New York, NY (Top40 Charts) 3 years after revamping his beloved Anoraak moniker, Marseilles-based DJ, producer, and musician Frédéric Rivière continues his ongoing affair with disco in new single, "
Karma". The single arrives with the announcement of his forthcoming EP, Karma, which sees him team up once again with French songstress
Sarah Maison. A follow-up to his disco-fueled 4-track Gang EP, Karma is slated for release on June 18th via Anoraak's imprint Endless Summer. "
Karma" is available now across all platforms.
A longtime lover and avid listener of disco and house, Rivière opted to set aside his usual synth tool kit to deliver a mélange of sultry, soulful house in his 2020 EP, 'Gang'. After a two-year hiatus, Rivière returned to the release radar with a new, redefined sound. Gang came as a surprise to staunch Anoraak loyalists and fans, as it saw him swap his familiar synth tool kit for a fresh, new twist on modern disco. The EP also marked the beginning of a new creative partnership between him and French-Moroccan singer/songwriter
Sarah Maison, who took him to uncharted territory with her use of French lyricism.
The collaboration proved to be a successful one, with over 1,000,000 collective streams across all platforms to date. Rivière's groove-fueled instrumentalism and Maison's chic vocals in the titular single landed them a sync placement in the popular TV show "Good Trouble".
Following the release, Rivière and Maison decided it would only be right to continue creating dreamy, disco-infused magic together. "We had a lot of fun doing 'Gang'," Rivière states, "we wanted to offer a sort of sequel." The rest unfolded naturally. "'Karma' was done just as easily. I composed some instrumentals, sent them to [Sarah] and gave her a carte blanche on the lyrics."
The titular lead single - out today - delivers a slice of 70s inspired disco fused with a modern pop/lounge twinge. Borrowing influences from pop, disco, house, and indie, the track is a perfect representation of the Anoraak brand: versatile, creative, and timeless.
