College

College is the musical project of French electronic artist David Grellier, founded in 2005. Grellier's sound embodies a nostalgic nod to the 1980s, with heavy synth-led compositions that resonate with the era's cinematic and musical landscapes. His work gained widespread recognition with the track "A Real Hero," which was notably featured in the soundtrack of the critically acclaimed film "Drive" in 2011, a collaboration with Electric Youth that became emblematic of the film's aesthetic.

The project's discography is marked by a series of thematic and exploratory albums that delve into the fusion of retro sensibilities with contemporary electronic music. College's debut album, "Secret Diary" (2008), along with its subsequent remixes, laid the groundwork for Grellier's distinctive style—a balance of melodic synth lines and moody atmospherics. Over the years, releases like "Northern Council" (2011) and "Heritage" (2013) have continued to build on this foundation, offering listeners a rich tapestry of sounds that are both evocative of the past and grounded in modern electronica. With works like "Shanghai" and "Old Tapes," College continues to produce music that appeals to aficionados of the synthwave genre, all the while reaching new audiences with each emotionally charged release.
