The first time I heard about RAC was from Rachel Reynolds, the music publicist at KCRW. Being the lovely sleuth that she is about all things hip and current, she reached out to the Remix Artist Collective to find out who they were since their remixes were starting to become buzz tracks around the station. The resulting blog post about it is really great - explaining who they are and what their remix philosophy is.
Since then I’ve watched as more people have started to get behind them and give them some buzz - including one of my favorite people in the world, Sierra, who also wrote a little blog post on her fantastically curated blog with her picks for favorite RAC remixes available as free downloads from their website.
That’s right, you read correctly: available for FREE download. Just travel to their website and you’ve got over a hundred mixes to check out, almost all of which you can download for free if you dig them. Like this awesome Peter Bjorn and John “Second Chance (RAC Mix).”

RAC will perform tonight at Mesa in Costa Mesa and man I wish I lived anywhere near that location so I could go check it out. I’m hopeful they end up adding some other LA dates to their tour schedule, because if not it looks like I’ll be taking that trip to Miami after all. ;)
In the spirit of staying home to catch them, I have to share this video the RAC gang shared on their tumblr site of their Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros’ “Home (RAC Mix)” set behind scenes from that epic early nineties saga Homeward Bound.
