things I love: australia, bag raiders, midnight juggernauts, knightlives

I find myself saying this at least once a day. Australia, with the bag raiders, midnight juggernauts, and knightlife make my life that much better.

In Australia, it’s a big gay circle jerk of bands that put out amazing sounds and once they’re done, they all trade tracks and put out amazing remixes. After that they drink edit: talk shit on fosters beer and hang out with kangaroos all day. And when they flush their toilets the water spins the other way.

Here are 3 infinitely amazing remixes these kids did of each other’s tracks:

sooo sick.
This already very healthy MJ track gets their bags raided. You won’t guess where they take this track until you get into the first chorus. ohhhh eeemmmm geeeeeeeee
Midnight Juggernauts - Twenty Thousand Leagues (Bag Raiders Remix)

sooo sick.
Classic Knightlife drums and synth rhythm right here. ON TOP OF A BAG RAIDERS TRACK!!!!FUCK!!!
Bag Raiders - Nil By Mouth (Knightlife Remix)

sooo sick.
Alright fine, this one is a Bag Raiders remix of Chicago’s Kid Sister, but it is UNSTOPPABLE. The signature Bag Raiders synth is in full force at the close of the track. hell yes.
Kid Sister - Pro Nails (Bag Raiders Remix)

    YEAH! Australia is pretty much rockin at the moment. You should check out some of Dirty South’s work.

    YEAH! Australia is definetly rockin’ it at the moment with heaps of talent. you should check out some Dirty South remixes, or look in to Van She new album as well as their remixes. Sneaky Sound System are doing pretty well too. Check out the Van She Tech Remix of their UFO track. I’m not sure whare you can find it, but you will.

    you should definitely NOT check out dirty south they suck big donkey balls. Van she remixes usually hit the spot though.

    p.s fosters is just about the worst aussie beer you’ll taste

    Dear nerd,

    Coincidentally, I blogged about sneaky, VST, and they are mighty fine. integral parts of my life.

  6. chris tuftsmania on February 5th, 2008 9:18 pm

    dear anon,

    as some of my older readers may know, i am a very strong follower of the van she tech.

    thank you for bashing dirty south. i am not too keen to shit on bands i’ve never heard so we’ll see what my ears have to say. (update: my ears say nay! anon, thanks again for bashing dirty south.)

    ps: i’m an ignorant american, and apparently in america, fosters is australian for beer. (if anyone wants to fly me out to australia so i can party please, email me as soon as possible)

    love you.

    the big gay circle jerk analogy is spot on. Excellent reporting.

    shoooootz tufts, i haven’t checked this in a while cuz i thought you’d fallen off the blogosphere. but i’m glad you’re back–with a vengeance!

    bisous

    ahahah i second that. big gay circle jerk.. its so true

  10. melbournite on February 9th, 2008 7:44 am

    its generally a misconception that because Foster is aussie, so we aussie only drank Foster. =p

    i like Piss, cause its made in melbourne. lol
    or u can try another exported aussie beer, XXXX

    I have to totally agree that right now, we are producing alot of hot talents. i am spoilt for gigs to go!

    cheers mate! COME VISIT AUSTRALIA!

  11. chris tuftsmania on February 9th, 2008 10:38 am

    FLY MY THERE!!! all i need is a one way ticket, i’ll stay forever.

    in case anyone doesn’t notice, I’ve edited the foster’s reference for accuracy.

  12. giantcupcakes on February 9th, 2008 7:27 pm

    You’re going to AUstrailia?????? hot damn!

  13. croque monsieur on February 10th, 2008 9:51 am

    big hate for fosters because they own everything. try little creatures, beez neez, piss or any premium australian beer… they rock.

    most aussies drink VB, XXXX (only in queensland), carlton and pure blonde. theyre ur average tap beers.

    anyways away from piss… it is a circle of gay. like in 2004/5 you could check out bang gang at moulin rouge, the presets at 77, van she and cut copy at candys for $5 a pop all in one big night in the cross. so awesome.

    and i respect dirty south heaps… i mean he is the only australian in the dj mag world top 100 right?

    whoa rant.

    oh and whitenoise will soon have some very fresh productions floating around soon ;)

  14. chris tuftsmania on February 10th, 2008 10:47 am

    mr. egg sandwich, I can’t wait for that shit man. Whitenoise is another one of my favorites.

    i need a correspondent in australia. or an office, so i can move there.

  15. there has to be something more… i know it’s in there : TUFTSMANIA SHLOG on April 6th, 2008 5:32 pm

    [...] Here’s a fairly recent remix of Secret Handshake. This band is part of a very…. interesting movement… which I like to call the emo-fag-failure-vocoded-electro movement popularized by the likes of Muscles et al. (who’s not gay –australia factor/remixed by gods –circle jerk effect). [...]
