I already started a thread on Anoraak but the whole label deserves a thread. The remix of Circlesquare's "Dancers" (Anoraak vs Russ Chimes mix) is really kicking my ass right now.

French: check. Synthpop: check. Baaderonixx repping for it: check. I'm probably going to like this, no?

Calling Valerie "new" is a bit misleading. They've been at the center of the synthpop revival blog circle for three years.

Ah, well: forgive me for not noticing, then :)

Yeah, I realize that sounds stupid when said (or typed) aloud, but they really have been kind of a big deal for a while now.
Anyway, the more people that know about 'em, the better.

yeah not that new really but I've never seen them mentioned here. Anyway, good time to mention them since they have a comp/sampler out 'Valerie and Friends'

their blog/website has some nice stuff too. Liking that electro cover of C. Cross 'Sailing' that's posted on there.

The two Anoraak things I've heard are the fuckin tits

ie Night Driving With You and their remix of Mad Pursuit by Junkie XL
Anoraak's only got an EP out, 'Nightdriving with you' and it's definitely worth seeking out.

yeah the comp is a bit or miss but the Anoraak track and the one by College stand out for the moment.
