![[MP3] Maethelvin’s ‘As We Were’](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4857445_lg.jpg)
One of the original pioneers of the Dreamwave and SynthWave sound, French producer Maethelvin has suddenly jumped back onto our radar with a brand new track. The old school Valerie member has returned out of nowhere with As We Were , a track that takes us back to the heydays of the Valerie/Dreamwave scene. Lush space age synths wash this track. As We Were is a glorious slick of electronic nostalgia. With a subtly funky bassline to underpin proceedings, As We Were treats you to classy chords and pin [...]
If you're following us for quite some time now, probably you're expecting a sentimental post for the single I bring you today.... and yes, you're totally right. Maethelvin is one of those producers that educated my ears a couple years ago, and it's truly an honor to share his music. He's a reference to me, and for a lot more people worldwide. I'm not sure if the community has been decreasing or growing, but around 2008 more or less, the French producer was one of the most acclaimed artists of the moment. Maethelvin is part of a generation of retro [...]

As a bonus, you can grab Maethelvin's remix of "Hide", featuring Miss Kittin, for free below. Enjoy! Directed by Meeto Worre Kronborg Grevsen. Download [...]
Digging the new single from synthy house nestor Kris Menace called "Hide", taken from his new album "Features". It's got Miss Kittin on vocals and a very nice video which makes you think of both A-ha's classic "Take on Me" and the psychedelic X-mix series that ran on MTV's Party Zone in the mid-90's. The remixes come from Undo , Nhar , Alexander Maier , Pwndtiac and Maethelvin . Nice ones, and even nicer that the Maethelvin is a freebie!
![[MP3] Maethelvin reMixes Kris Menace & Miss Kittin](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4626956_lg.jpg)
So, we dropped Kris Menace ’s new single, Hide , featuring the voice of ElectroClash, Miss Kittin , a couple of weeks ago. The single is out now and the surprise track of the reMix package is the return of Valerie mainstay Maethelvin . It’s been a long long time since we heard from this guy. He dumped a few new/old track on his soundcloud early in 2012 but hasn’t released anything since 2009. The remix kinda’ makes us miss the pure Valerie sound. SynthWave/Outrun has moved on a little since those [...]
' Hide ' (featuring Miss Kittin on vocals) is the first single to be released from Kris Menace 's ' Features ' album. An album which is made up of, well, uh, featurings. I'm sure you already worked that out and you really didn't need us to say that. ' Hide ' (ボーカルにMiss Kittin をフィーチャー) は Kris Menace の Miss Kittin がボーカルとしてフィ ーチャーしているファ ーストシングルが収録 されているアルバム、 ' Features ' からのファーストシン グルです。わざとやや こしく書きましたが、 単なる遊び心です。 It's a track that sounds, quite reassuringly, like a Kris Menace track. We don't say this that often, because everybody says it these days, ' it's really [...]

Grande, muy grande Kris Menace , uno de los productores más brillantes de la escena actual, este alemán gran conocedor de los sintetizadores y de la música, que este año publicaba uno de los mejores discos de este año, su maravilloso 'Electric Horizon' en el mes de abril, y ahora ya tiene nuevo disco en la calle, como es habitual en su propio sello Compuphonic , 12 nuevos temas, con la novedad de que todo son temas con vocales, grandes artistas invitados a cantar los temas, y junto al lanzamiento [...]
Substantially as entertaining as watching a baby elephant running through a local car park, there is no worry of any of these vintage classics being rained down upon with random scheduled bath time showers. But precipitated instead, with cooler strides & smaller feet. We salute the vision bearers known as Futurecop!, Maethelvin, Fear Of Tigers, College, Russ Chimes and Flairs for all AND everything that they have sown and imparted. Exemplary electronica from all six project-makers, topped off by zero no-flaws. RUSS CHIMES – She’s Got The Heat [...]

On repeat mode..... has been played this cover Silenx did for the epic "Delight" from Maethelvin . Today is one of those days i need to stop a little and listen what makes me write about music. This super cover is exactly what makes me keep on... i love the way Joel retouched and refreshed this track. Can you feel it?

Ca fait un certain temps déjà que cette petite pépite dort dans mon dossier Top Secret et que j'attend le feu vert pour vous en mettre plein les oreilles. Bon, on s'entend, nul besoin de vous rappeler ce qu'est le collectif Valérie (vous le connaissez par coeur), encore moins qui sont les Flashworx , que vous [...]
Yesterday stellar yachtfunk-collective Valerie from France proudly announced the free download of the exclusive first track from the new 73 Maethelvin & Stephen Falken split limited (500 copies) vinyl The Last Escape/Cruising , produced by Valerie themselves and Freedanger. "If one track must represent the spirit of Valerie, it's Cruising." (College - Oct. 2009) Definitely the best soundtrack for chasing cars and watching tv shows from the 80s on mute. If you fancy you have to hug, holla @, kiss, yell, bow before, support Valeries and their production by [...]
What's Valerie, you ask. Valerie is a music blog that has evolved onto a label, whose artists are some of the main revivalists of the 80's sound. The Valerie Collective, as they call themselves, is consisted by College, Anoraak, Minitel Rose, Russ Chimes, The Outrunners and Maethelvin. A couple of months ago, they released a compilation album called Valerie and Friends. This features new tracks from the Valerie guys and also people like SymbolOne, Moulinex, DVAS, etc... I took a long time to decide what was my top 3, but now i know. Funnily enough, 2 of the [...]

MINITEL ROSE 's EP "Continue" is out, and along with it, a remix of the said song by VALERIE collective member MAETHELVIN . It's melodic, and typical Valerie style with overall prettiness and little tip of the hat to the 80s. The Minitel Rose boys perform mainly in France, but earlier this year the Valerie crew initiated their intercontinental raid with North American appearances by ANORAAK and COLLEGE . Valerie je t'aime

It's no secret that I love the 80s. You kind of have to if you enjoy electronic music. However, where as 4 years ago I was wearing my wearing my pastel colored Pumps and walking to class listening to "You Spin Me Round", I now feel nostalgic for 90s songs like "It Takes Two" and "Whoomp! There It Is". It's a fundamental shift. Well that was a horrible introduction because these are actually 80s inspired tunes that I love right now. These tunes are all legit and deserve their own post, but instead of dragging this on over [...]
The Valerie Collective has assembled a compilation of tracks by members and friends that will be released by Bandroom and ESR on May 29. The collection sees the collective strengthening their catalogue with new originals from members ( Anoraak , College , Maethelvin , Minitel Rose , Russ Chimes , The Outrunners ) and friends alike. Check here for more information including a tracklist and previews. The Outrunners :: Cool Feeling (Maethelvin Remix)
Big big big. The first Valerie compilation is upon us! And I'm super excited to say the least. It's Valerie And Friends out at the end of the month on Bandroom Records and ESR. The comp doesn't just rehash old Valerie gold, it's sorted with new tracks from your fave Valerie kids like Anoraak, Russ Chimes and The Outrunners, so score for that. The package is rounded out with some choice cuts from their best pals like Jupiter, Electric Youth and Loose Shus. So so good to have a definitive Valerie release. Look out for it [...]
