valerie creator David Grellier aka College and the valerie collective, released their debut album Secret Diary on Futur the 26th of november. We congratulate them and wish them all the luck. College and valerie along with futur are doing good to this world by bringing the 80’s back! We thank you.

Fresh from College and valerie comes two beautiful remixes from Moulinex and Nicholas Kraich. I’m in love with both of them. This kind of music brings out the right feelings! Nicholas, who I never heard of before seems to be a promising producer from the US, going under the name Are You Afraid Of The Dark. Keep your eyes open for this guy! Download the remixes here,

College Feat. Anoraak - Fantasy Park (Moulinex remix)

College Feat. Minitel Rose - The Energy Story (Nicholas Kraich instrumental remix)

then visit College myspace and buy the album, support the FUTUR of electronic music!

not often do I get addicted to female-based synth-pop, I usually think the singing spoils everything. Not this time though. Elly Jackson aka La Roux, London-based singer-songwriter makes me dig.
Fascination is one of those addictive fashion-synth-pop songs that just makes you singalong. Don’t know how many times I’ve listened to it in the last couple of days. You really have to check it out if you have’nt.

La Roux - Fascination
La Roux - Reflections are protection

Elly’s releasing her first single Quicksand on french label Kitsune december 15th, you can pre-order it through roughtrade! I’ m sure we’ll see more from Elly in future, and I hope we’ll get a full album soon. Make sure you visit her myspace and show her the love she deserves.

just had to put a post up about this guy. This is some dark stuff, I’d say it’s pure deathelectro. Fitting I write about him then. I mean just look at his picture, what’s he doing in the forest, pouring champagne in plastic cups with clothes drying on a tree in the background. What’s he doing, man? Whos that girl? Are they having a picnic with cigarettes and champagne? I like it. Epic picture.

Ashley aka Cedric Octor, from France, started out making music under the name Ashley in 2005. He’s now getting the track Like a Drug Dropped On Your Lips released on the compilation Machine Gum Vol.1 at Kaugummi.
No need to say more, visit his myspace and find out more about this guy. Listen to his tracks, experience some deathelectro.

Today I’m very happy I can tell you, cause today something happened that I didn’t believe wouldn’t happen in a couple of weeks; We are being recognized by the artists themselves!
Anyway, the mail we got was from the duo Hundreds & Thousands hailing all the way from Australia and I quote;

Hello we are hundreds and thousands from Melbourne Australia
www.myspace.com/hundredsplusthousands
and this is our take on Cut Copy’s track Far Away
Feel free to post, should you dig! :)

And yes, I do dig this track, so here you go all readers of this blog!

Cut Copy - Far Away (Hundreds & Thousands Remix)

Don’t forget to visit Hundreds & Thousands and Cut Copy on myspace!
That’s all I got at the moment, so I’m gonna go celebrate a little more over this with one extra cup of coffee before I finish the last edits for my Dj-set @ Dreamhack!

I love it when you discover music so good you just want more and more. The thing is I just discovered these producers from France like a week ago, on myspace. I fell in love with the track Brother Treat You Right. They had’nt released an album, and I wanted more songs. Luckily for me, now that I check their myspace one week later, they’ve realesed their Early Works album, to download for free!

The album contains lots of remixes and covers (and even a tribute to Isabella Rossellini); picture. These guys know how to make heavy danceable electrobeats mixed with beautiful soundscapes. Download these songs, if you like them, head over to Pillage myspace and get the full album. Show them some love and let’s hope we’ll see more from Pillage in the future!

Pillage - Brother treat You Right
Pillage - Girlhouse
Pillage - Dorothy (Tribute to Isabella Rossellini)

Salute!

Now here is a man who knows how to have a godlike-beard and can at the same time produce some really heavy beats that blows one away! Huoratron mixes heavy beats with Atari-like leads, and if you add some distortion & noise, you have him in a nutshell.
Earlier this year he released his EP $$ Troopers on New Judas which still gets me going everytime I put it on. You can find it on Beatport if you wish to support him. To get you convinced to do it, I embedded the video for the track $$ Troopers. Enjoy!

The video can also be downloaded in high quality here!

I know it’s a bit old to post this now, the main reason I’m doing it is that hes gonna perform tomorrow(Friday the 21 Nov) in Gothenburg along with many others on Elektrons 10 year Anniversary Party.
The lineup for tomorrow is as following;
Neil Landstrumm(UK)
Huoratron(FI)
Andreas Tilliander(SE)
Hird(SE)
Fontän(SE)

I advice you not too miss this out, since it’s kinda rare to see so many good electronic artist at the same night for the cheap price of 100SEK. See their homepage for more details and how to get your ticket.
Anyway, that’s enough for me. I hope that you find this tip good and if you are in the area of Gothenburg tomorrow that you don’t miss this event!

Once again, my heart have been swept away by a French producer!
Laurent Ash aka Lifelike tunes remind a lot of the typical Valerie-sounds, but in a way not. It’s a little bit heavier(but just a “little” bit heavier, let’s not exaggurate here) and more dance friendly. I guess he could be compared to producers like Fred Falke and alike.

Anyway, I advise you to check him out, it only takes 5-10 minutes of your time tops. But something tells me that his tunes are gonna steal more time than that since he’s so damn good!

Lifelike - Adventure (Original Mix)

Demon - Happy Therapy (Lifelike Remix)

And remember; if you like his music, support him and buy his tracks @ Beatport for example!

The new album from capsule is here. More! More! More! is not what I thought it would be. I’m of course comparing it to FLASHBACK that was released almost a year ago. That album had some really heavy electro/dance tunes, which they rounded up with some beautiful electronic popsongs. More! More! More! is a step towards the j-pop genre. There are some songs I really like though, Jumper, Phantom and the time is now. Jumper especially, it’s a solid production from beginning to end. I had hope that the album would have that sound.

Capsule - Jumper
Capsule - Phantom

More! More! More! is a good album, although it’s no FLASHBACK.
Right now I’m satisfied with Jumper. It’s one of the best songs this year. Thank you!
Head over to capsule’s myspace and give ´em some love!
Buy the album here!

ps. the logo is finished, a big thank you to Robert who put this killerlogo together!
