Bag Raiders today unveil their next stream of music via a new double A-Side, ‘Right Here / Saliba’ out via their own imprint Broken Head Records.
Keeping in line with Bag Raiders’ dancefloor-centred, fast-paced stamp of electronic music, ‘Right Here’ is an infectious, big-room melodic cut, with a hook that shines through, of which they share it being a, “Straight up and down house banger. No frills, maximum thrills. Cannot wait to unleash. Let the good times roll. This is an ode to old school sample house. Proof that if you have a good baseline and your drums smack, you really don’t need anything else.”
‘Saliba’ on the other hand takes a more percussive route with a heavy 70s-esque guitar riff, a track that has been road-tested in Bag Raiders’ DJ sets around the world over the past 12 months. Bag Raiders elaborate, “We’ve been playing this out in various forms for over a year now and it goes off. All hail the kring! The brief here was keep it rough and wonky like an old tin shed. We wanted the percussion and the guitars to be as rude as possible. We love suspense. When the track cuts out for a bar near the beginning you can tell the crowd is like, “oh no, did something go wrong up there?!” And then, boom, normal service resumed now with added bongo. What’s not to love?”
The release follows their Meg Mac collaboration ‘Love Me Back’, which was supported by triple j, iHeartRadio Australia, Rolling Stone Australia, 10 Magazine, Life Without Andy, Purple Sneakers and more for their ability to finesse repeat listens. In support of the release, Bag Raiders will be soon taking off on a huge run of live shows and DJ sets across Indonesia and Australia this December and January, which included a recent special performance at the Sydney Opera House for SYNTHONY.
