The multitalent in the Valerie family is called Anoraak. He writes these catchy pop songs, fills them with retro beats and finish them up with his own voice. All his songs have the 80s touch that's hard to resist.
The Fast Life described him as:
"A storyteller.
A composer.
An A++."
Very accurate indeed. I'm giving you two of his stories for now. They are the ultimate nightdrive songs, and I'm not referring to the first title, but the perfect mood for a drive by night.
Anoorak - Nightdrive With You
(electronica/pop, 2008)
Anoraak - NERD (Never Ending Romance Disaster)
(electronica/pop, 2008)
Anoraak recently joined the fabulous No Love Lost Records wagon and he certainly got the wheels rolling. No offence to the other DJs, but his NLLR mix is one of the best yet. Loving the tracklist. Actually he had me at Boards Of Canada...
