Friday: After an other week full of boring school work filled with way to much pages to read and oh so many group tasks the best day of the week is here. This time I have been longing. I need the rest, I need time on my own and i definitely need to do something that I like. I have no patience what so ever in other subjects at the moment. I gotta change - Thank God it's Friday! When I heard this the first time I thought It was a bit weaker than his [...]

How could this go wrong? Another reason why Valerie is the best thing happening in France/the world. DJ DLG & Redroche - On The Run (The Outrunners Remix) Yay! For direct links at last!

So you've all probably heard about Valerie by now. A collective composed of music artists in the westcoast of France, consisting of Anoraak , Minitel Rose , Russ Chimes , College , Maethelvin , The Outrunners and Futurecop . It's still a small label, but damn boy, with their super cool futuristic and iconic '80s TV and movie themes sound and their stunning designs, i really believe that Valerie can be the next huge French label. Most of their music is available at Itunes store, so click and buy. [...]

The Outrunners and Maethelvin are both from France, and united with Valerie Records in the vision of a new sound and a synthetic universe. Their world is narrowed down to a "dark Miami" type of stuff, which is full of discoballs, cops with sunglasses (at night), heavy spaceships landing on piers and drugs that teach you the language of the stars. Valerie Records is producing some really good music. You should definitely check out ALL of the artist on the label. (The Outrunners, College, Anoraak, Minitel Rose, [...]

Following up that Minitel Rose post, the french to uch has certainly laid its smooth, creamy caress down on me. I put on my headphones and danced the night away; and like a true junkie when it was all over - i needed more. In my desperate search i stumbled upon the Outrunners. They came to me in a hype machine post that stepped directly out of a time capsule from the 1980s, its retro-synths perfectly preserved, oscillators in perfect tune. Also - remixed by Maethelvin AND Minitel Rose . If [...]

We Kunkers certainly think so. But seriously, before you chastise us for YET ANOTHER post on our faves from Nantes, we plead forgiveness as in just two nights (Thursday), homeboy is here spinning at Corvinteto with ourselves and TCC party mates. In case somehow you have yet to get the flavor of the sound that has had us unnervingly hooked since last year, below is a fairly comprehensive wrap-up of Anoraak remixes and originals. Pick them up below but first have a perusal of the snazzy flyer... the venue will have the Euro 2008 match on the big [...]

Hmm , what is there to talk about tonight? Well, let's talk about trying to figure out things to talk about! As evidence suggests you could see I'm at a stalemate with my creative side right now. Ways of any, have you ever found yourself in the most odd situations where you're desperately looking for a topic to bring up with another person? Be it on a date, meeting your girlfriends parents, with new co-workers, your barber, or even yourself in the mirror (opened bracket, " hahaha ," closed bracket). I've found myself in such peculiar situations. When [...]

You know when you're listening to a tune for the first time and it hits you so hard...everything seems so damn good, you just smile and smile for the whole four minutes and you think, wow, this is seriously the best thing I've ever heard. I want to say that about this new Outrunners remix. It feels like the greatest song ever whenever I put in the headphones. Plush, romantic synths rush all over this in a haze of French-touch loveliness. It's absolutely amazing. I know it's not the best song in the world, of course I do. [...]
Cigi, merci bien on the guitar sounds. You are totally right in that we need more of that going on. Which makes me apologize even harder for going back to synth. And French synth! But alas, mon dieu - I'm seeing your guitar and raising you one with the next post, promise. But back to the French synth, this time with The Outrunners . These dudes are a part of the Valerie crew that we can't get enough of these days. The "don't accuse me of not accurately describing the feeling [...]
Artwork by Buckaroo Kid And here is a ridiculously nasty remix of The Kills' "Cheap and Cheerful" courtesy of non other than Nite Cells. Holy hell this one will stomp the life out of you. I guess the feedback from their previous Kills remix, "URA Fever," was fair enough to demand another. Well that's alright with [...]

Since this post was one of the more popular posts in Hype-History I decided to resucitate it and streeeeetch it out a bit further. Call it savagely beating a dead horse or what you will, but I call it a slap-dash attempt at part deux. 2007's Best Remixes Pt. 2 (16-25) 25. Cobra Dukes - Airtight (Aeroplane Remix) This one was an absolute stunner, for sure. While their Das Pop remix was unfortunately overshadowed by the others on that single (SebastiAn, Brodinski, [...]

A Noël c'est dur de voir que votre petit frère a le droit d'ouvrir ses cadeaux avant tout le monde ! Pendant que vous dégustez la dinde de noël ce dernier est déjà en dessous du sapin à s'amuser avec votre cadeau : Les figurines authentiques des Chevaliers du Zodiaque (achetées sur E-bay ) ! et ça.. ça fait super mal. Surtout quand il va aller flamber à l'école, complètement Pimpé par vos soins avec vos vielles Pump et votre t-shirt Jordan. Le roi de la flambe dans les cours de recré. Ne [...]

I've been backtracking through the year that was 2007 now that we're getting close to its finale and have been thinking more and more about all the good music I've had the joy of listening to this year. There'll be lists galore in the coming week where I get my nerd on and try and squeeze 12 months of music into some Top Tens , but before we do that I'll be spending some time reminiscing about some of the artists and tunes that I liked the most during the year. First up is one of my favourite discoveries [...]

Valerie = one of my favourite blogs to 'rip off' for new music. Go there to download a free EP by The Outrunners: "THE COOL FEELING EP." It's a song that really took me to a higher level of elecro-existence, or something along those lines. COOL FEELING is a pretty appropriate title. The remix below is also another chance to hear more ANORAAK. [MP3] The Outrunners Cool Feeling (Anoraak Remix) Go To the Valerie Blog to DL the rest of the free EP. The [...]

With the star of French electro continuing to rise, anything French seems to be getting fervent attention by any blogger who dug Waters Of Nazareth . But amongst all of the superstars of the scene (the Mehdi's, the SebastiAn's and the Justice's) a bunch of bands are making major waves and are just as worthy of your devotion. I'm speaking of course of the bands involved in the Valérie scene, Maethelvin , Anoraak, College and my pick of the bunch, the Outrunners . The band have been mesmerising me for [...]
