Originally from Portugal, Anjos founded RAC in Illinois and became coordinator of the Remix Artist Collective. Later, Andrew Maury (New York) and Karl Kling (Portland) joined RAC. Anjos is the only current member of RAC.
The vision of the Remix Artist Collective was to maintain a style of remixing that strays from the "club mix" archetype, creating new incarnations of songs that stem from the original structure, but expand on their genre and musical arrangement. Early RAC mixes typically feature a blend of hip-hop and vintage drum machine samples, analog synthesizers, melodic hooks, and original instrumentation performed by the remix artists themselves.
Anjos' signature remixing sound is in large part a result of some of his equipment, notably, a 1982 Roland Juno-60 and 1973 Univox MiniKorg, though he has also been known to manipulate analog tape machines to achieve effects, and primarily works with Ableton Live software to do so.
As electronic music becomes more respected and entrenched in the music establishment - and a remix has become much more than a simple reworking of a song - the genre is taking off as a hotbed for musical experimentation. RAC’s Strangers is evidence that electronic artists can create music that is more than just synth and bass but genuine artistry. RAC has moved away from remixes of popular songs to creating its own music, and proved just as successful, if not more.
RAC brings its trademark upbeat, ’80s-throwback sound to a number of different genres: “Hollywood”, featuring electropop band Penguin Prison, sounds like it could be a hit single for The Strokes while “We Belong” is an epic six-minute orchestral electro ballad that lets Katie Herzig’s waiflike voice carry the song to its beautiful climax.
Unsurprisingly, the production and instrumentation are usually the stars of each song, which is an astounding achievement given the caliber of artists RAC is collaborating with for vocals. Violins, drum machines and synth all flow together impeccably, sometimes stealing the spotlight from Tegan & Sara, Tokyo Police Club and Alex Ebert from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
Because RAC knows its sound so well, the album is seamless without becoming repetitive. The only missteps are brief interludes of experimental sound, which are interesting in a diverting sort of way but ultimately distract from experiencing the album as a whole. The best track on the album is easily its opener “Let Go”, which was originally released back in 2013 but remains just as fresh on the album. The hook of “Let go, let go of your fire” is incredibly catchy while Kele Okereke of Bloc Party sings the verses with his honey-like, lightly accented voice.
While the album has flown relatively under the radar despite the “Let Go” music video, amassing three-quarters of a million views on YouTube, music website Hype Machine streamed the album for a week before its release and many of the individual songs have hit number one on Hype Machine’s rankings. Still, with songs as perfect for summer as “Let Go” and the Tokyo Police Club collaboration “Tourist” it’s only a matter of time before RAC becomes known for more than just its remixes.
