BAG RAIDERS
The Bag Raiders debut EP (featuring “Fun Punch”) is out now through Bang Gang 12inches and available on vinyl and the internet in all the usual places. Fun Punch is currently on high rotation on both JJJ and FBi and is included on the Ministry of Sound Annual 2008. A Bag Raiders Remixed 12 is due out at the end of January with remixes from Knightlife, Whitenoise, ZZZ and a Bag Raiders remix of “Fun Punch”. Bag Raiders are also putting the finishing touches on a release for the Fool’s Gold label in the States. One track will feature a special guest vocalist. They’ll soon begin working on a second 12 for Bang Gang that will come out some time in 2008.
Bag Raiders have remixed Midnight Juggernauts, Sneaky Sound System, The Valentinos – included on the Kitsune Maison 3 compilation and released as a 12 on the same label, KIM (from the Presets) and Muscles – both out now on Bang Gang 12 inches. They’ve also finished a Harris Robotis remix for Tommy Sunshine’s label, a Thieves Like Us mix (vs. the Bang Gang Deejays) and, most recently, Supermal, Headman and Kid Sister remixes. They also did the production on Sydney rapper the Tongue’s “Bad Education” and have some other hip hop projects in the pipeline.
Bag Raiders deejay everywhere in Sydney and often travel interstate. In February they’ll tour Australia with Good Vibrations. They’ve supported internationals such as MSTRKRFT, DJ Mehdi, Guns ‘n’ Bombs, Tiefschwarz and Boys Noize. And play regularly alongside the likes of Ajax, Muscles, Van She Tech, KIM, Cut Copy and the Bang Gang. Bag Raiders have done live sets on radio stations JJJ and FBi and they recently mixed the second disc of FBii’s “It’s The Beat” compilation. Although they’ve temporarily pulled the plug on their full-blown live show, the Bag Raiders sometimes do a kind of decks ‘n’ fx show with samplers and keyboards.
