Posse
A bit of industry news for you this morning. Some Sydney peeps I know cut loose their new business venture over the weekend. It’s called Posse.com (they paid alot of money for that domain) and it’s not a social networking site for ethnic gangs. Posse is a new platform for bands to sell tickets to [...]
New Pégase
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 Raphaël edges noticeably further away from the soft ambience of his earlier work, and towards the more confident, melodic [...]
Pegase Remixes Empire Of The Sun
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 over the surface of the chorus [...]
Anoraak
Our friends at Bandroom Records are grabbing the electro zeitgeist by the balls and running it right across the wide, hot expanse of Australia. The prolific Valerie pin-up boys, Anoraak and College, are doing a tour of One Love club nights across Australia. What does this mean? It means hurry up and buy a Valerie [...]
New Edwin Van Cleef
This is what happens when you take a break from blogging over the holidays and sit on a few tracks for too long. The dear folks at Valerie well and truly beat you to it. And then those tracks spread all over the goddamn place, such as here and then over here. But regardless, here [...]
Anoraak’s Christmas Remix
This Christmas, I think I want a couple of pheasants, please. They could live on my balcony, eat corn and snails and things, and they’d be mine. I suppose this remix was always going to happen (for the obvious reasons) and it is, not surprisingly, terribly sweet. Head over to Valerie’s site for details on [...]
Pegase
Valerie’s latest recruit is France’s Raphaël D’Hervez aka Pegase, the artist whose work has arguably proceeded his name as the vocalist for the wonderful Minitel Rose. On his own he of course has that signature low-key, ethereal Valerie sound, which is perfect material to fall asleep to (a compliment, not a criticism), but it’s his [...]
Russ Chimes and The Outrunners
Two months ago Duncan became so infatuated with Russ Chimes’ forthcoming remix of The Outrunners ‘These Girls Are Dressed To Kill’ that he devoted an entire post to the streaming version on Myspace. Which, in this day and age of downloadable 320kbps purism, is one hell of a commitment to make. But the good and [...]
College in Teenage Color
Okie dokie! Its Sunday night and its late, I’m sitting on the couch with my laptop watching Dexter* but listening to College’s ‘Teenage Color’ symphony that i have been lucky enough to find in our inbox from Valerie! The juxtaposition of these bloody images on this soundtrack is a strange one to say the [...]
Anoraak – Nightdrive With You Mini Album
What an amazing 180-degree flip from the hard-as-nails grimy aesthetic of last year’s electro “banger” to today’s tremendously polished disco aesthetic, which dictates that every synth be scrubbed clean until it glistens so that the vocals – wonderfully chilled from their round-trip gliding through the cosmos – can skim across each one with nary the [...]
Hello again. Again.
So i’m back from far off travels in the land of low taxed beer. Europe is pretty cool. It’s also pretty small and pretty full of mad parties. Thanks to the guys from The Fakes in Prague for helping a brother out in the medieval shopping mall known as Prague. Your town is loose. MASSIVE [...]
Minitel Rose European Tour
French superstars and Valerie stablemates Minite Rose have just announced their “European Machine Tour” to promote their debut e.p., The French Machine which came out a little over a month ago. The tour takes in Switzerland, Germany and Belgium on what is their first foray into a coordinated push across European borders. After wowing massive [...]
Moulinex | Xinobi | D.I.S.C.O. Texas Tour
Moulinex and Xinobi are in the country at the moment on the D.I.S.C.O. Texas tour, taking in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. I was lucky enough to catch up with Luis Moulinex and Bruno Xinobi yesterday to talk about the tour, the label and music in general. They told me a little bit more about the [...]
CUBE, CONCERT BOY
Sitting on 150bpm, this track rides sunsets, exists in all sports car pre 1980, and pretty much allows the user to go back 20-30 years in a time machine. Whilst i imagine the baywatch sunsets and the Porshe’ Carera’s; as the track goes on i find it harder and harder to get some dirty 80′s [...]
