I found their remixes while searching for some music by an artist named ‘A-bee’. As I was scrolling through his blog to see what other musical treasures he hand posted, I came upon an album titled, ‘Stereogum presents RAC vol. 1.’ The author of the blog seemed to like their songs so I decided to download it to check it out. At first, it really didn’t hit me as interesting or grabbed my attention in any demanding way and so I left it by the wayside. However, today, I accidentally rediscovered the albums full potential by putting my iTunes to shuffle and cranking up the volume. When one of the songs on the album came up, it caught me by surprise because I couldn’t believe how spunky it sounded and the added beats really made you want to get up and dance! The bass was much more pronounced now with the increased volume and boy was it a helluva a beat. I did some more research and discovered that it was founded by a Portuguese remixer named Andre Anjos. He then recruited two more remix artists: Andrew Maury and Crookram. However, most of the songs released are remixes done by Andre Anjos. The RAC’s style of remixing is a detachment of the mainstream of popular techno/electro/trance remixes of rock/indie/alt songs. Instead of almost completely restructuring the original song and splicing bits and pieces of the original song into that remix, RAC contends to build from the original song, and enhancing it through simple loops that complement rather than recreate the original song. So, without further ado, an example of RAC’s remixed songs. Download site
A personal Favorite:
I watched the American Le Mans Series at Sebring on the Speed channel today and once again, Audi has triumphed the competition with their new prototype and on top of that, the car wasn’t tuned to it’s full potential due to bad testing weather in Europe! Nothing short of amazing. There was a lot of focus on the P1 class as it contained the marvelous competition between Audi, Peugot, and the debut of the P1 Acura prototype. Unfortunately though, the two P1 Acuras suffered multiple mechanical issues during the race and could not contribute to the fierce competition in the P1 class. However, it’s only the beginning of the Le Mans season and so hopefully we’ll see a strong comeback. Yet again, I cannot get enough of the Audi Teams. Their pit strategy, precision, efficiency, and focus are revered in the racing industry. It’s not only the drivers that win the race but the synergy of the team managers and engineers/mechanics that creates a winning team. And Team Audi’s you can be sure is top notch. Since I didn’t watch the race until it was nearly over, I missed the new GT2 BMW M3 entrant. Apparently, it only did 27 laps. Eek! According to PitNotes, the car seemed to have suffered some kind of oil leak that couldn’t be fixed. 
So I watched Watchmen Friday night and, overall, it was interesting. But it started off soo slow, I mean, I had to actually pay attention to keep awake. Usually, when I go to see movies, I just mindlessly watch because it’s the creative cinematography, awesome CG’s, humor, action, and suspense that keeps my eyes glued onto the screen. Not that this movie didn’t have any of these, but the way it was presented needed an audience that was more interested in the social or psychological insanity of humans. The movie’s plot was like sitting in a train and watching the hills gently rise up and down, and then when you were nearing your stop, there’d be some cows chewing on grass to accompany your vague interests. Though there were some climaxes to grab your attention, it wasn’t built up too well. And there were so many distractions that you’d have to take notes to understand where the story was going. Granted, I have yet to read the comic, and squeezing the entire series into a nearly 3hr movie is quite a feat I will give praise to. Other than that, if you’re into the comic, or just want to see some swanky superheroes, sex, watch some mentally f*cked up characters, and a glowing blue man that can practically do anything except understand human-beings, than go ahead and knock your socks off. But I have to say, there were a lot of interesting social and psychological aspects of the movie. And Rorschach was the coolest character by far. My favorit quote, “You guys don’t understand, I’m not locked in here with you, you’re locked up in here with ME!” or something along those lines. But so badass.
