Bag Raiders

Bag Raiders are an Australian electronic and dance duo formed by Jack Glass and Chris Stracey. Emerging from Sydney in the late 2000s, the pair built a sound rooted in nu-disco and synth-pop, blending warm analog synths, funk-inflected basslines, and vocoded or falsetto vocals into tracks that feel both nostalgic and dancefloor-ready.

The duo's self-titled debut album introduced their signature sound, and its standout single «Shooting Stars» became an unlikely global phenomenon years after release, propelled by internet meme culture where the track's shimmering intro was paired with viral video clips. Beyond that breakout moment, songs like «Way Back Home» and «Sunlight» showed a knack for melodic, feel-good production that placed them alongside acts in the broader nu-disco and indie-dance revival of the era.

Bag Raiders have continued releasing music steadily, maintaining a lower public profile compared to their meme-driven fame while remaining respected within dance and electronic circles for their production craft and consistent, upbeat aesthetic.
