Niagara

Niagara is a French electronic music duo known for their vibrant, retro-inspired synthwave sound blended with modern production flair. Formed in 2012 by David Akermanis and Louise Vertigo, the pair craft pulsing, cinematic tracks that evoke nostalgia for '80s synth scores while injecting fresh energy with infectious grooves and sleek, futuristic textures. Their releases, like *Hyperocean* and *Otto*, showcase their knack for combining hypnotic basslines, shimmering arpeggios, and a playful sense of retro-futurism, often leaning into sci-fi or beachy daydream vibes.

Live, Niagara brings their studio magic to the stage with charismatic performances that balance live instrumentation and electronic beats, touring extensively across Europe and sharing bills with acts like Kavinsky and Perturbator. Tracks like *Don’t Take It Personally* and their remix-heavy projects (*Vanillacola Re-Bottled*, *Curry Re-Boxed*) highlight their versatility, blending dancefloor-ready momentum with a cheeky, laid-back charm. Whether they’re nodding to vintage analog synths or experimenting with glossy modern edits, Niagara keeps their sound rooted in fun, sun-soaked escapism.
