Received this sexy little mix from London art rocker sweeties George and Fenner from Lesser Panda, who we featured - gosh, was it only back in Janurary? - to celebrate their new release, single “Carousel/Ghostdance” which debuts on 13th October 2008 !

If you get gooey and nostalgic over the great tunes from the 80s like the Cure, Talking Heads, Smiths and Psychadelic Furs, you’ll LOVE Lesser Panda - and you can catch a sneak of “Carousel” on this mix, which has also been featured on fellow music blog Fried my little brain - nice one.

Enjoy!

ps - is vanilla a euphemism for something or am i just being thick? yes, probably.

Hailing from the West coast of France and part of the Valerie Collective, Anoraak’s sound is best described as dreamy 80’s, synth-inspired, disco pop. Along with creating intense textured beats, Anoraak also adds his superb vocals to such tracks as “Nightdrive With You“. I’ve posted this ace remix by Grum earlier today, so be sure to grab it here. Have a listen as Anoraak bestows his talents upon No Love Lost Records for the 60th in the ongoing mix tape project series! Enjoy!!

“Question, how much glowing synth and filtered Disco House can you cram into sixty minutes? I have absolutely no idea, but I know a man in Nantes, France who does, nom de guerre, ANORAAK. The most well-known member of neon art collective VALERIE, ANORAAK makes the most authentic 80s rhythms this side of 1987. Finding inspiration in videogames, film scores, Prog Rock, toys and TV shows of the era, ANORAAK creates rich dance music that borrows heavily from yesteryear, yet succeeds in creating something entirely fresh. Bookended perfectly with classic “Ready Let’s Go” by atmospheric beat pioneers BOARDS OF CANADA, ANORAAK’S mix includes a handful of fine exclusives including GRUM’S remix of ANORAAK original “Nightdrive With You.” Also in the mix, tunes by a legion of likeminded artists, PARALELLS, THE OUTRUNNERS, MINTEL ROSE, COLLEGE, FUTURECOP!, ADAYHAWKE, PONYPONYRUNRUN, CUT COPY to name a few. If you enjoy the refreshing sound that ANORAAK and company are purveying in this mix, you would do well to check out the bilingual VALERIE blog where you can learn more about their roster of artists and get your hands on a lot more of the music they like.” – Lee, NLLR
