Rhum For Pauline са новата банда от лейбъла Futur , в който също така са любими имена като Minitel Rose и College . Не е най-силното начало, което момчетата от Нант, Франция, можеха да направят, но пък и не е за изхвърляне!

With the cold spell and the rain coming back to our shores, now seems a perfect time to showcase a few of the artists that showcase the other, slower, deeper and darker side of electronic music. Pegase starts of the mix with a track that has soundtracked some of my more personal and introspective moments over the last few months after Bec over at Electrorash picked him up. Slow epic and atmospheric electronic movements demonstrating his skill makes Pegase one of the most [...]

There's something interesting about artists and bands who pick names that are so generic. It's like they want to sort of fly under the radar with a name you won't remember when you want to Google them at 3 in the morning... and then suddenly everyone's talking about them and no one can remember what they're called. "Oh yeah! Men . Rrrright." This remix by Pegase uses a lot of subtle elements from different genres and it's nicely put together. It's your Friday song... now shake your hair, volume [...]
MEN is a sorta le tigre/peaches real life mash-up that are tearing up deutschland and das USA these days. They've already been pushed around the bl'g'sphere and this should only escalate in the coming months. Tight indie-electro-ish sound with 'crossover appeal'. Brooklyn today, let's see what happens tomorrow. On the back of that, Stephan from I'm Not a Band hit us up with some tracks lately including this take of Off Our Backs , which we like. Minitel Rose/ Pegase /Raphael has also whipped up an [...]

We have a brand new No More Strangers mix just in time for our 1 year birthday celebration this Saturday. Hope to see you there! xox ps, we are going weekly! No More Strangers Vol. 3 - Mixed by Hunk The Drunk tracklisting Leonard Cohen - Stranger Song Pegase - Without Reason [...]

Bastard Phonographic-people took down one of my posts again, even after I asked them to just email me. So, for the record I posted about French disco-boy Pegase before, well, the world wakes up to his MGMT-fucking-Arcade Fire brilliance. Or whatever it was I slapped it with. In other news, I love this t-shirt. I need this t-shirt. I was gonna buy this t-shirt but had no money only now I have money and they've sold out. I then travelled over to Rough Trade East for the first ever time to buy this t-shirt because it says on [...]

I've been following Pegase for some time now, and it's always a joy to receive new tracks from him. I love how the progression is always clear and often for the better. This is also the case today. I can easily say that these tracks are my favourite Pegase tracks to date. I can't quite put my finger on what's so special about his tracks, they just seem to have that extra twist of heartbreak and honesty. Those really seem to be the keywords with the Valerie crew, but I'm not going to complain. If the tracks keep on being [...]

If you're wondering where my 'Guilty Pleasures' post from the other day (featuring Tinchy Stryder featuring N-Dubz) has gone, it's been taken down by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. This is very annoying. So, if any Digital Millennium Copyright Act-type-people are reading this, if you deem it necessary to take down of my posts in the future please just email me at the address over there on the right rather than just automatically take it down. That's just rude! Still, I persevere. I was listening to Jon Hillcock's fabulous New Noise (there's a link inserted there, [...]

There are 3 things that are a given in life, death, paying taxes, and France pumping out some of the best electronic music at a mind numbing pace. It seems like every day there is a new French genius producer dropping a sick track. Segue complete, France's Pégase gives us two new spacey tracks. As if Valerie Collective wasn't already hogging all the good acts, add Pégase to their lopsided roster. "Wherever You Are" has been compared to MGMT a bit, yes, yes I sorta hear it (No hatin, it's a compliment). "I Try [...]

Nick Littlemore of PNAU ( with Peter Mayes ) , Empire Of The Sun (With Sleepy Jackson member Luke Steele ) & Teengaer (with Ladyhawke ) is now adding another collaboration to his belt. Featuring on 6 of the [...]

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,
