Frances newest electro darlings Mintel Rose have recently released their first CD, or EP rather. It’s seven songs of pulsating chords and chugging basslines glazed with the creamiest vocals that only French boys harmonizing can make. The album is appropriately titled ‘The French Machine’ because that is definitely what these boys are; a well greased production outfit. Soak in the goodness.
The EP was released Late May and includes one video clip. For those of your not fortunate to reside in the new electro mecca known as France, you can e-holler at merchandising.futur@gmail.com to get your mitts on this gem.
As we said before ‘Valerie and Minitel Rose are the newest religion.’ Get your sorry asses saved on Minitel Rose’s myspace and bookmark the Valerie bible for more artists, show dates, original tunes and redemption.
Maethelvin has provided a remix for fellow Valerie artist The Outrunners‘ latest EP ‘Cool Feeling’, available on Juno. Valerie is worth your money! We’re still waiting for the Valierie takeover, initiated by our excitement for fellows Minitel Rose and the ‘Official Theme of Valerie (Minitel Rose Remix)’. We’ve put this up before with other Minitel Rose stuff, but it deserves one more go:
Minitel Rose is an electro/dance trio hailing from Paris, France and they are card carrying members of Valerie. Valerie is not a blog, but a collective composed of music artists in the west of France. In other words a label, right? No, in an interview with Valerie act College on kidzbycollete the band says that Valerie is not a label, yet. Mostly due to lack of funds. But maybe one day. Could Valerie be the next huge French label? With artists like Minitel Rose, College, Anoraak, The Outrunners & Maethelvin we believe that may be what the future holds.
Check out these remixes by Minitel Rose, including Valerie’s official theme which I can’t stop listening to. Am I trippin’ or is the sample they used in the theme from Gerry Rafferty’s Baker Street?
The boys also make their own spaced out dancey tunes. I’ve only come across this lowbitrate track, but it will still make you want to cut a rug in your cubicle.
Valerie and Minitel Rose are the newest religion. Go get baptized on Minitel Rose’s myspace and bookmark the Valerie bible for more artists, show dates, original tunes and salvation.
