracks I [...]
Yeah well here is a severely pretty cover of Bagraiders "fun punch" covered by fellow Sydney kid, 19 year old Cassian. He also has some of his own more dancey productions up on his space suss it. My only complaint is that I can't help but imagine how amazing this track could be if it had a Soko or Soko-alike humming sweet cute catchy vox over the top.
