Bag Raiders: Remixed

Gotta love releases that kinda come out of nowhere, when you expect them the least. But that’s what happens when superb labels prefer quality over quantity. What we get is a supercharged package of ‘turbo love’ remixes, the a-side of the last ep by the Bag Raiders, who have just returned from their Middle American bowling alley DJ tour.

Exclusive Review: Bag Raiders – Turbo Love

Suneel — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 08:00:00 +0000

Artist: Bag Raiders
Title: Turbo Love
Label: Bang Gang
Format: Vinyl
Release Date: 10/22/2008
Audio Sample: Listen

“Turbo Love” – the third EP from Australia’s Bag Raiders, dropped last week via Bang Gang. ‘Turbo Love’ is an exploration of vocoders and synthesizers galore. The sound of Aussie exports Gus Da Hoodrat, Jack Sabbath, and Chris Brave (a.k.a. Bag Raiders) is, according to their buds at the BangGang 12 Inches label, ‘a bit familiar but you can’t pick it so you just keep dancing.’

“Turbo Love” opens with victory instrumentals soaring over a short snippet of demented, tweaky, heavy beats. Then in bounds the rich, feel-good 4/4 party chords accompanied by electro-funk talk-box vocals and synthetic handclaps. After a brief, sentimental interlude, the trio summarily rebuilds the cheerful layers, carrying the party to its full potential and then leaving before everyone else does…

Overall, if placed correctly, this can be a vicious weapon to take an event to the next level. But be weary of the non-friendly DJ format of the track; someone needs to tell the nu disco / indie dance scene about making tracks more dj friendly. Why do producers make tracks difficult to mix? Don’t they want as many DJs as possible to play their tracks? Don’t they want the DJs playing their tracks to sound good mixing in & out of their tracks? Just a few closing thoughts. those savvy in the re-editing department will enjoy this track for weeks to come!

Better known to their growing army of fans as Chris and Jack, as Bag Raiders they’ve also reached a considerably wider crowd, principally through debut EP ‘Fun Punch’ on the Bang Gang 12 Inches label and a slew of remixes for the likes of Midnight Juggernauts, K.I.M. and Lost Valentinos. Currently working on their own tracks for Bang Gang 12 Inches and A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold, as well as a remix for Cut Copy, they took time out to speak to Skrufff about life and love in 21st century Oz.
