Pop | RAC Takes ZZ Ward’s “LOVE 3X” to the Dance Floor
Posted by Tay on July 8, 2015
ZZ Ward is a pop starlet who is just awaiting the release of her new album This Means War that is due out this September. A single off the LP, “LOVE 3X,” is seeing itself get the remix treatment from a number of producers, and the first of the bunch is indie-pop remixing champion RAC. Not in his usual commercial house style, RAC lets ZZ Ward’s vocals stay in its sing-a-long demeanor while he puts a fluttering bass, hiccup percussion, and spiced up vocal chops to give it that electronic-tinge. RAC never fails to impress and neither does ZZ Ward.

Contests, House | Verve Remixed: The First Ladies (Incl. Kaskade, Pretty Lights, Flume & More) Vinyl Giveaway
Posted by Middy on August 26, 2013
Verve recently released a ridiculous remix package for their illustrious roster of female vocalists they have had over the years. The remixes include a wide variety of styles and genres, from deep house to progressive to dubstep, really giving these classics a modern dance music twist. The remix roster reads like an all-star festival lineup, with the likes of Flume, Kaskade, Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, Maya Jane Coles, RAC, Carnage & more, all taking their turns at these songs. If you did not grab this remix package, or want an upgrade in quality and style, we are giving away one red and black vinyl double LP, as you can see above. Even if you don’t have a record player, having records is the hip thing to do now, so you will want this.
To enter, you can either go to our Facebook page and “like” the post about this giveaway, or go to our twitter page and retweet our post. This is only available to those who live in the United States, sorry. Winner will be chosen this Thursday at 5pm. After the jump is the video for the Zed’s Dead remix.
If you aren’t a betting person, and I recommend you become one for this (it looks so cool), you can always buy it from Amazon, Beatport or iTunes.
House | Ginuwine – Pony (Viceroy “Jet Life” Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 31, 2013
We have long followed Viceroy’s progress from a mashup creator to a budding producer on the cusp of real success, making jams that resonate with the sound of summer. With the calendar fast approaching that bountiful and hot season, you will need to exchange those dark, brooding house tracks for cheery, groovy, bright tracks that are perfect for the sunshine, outdoors and pools. The summertime, all the time mentality that Austen Afridi, aka Viceroy brings with his tunes is just what you need to fill in the gaps for your summer playlists. Keeping the island vibe that we have heard in the previous five “Jet Life” remixes, Viceroy adds his smooth bassline and synth chords to the 90s classic from Ginuwine. Also for everyone in New York, he will be at Webster Hall the 14th with remix phenom RAC and Solidisco, a night of funk and disco you don’t want to miss. Grab your tickets here.

The boys over at Solé Bicycles are back at it again with another installment of their monthly Fixtape series. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Solé, they’re a visionary lifestyle brand based in Venice, CA that specializes in fixed gear bicycles. These bikes are definitely worth checking out so don’t sleep on them and keep your eyes peeled for a custom FNT Solé bike which will be released shortly (right Brian Ruben?) This month’s mixtape was crafted by LA’s own Goldroom who provides a sound like nothing we’ve posted before. It’s different, but it’s fantastic…do yourself a favor and just sit back and start a relationship with this sensual mix for the next hour (tracklist after the jump).
Mixtapes | RAC – Solé Fixtape Vol. 3

The boys over at Sole Bicycles are back at it again with their third installment of their signature “fixtapes,” teaming up with the Portland DJ Duo known as, RAC. RAC creates a fresh, funky mix with a wide variety of tracks that mesh almost too well. Appreciate the approach they took with this one as it features tracks that stray from the mainstream norm of big room synth’s everyone and their grandmother are slapping together these days. Download the mix, check out the bikes here, and as Solé puts it…”Vibe with us as you ride off into the future.”
