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 [...]

Puh, ist schon lange her, als Simon mich auf The Pragmatic aufmerksam gemacht hat. Seit diesem Tag, es muss so Ende '08 gewesen sein, erscheinen sie auf all meinen Playlisten. Denn "Circles" ist das wohl unbekannteste beste Lied der Welt. Dazu noch, dass die Band ihre Lieder und EPs über Torrent und Rapidshare freigibt vergrößert den coolness Faktor dieser ungemein. Ein Mix aus [...]

DOWNLOAD: MP3 / iTUNES And here is the fourteenth installment of the pmaCAST, a bi-monthly playlist that I hope will enrich and soundtrack your week. This week I went with a digital vibe that I have been shaking off for a while now. It has caught up with me, and has now permeated through the pmaCAST. I use some all-time favorites (Belle & Sebastien, LCD Soundsystem, Roisin Murphy, Daft Punk, Peaches) as well as some new-found loves (Fred Falke, obiously, everyone else). I'm not going to upload [...]

eve massacre - IOU a Pragmatic Phantom [ mp3 ] Justice / The Pragmatic VS Freeez beautiful noize from eve

I first heard The Pragmatic , like many others, through that kick ass remix of Justice's "Phantom III". Then I came to find out that Andre Allen Anjos of RAC is a co-composer of The Pragmatic. Then I came to find out they were releasing a ton of new music through their website . They put out an EP, Circles , that is comprised of thick video game synths and brooding postal service pop hooks and verses. Their most recent release is the Circles single which you can get for free and features [...]

So much to do, so little time. Have a couple contracts to send out, a song pitch for a US tv show, a massive mailout and an e-card. Realisitically, I'll get this done middle of next week, but I'd really like to use Friday to make a big dent in that. So, quick post here. A couple of things that are peaking my interest. - RCRD LBL has a remix of The Pragmatic 's Circles by Montreal's Montag . -Head to Dear Euphoria 's myspace page to hear [...]
Para finalizar esta primeira série da Optimus Discos, um projecto luso-americano liderado pro André Allen Anjos e Karl Kling. São os The Pragmatic: " O amor aos sintetizadores analógicos, a arma de eleição dos The Pragmatic, é a base desta banda com sede na cidade norte-americana de Saint Louis, mas em cujas veias corre sangue português. André Anjos nasceu deste lado do Atlântico, oceano que cruzou em 2005 para estudar Gestão de Música. Na universidade, licenciou-se no curso pretendido e conheceu as pessoas com quem viria a partilhar a vida - musical e também pessoal, pois Liz Anjos, que nos [...]
In this week's paper, Christian Schaeffer reviews the Pragmatic's debut EP, Circles. He had this to say: On its self-released Circles EP, it's hard to miss the influence of the Postal Service, the co... Continue reading "Homespun: The Pragmatic, Circles EP" >

RAC collective band The Pragmatic have just released their debut EP and they are giving it away as a free download. It's really good so get it now it's gonna blow up (probably). DOWNLOAD: The Pragmatic 'Circles EP'

i'm in no position to talk about what is and isn't mine The Pragmatic - Deathmatch The Pragmatic first hit the scene last October with "Circles," a song that was instantly put on my playlist for that month. This past week saw the release of a full EP (Released for FREE). Five songs that range from the contemplative "Circles" to the frenetic "Deathmatch," but all thickly coated in crunchy analog synths courtesy of band member André Allen Anjos (Mr. RAC himself). Don't let his star status fool you, [...]

The Pragmatic is the side project of international well-known remixer RAC. They've finally finished and released their very first EP. It's called Circles EP and came out at the end of last week via Optimus Rec. This has been an insane ride for them for the past 2 years & they really hope you take the time to check it out, I totally recommend it. RAC is a huge supporter of file-sharing and thus this release is availabke now for FREE, simple click HERE for your .zip unit. "Rendezvous" | [...]

The Pragmatic . A St. Louis duo turned 5-piece band featuring RAC 's André Anjos. He's brought us a ton of great remixes in the past, and with this band, they seem to be getting the same blog love he normally does. Check out the lead-off/title track Circles . The voice and synths might make you think of Ben Gibbard . I actually think it's what an electronic side project of John K. Sampson 's would sound like. You can download the EP here . If you get [...]

8.2 out of 10 stars RAC aka Andre Anjos has quickly become Pretty Much Amazing's favorite remix artist. With remixes like " Cobrastyle ," " Nude ," and " Just Dance ," you won't ask me why. And just last night, Andre tweeted me and told me about the band he's in, The Pragmatic . Who knew RAC was in a band? I didn't. Earlier today, The Pragmatic released their debut EP called Circles . The EP features five robust songs that serve as an excellent teasure for what will surely [...]
While at work tonight, I'm going to capitalize on my hours of solace boredom to come up with a new feature but figure there is no harm embarking on another voyage into the free . This is the first time I've dabbled with an mpFree but with coaxing from Web Sheriff , I've decided to come out of my shell. The Pragmatics make for the perfect debut, a combination of funk and experimental pop that showcases man's (beautifully sounding) relationship with machine. [MP3] The Pragmatics - Academy [...]

You probably already know of The Pragmatic from either their exceptionally great Justice cover/remix (Phantom Pt. III) or more likely through co-songwriter Andre's extensive and achingly awesome work with The RAC . Yeah you do. Those two points of reference should give you a good idea of what to expect from the Pragmatic's new EP (Circles). It shows a deep love for all things electronic, with a mix of distorted synth bass rolls, classic 8-Bit sounds and crunchy drum machine beats. But the interesting part is that the EP is not confined to just those [...]
