Bankrobber Remixes Songs from the Past to Call Action on the Future

With the state of the nation being as it is, experiential agency Bankrobber (a sister company of Brooklyn-based creative agency Madwell), wanted to support the Black Lives Matter movement with a call-to-action. The team created remixes of two songs from another time that draw sad, yet real parallels to the current day:

• The Temptations ‘Ball of Confusion’, a song that shouldn’t be so timely 50 years later: The Temptations | Ball of Confusion | A Bankrobber Remix (Trigger Warning: Police violence)


• Junior Byles reggae classic, ‘Fade Away’ reminding us that those bereft of humanity and love will eventually do just that:  Junior Byles | Fade Away | A Bankrobber Remix 


The two songs balance both tension and resolution and were debuted to the whole team last Friday as the introduction to their company-wide observation of Juneteenth. In order to execute this project, the Bankrobber team called upon Sajjad Musa, a Brooklyn-based visual artist who is largely focused on social commentary, to design the cover art. The prints are being sold and 100% of the profits are being donated to The National Bail Fund.
