[Stephen Falken]

One half of The Outrunners AKA Stephen Falken of Valerie Collective just put out a new piece titled "The Deal." Falken takes us on a masterful synth fueled epic in the same way WORSHIP has done before. The piece is much more mellow and tame than Falken's "Shadow of the Wind" which is in more typical Valerie fashion.

I'm really glad someone is embracing this type of sound and giving us something to counterbalance the upbeat chorus heavy disco pop which I've recently started to overload on. I'm not complaining by any means, but let's not forget, variety is the spice life. :)

[valerie party + college - the secret diary mix]

DH favorites Valerie will be putting on their Valerie Party in La Flèche D'Or with label acts College, Anoraak and Maethelvin. As a bonus, The talented Canadian electro group Electric Youth will be performing their first European live show here, so if you are lucky enough to be around, I suggest emailing valeriejetaime@free.fr as the first 20 emailers get put down on the guest list, score!

Electric Youth will be selling their special edition EP exclusively at the the event, so yeah (buy buy buy!).
