Anoraak is the moniker of French musician Frédéric Rivière, who has made a name for himself in the vibrant landscape of electronic and synth-pop music. Emerging from the coastal city of Nantes, Anoraak first gained attention in the late 2000s as part of the Valerie Collective—a group of artists known for forging a nostalgic, 80s-influenced sound that marries synth-driven aesthetics with modern production techniques. Anoraak's music is characterized by its dreamy and melodic beats, often invoking the carefree sentiments of night-time escapades and romantic introspection.

Over the past decade, Anoraak has continued to evolve and refine his sound, releasing a steady stream of singles, EPs, and albums that showcase his penchant for catchy hooks and lush synth landscapes. From early hits like "Nightdrive With You" to more recent releases such as "FRANCO" and "Own The Night," his work maintains a delicate balance between mellow grooves and dancefloor energy. Tracks like "Fly" and its subsequent remixes, including the "You Man Remix" and "UN*DEUX Acid Guru Mix," exemplify Anoraak's ability to collaborate and reinvent his music, ensuring it resonates with both new audiences and longtime fans. With an ear for the atmospheric and a touch for the nostalgic, Anoraak continues to contribute to the contemporary electronic scene while remaining true to his retro-futuristic roots.
