Title: The RAC - Who/What are they?
Post by: Tongs on 03 Mar 2008, 12:01

So more and more, I've been noticing a lot of bands with remix's by RAC. Almost all of them are really good (Although never really experimenting much with the original song and more or less playing it "safe") and so I'm just wondering, what/who is RAC? Their website just says "an artist agency strictly devoted to remixing." Just wondering if anyone else had some further info as I'm really interested in the work these guys do.

Whoaw, I didn't even see that text.
It's all jumbled up on my browser...

As long as this is on the front page it might as well have something interesting in it. This article essentially predicts two things:

1. Post-rock is coming, and it will be cool.

2. Eventually groups will be effortlessly bridging the gap between jamming/live energy and technology. Essentially, this dude predicted battles 14 years ago.

That article was awesome, but the post rock being referred to there is pretty much different than what most people would call post-rock today (as in Slint, Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed! etc.). These bands emphasize the "rock" more than the bands in the article, which most likely are focusing on the "post".

That guitar synth thing sounded really cool, I kinda want one now.
