RAC Mix of ‘Trying to be cool’, and surely that’s what we’re all trying for in our lives. \u00a0Billions of little\u00a0Fonzie’s<\/a>\u00a0combing our hair in the mirror and secretly saying ‘Hey’. \u00a0Phoenix do seem to get lots of remixes within the house music community. \u00a0The chances are if you’re a -EDM DJ- you were probably aware of this French band from\u00a0Versailles\u00a0before you heard any of their original output.\u00a0Apparently\u00a0they made some kind of ‘treaty’ with dance music. (that was terrible, shoot me). \u00a0That thought brings us nicely to the\u00a0plodding\u00a0melody and the heartbreaking yearning chorus of ‘Trying To Be Cool’ was Thomas Mars\u00a0mining\u00a0some dark\u00a0embedded\u00a0teenage memory, I suspect yes.<\/p>\n The second track an RAC original ‘Hollywood’ released last year is coated in Nu Disco spices and served with a very catchy chorus of\u00a0‘H<\/em>ollywood’ . \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0Shall we say an 80’s early 90’s \u00a0vibe on this 3 mins and 16 secs. \u00a0I am reminded of ‘Hockey’ and ‘Song Away’ as they both \u00a0evoke picture post card memories of a not so distant past that didn’t\u00a0necessarily\u00a0exists, perhaps in the sugar coated vaults of your mind or maybe a Steven Spielberg movie from the era. \u00a0Happy Times!<\/p>\n RAC<\/p><\/div>\n From Portland Origan USA, real name\u00a0Andr\u00e9 Allen Anjos. \u00a0RAC means ‘Remix Artist Collective’. \u00a0Andre and his pals began remixing all kinds of artists from\u00a0Lana Del Ray<\/a>\u00a0to Mando Diao yes even\u00a0Mando Diao<\/a>\u00a0famous as bread in main land Europe but in English speaking countries they have been unable to gain a secure foot hold. \u00a0An extensive RAC remix list can be found by clicking this\u00a0link<\/a>\u00a0over 9 hours of material and to be completely honest I haven’t listened to even half of it, I have found in the past that if I wanted to find a cheeky remix of a current pop song RAC would have done it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"RAC\"](\"http:\/\/www.veryfunkyrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/RAC-Image.jpg\")
