Anoraak Vs. We Have Band

I love We Have Band’s deep, electronic, hypnotic reMix of Anoraak’s awesome current single ‘Try Me’.

Released this month ‘Try Me’ is a post-Dreamwave (if that even is a thing yet?), Indie tinged, ElectroPop monster of a tune. We Have Band strip it down to intertwining arpeggios, processed vocals and haunting guitar lines over a tribal drum track that hammers the tune into your brain!

‘Try Me’ is out right now, ‘Wherever The Sun Sets’, being released 30th August.

Anoraak’s first single from ‘Wherever The Sun Sets’

The first single from French ElectroPop/Dreamwave pioneer Anoraak’s forthcoming album ‘Wherever The Sun Sets’ will be ‘Try Me’.

One of our most anticipated albums in the coming months, Anoraak’s début will be out at the end of this month with the single a couple of weeks ahead and if this track is any indication of what to expect from the album we are in for a treat. Upbeat and energetic, Anoraak has separated himself from much of the Dreamwave pack by incorporating swathes of New Wave guitar accompanying the trademark retro synth sounds and a damn catchy chorus.

The album should be huge!

‘Try Me’ drops 16th August with the album, ‘Wherever The Sun Sets’, being released 30th August.

New Anoraak track!

Anoraak ‘

Member of the Valerie posse and Dreamwave pioneer Anoraak has been quiet of late but today dropped a new track on the public via his Facebook page.

It’s a welcome return from Frédéric, I still listen to 2008’s ‘Nightdrive With You’ all the time and this new tune, ‘Above Your Head’ has the same vibe going on. This is the prefect way to make emotional electronic music with a smooth, chilled summer vibe. If you were looking for some ElectroPop to while away these warm nights we’re getting recently to, then look no further:

Anoraak’s full length début is due on 30th August on naïve.

Shy Child; The Anoraak reMix!

ShyChild04

We’ve waited with baited breath for the most exiting (to us at least) reMix from the forthcoming Shy Child single ‘Disconnected’. Now the wait is over.

Anoraak’s take on the tune is every bit as good as we had hoped. The meeting of Shy Child and Anoraak is just a clash of two of our favourite artists. The reMix is mostly a smooth Dreamwave epic give a slight edge by arpeggiated digital synth bass that slowly builds to a rockin’ crescendo.

Tesla Boy reMix Anoraak

Valerie collective staple Anoraak and Russia’s Tesla Boy are both electronic rumors favourites, so the idea of one reMix the other seems just to good to be true, but here it is!

Anoraak’s ‘Nightdrive With You’ hasn’t left my MP3 player since it was released last year, alone with it’s multitude of reMixes, here Tesla Boy do something a bit different, bringing some funky guitars and more of a classic Disco Funk vibe to the ElectroPop tune.

Compare it to the original, those opening keys still send shivers up my spine!

Circlesquare reMiexd by Valarie squad!

Circlesquare

Valerie crew staples Russ Chimes and Anoraak have got together to gang up on ‘Dancers’, the last single from Canadian electronica solo act Circlesquare.

The mighty reMix team-up takes Circlesquare’s post-punk, experimental, SynthPop by the hand and leads it straight to the dancefloor of an 80’s Disco.

Those Valerie guys just keep knocking them out of the park!
