Big Fun

Released in late 2009, Big Fun serves as a bridge between Bag Raiders' early underground success and their eventual global breakthrough. While the duo is often associated with the lighter, more tropical 'Shooting Stars' sound, this EP highlights their integration into the 'fidget' and 'electro' scenes of the time. The inclusion of remixes from heavyweights like Jan Driver and Jokers of the Scene signals the duo's standing within the Modular Recordings-adjacent ecosystem of Australian electronic music. Sonically, the EP is a masterclass in 2000s digital production, featuring heavy compression, aggressive filtering, and the 'wall of sound' approach to synth layering. It represents a more club-focused side of the band, prioritizing dancefloor utility and rhythmic grit over the pure pop structures found on their later full-length debut. Critically, it remains a cult favorite for fans of the 'blog-house' aesthetic, prized for its high energy and historical context within the Sydney dance scene.
