Pégase , side project of Raphaël (the lead singer of Minitel Rose ), have dropped a couple of new demos. As with everything that comes out of the Valerie collective this is quality retro Electro stuff. More upbeat than Pégase's earlier, spaced-out, tunes these two are full-on ElectroPop goodness. 'Wherever You Are' is verging on Electro-Rock. ♫ Pégase - I Try To Be You (Demo.) (zShare) (MediaFire) ♫ Pégase - Wherever You Are (Demo.) (zShare) (MediaFire) [...]
Here is some more ethereal loveliness from France's star-gazing Pégase . These are two of my favourite tracks to come out of the Valerie collective of late, and my favourite Pégase ones so far. With every release he edges noticeably further away from the soft ambience of his earlier work, and towards the more confident, melodic pop-like sound of these two new demos. The wonderfully upbeat "Wherever You Are" has a slight MGMT feel to it (not a criticism), and "I Try To Be You" is so catchy it will haunt your dreams (also [...]
Raphaël, the lead singer of Minitel Rose who along with College are at the spearhead of the Valerie "movement", has sent over the latest two demos of his solo project Pegase. If you are familiar with the stuff that's been coming out of France lately, this might surprise you a bit. "Wherever You Are" is a huge (as in awesome) piece of melodic rock. This is not a song, this is an anthem! Download audio file (Pegase - wherever you are (demo).mp3) Pegase - [...]
Neues und Vielversprechendes aus dem Hause Valerie. Pegase ist das aktuelle Soloprojekt vom Minitel Rose -Drittel Raphael. Erstmals veröffentlicht wurde Ende 2008 und eine breitere Weböffentlichkeit erreichte Pegase im vergangenen Januar/Februar mit seinem Remix von Walking On A Dream (s.u.). Der junge Mann aus Nantes entfernt auf Solopfaden seine Synthies ein Stück weit von den 80ern, singt mit französisch-nasalem Accent und bedient sich (zumindest in der Demoversion) teils druckvoll verzerrter, teils träumerisch ruhiger Pop-Melodien. Pegase - I Try To Be You (demo) [...]
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 [...]
(image via risingtensions ) I'm pretty sure Merriweather Post Pavilion will be in a lot of peoples top albums for 092. Continuing the trend of rapping over samples from the latest hip(ster) band for internet fame we have 607 's take on Taste. Animal Collective ft. 607 - Taste (Remix) Phoenix 's latest, "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix", is a pretty damn stellar pop album. It's set for release, May 25th. This is a tight new wave/disco/pet shop boys-ish reworking of 1901 from Mother Father [...]
Tesla Boy is a new Russian collective creating a sound that can only be classified by the term dreamwave. It's a catchy pop melody essentially, quite simple but effective, i can imagine it getting air time on radios if they have any sense. You know when your walking along listening to your tunes and you just find yourself in another world nodding away madly, and then you bump into the lampost,
sunday music. day after music. train sitting music. break-up music. reading music. studying music. comedown-core: the worst, most subjective non-genre since forever. sure most of this music could and probably is filed under 'chillout' or something similar but i feel like these specific tracks seem to actually understand what im going through and are there to help me at my time of need. the first and most obvious comedown-core artist would have to be m83 . anything by m83. oh my god m83 m83 - Car Chase Terror [...]
I've managed to be relatively productive yesterday and today so far, so I'm deciding (foolishly) to put up some music I've had kicking around my inbox for a while, despite the fact that I should be working on papers and all that jazz. One of the few good things I know of to come out of New Jersey (the others being my roommate and a few friends), Thing-One crank out fun, dancey rock, with really catchy and creative, if at times bizarre, lyrics. A couple of their songs have been in heavy rotation for me lately. [...]
Pegase , the newest & youngest french member of Valerie Collective introduced himself to us. Pegase pitched some kind of tuff sensitive powerpop and makes listeners definitely hungry for more. You already dig Anoraak and College?! But cry a river everyday cuz they're so busy touring?! Then youngster Pegase should be somebody to keep your eyes wide open for! Pegase got potential and a deal next to a rocket in his pocket. This guy is popping dreamily in your bedroom, like me. Mp3: Pegase - Dream Awake [...]
Pegase They just keep coming and coming. Empire Of The Sun remixes that is. This one comes courtesy of Pegase from France. Also known as Raphael D 'Hervez the beautifully ethereal, dreamy and melancholic vocalist for Valerie's Minitel Rose. I want the master versions of these originals so bad that I am willing to do anything. Let it be known. DL : Pegase - Dream Awake (demo) . DL [...]
The delightful Raphael D'Hervez, better know as Valerie's Pegase , has kindly decided to share with us his first ever remix, taking on Empire of the Sun's "Walking on a Dream," presumably for all of its bright-eyed whimsy and laidback flair. The result is characteristically pretty, D'Hervez's synthwork simultaneously skipping playfully over the surface of the chorus whilst creating new melodies from beneath the vocal line. He's also just completed a new demo, "Dream Awake," which is my favourite original track of his so far. Featuring his Minitel Rose -lent vocals, it's as close [...]
Can't believe I've neglected posting this gorgeous Pegase stuff 'til now. As you'd expect from the latest member of the Valerie clique, it's exceptionally dreamy, synthesizer-drenched stuff. Pegase actually moonlights in Minitel Rose, and this band background is something which serves his tunes well, and differentiates them from the others.Pegase - Dream Awake (Demo)Pegase - Without Reasons (Demo

...then you might like Pegase . This artist from the Valerie Collective is a side project by Raphael, the lead singer of Minitel Rose. It might take a few more remixes before the appropriate attention is given, but he's certainly someone to keep an eye on. Pegase - Spellbound Girl [alt link] Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream (Pegase Remix) [alt link]
Pegase 's innocent synth pop amazed me a while ago when he shared a demo Without Reasons . I simply can't get enough of that new breed of French artists making that kind of spacey disco with plenty of melancholy and emotion thrown in there. Pegase was nice enough to send over a couple of new tracks that, tracks that may very well be his best ones yet! Where Without Reasons was a bit naive and introvert, Dream Awake sounds like a song that could easily break Pegase to a wider [...]
Artwork by Robert Jaso This past weekend I watched Darjeeling Limited again. Twice. I'm not sure if you share the same enthusiasm for Wes Anderson flicks, but here are some random clips that I have found across youtube that I thought I would share with you. Check out this ridiculously sick SPA track remixed by Les Petits Pilous off of the Pets Dance EP that SPA is soon to release on DimMak . Look [...]
[Image: The Cobrasnake ] So, I'm heading over to Le Poisson Rouge tomorrow night to check out The Golden Filter , Heartsrevolution , Pink Skull , and Finger on the Pulse . The event is being hosted by Friction NYC and should be a great night for New York City disco. Do you know what you're doing this weekend? ***Week in Review*** This has been a busy week for bloggers, with [...]
