RAC (Remix Artist Collective) Biography

The Portuguese music producer and DJ known as RAC (Remix Artist Collective) was born Andre Allen Anjos. Today, RAC is known for an extensive catalogue of remixes—totally more than two hundred to date—and for live performances at some of the world’s most notable festivals. But RAC—today a solo act—was actually established in 2007 and done so in partnership with fellow remixers Chris Angelovski and Aaron Jasinski.

RAC rose to prominence with the remix for The Shins’ “Sleeping Lessons,” earning critical acclaim and attention from a number of other artists. It wasn’t long before RAC was receiving coverage from online sites such as Pitchfork Media and even print magazines and newspapers. In 2010, RAC released a debut album, Holy Rollers OST, followed by Chapter One (2012.) Both albums featured collections of various remixes and some original material, as did the albums to follow—Strangers (2014) and Master Spy (2014.)

Notable single which appeared on these albums include “If You Forget Me” (with Liset Alea); “Hollywood” (with Penguin Prison); “Let Go” (with Kele); and “We Belong” (with Katie Herzig.) But additional non-album singles from RAC include “Can’t Forget You” (with Chelsea Lankes); “3am” (with Katie Herzig); and “Magic Hour” (with Little Boots.) In addition, RAC has remixed for some of the era’s most notable musicians, including Kings of Leon, Death Cab for Cutie, Foster the People, Linkin Park, and Lady Gaga.

In 2016, RAC earned a Grammy Award for best Remix Recording for “Say My Name,” and repeated the achievement in 2017 with another Grammy Award in the same category for the remix “Tearing Me Up.” RAC’s most recent album, Ego, arrived in 2017; it features the songs “This Song” (featuring Rostam); “The Beautiful Game” (featuring St. Lucia); and “I Still Wanna Know” (featuring Rivers Cuomo.)
