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 <3 Minitel Rose- CONTINUE (Maethelvin [...]
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 [...]
I just uploaded Like Sugar PopCast 23 to Mevio . >> Direct link to file is here << You can expect the usual mix of modern rock with a mix of electronic tracks. I think the episode really works well in that the mood shifts are subtle. Lyrics play an important character in my Like Sugar series and this mix showcases some strong words underneath all the noise. Seems I always include a cover and some 80's to boot. See if you can spot the cover! Not to mention the "mash up" intro I created, [...]

DH favorites Valerie will be putting on their Valerie Party in La Flèche D'Or with label acts College , Anoraak and Maethelvin . As a bonus, The talented Canadian electro group Electric Youth will be performing their first European live show here, so if you are lucky enough to be around, I suggest emailing valeriejetaime@free.fr as the first 20 emailers get put down on the guest list, score! Electric Youth will be selling their special edition EP exclusively at the the event, so yeah [...]
You know I'm a huge fan of what Valerie does, gathering all great acts under one roof and putting them out there for us to enjoy. But I rarely post anything they hand out for free on their blog, and I figured everyone reading this blog don't necessarily know what Valerie is and what they do. Valerie is a blog, recordcompany and promoter (If that's the correct word for it), anyway.. I realize by posting this I look really silly in lot of peoples eyes "like duh, Valerie , like we don't know [...]
when people hear valerie , they tend to think of college and anoraak right away, followed by russ chimes , the outrunners and of course minitel rose . but hardly anyone remembers maethelvin , although he dropped a whole lot of based tunes last year. tonight we're going to change this. after laying low for a while, maethelvin returns with an all-new track, definitely my favorite work from him. he abandoned his trademark kavinsky -esque fm synthesizer sound and hits us with a dreamy french [...]
2008 has been a year where my heart returned to the 80's romantic vibe that cleared dance floors and left lovers lip-locked throughout the decade. Almost every track on this list is flooded with analog synths, Outfield-esque male vocal ballads, and lots of sexy arpeggiators! Bag Raiders – Shooting Stars (MP3) Bag Raiders were HUGE on my '08 hype list and I was INSANELY disappointed upon only seeing two tracks on their EP. Fortunately, the B-side made up for [...]
I've been struck by the gods of musical fate yet again! I was recently sent the myspace page of France's Valerie for inspiration for a design project. I honestly feel kind of stupid not having heard of them eons ago. I guess it just goes to show how little time I have for reading other blogs. After perusing Valerie's myspace, I noticed their artwork is by The Zonders , the same designers used by our friends over at DiscoDust . It's a small (blog)world afterall. Valerie is a collective composed of several groups, [...]
This may be the catchiest, most enjoyable collection of music that's ever appeared here on Video Pop. That's saying a lot. Manzur and Peter (aka Futurecop! ) sent me another fantastic mixtape, and this one is absolutely jam-packed with moments of pop bliss! They've incorporated some of the highest quality baltimore club and nu-disco/electro pop in this one, as well as some Futurecop! originals ("Eyes Like the Ocean" and "Space Thieves.") All around solid stuff. At only 26 minutes, Euromixtape October 2008 is also very concise. [...]
Para empezar, Maethelvin es parte del colectivo Valerie . Te dicen eso y tienes el 99% claro que te va a gustar. El tipo empezó a formar Valerie junto a College y The Outrunners , y luego se unieron Anoraak , Russ Chimes (el único no francés de Valerie) y Minitel Rose . Luego se unieron gente como Futurecop! , Aedyhawke y demás futuredisqueros. Realmente sobra describir su música, porque todo el que conozca lo que se cuece en el colectivo francés, sabe qué va a encontrarse! [...]
