1 - College is the new cosmopolitan nu-disco outfit of David Grellier. His album features works with Minitel Rose, Electric Youth, and Anoraak and he is also founder of the record label Valerie. College, in Grellier's words, was an attempt "to synthesize into my music the emotions of my childhood" and was greatly influenced by American 1980s pop-culture, "80's soaps and an aesthetic which I particularly like: color, images, silvery films and the sun – images of Los Angeles, Chicago and all of the other cities that [...] continue to fascinate me."
In 2008, College released the album Secret Diary, alongside the EP Teenage Color.
In 2011, the collective released a second album Northern Council. The same year, College's song "A Real Hero" was used in the soundtrack of the film Drive becoming a charting hit in France reaching #26.
In an interview to magazine Tsugi, David Grellier said he was influenced by "nostalgic music", by the band Daft Punk, and artists like Alan Braxe, Fred Falke, Lifelike, Jacques Lu Cont (Stuart Price), Nicolas Makelberge, DJ Falcon, John Carpenter and others.

7 years now... This was the first synth pop song i ever heard from the 2010's. I think that College were from the first artists that played this kind of music so this song makes to be one of the very first that came out in public. Anyway i'm glad that i followed this band back then and discovered so many other great artists like The Midnight, Futurecop!, New Arcades, Noir Deco and all the others. Well done College! You've created a classic song of our age. Teenage Color!

Agreed

Indeed, Valerie Records, and they did a great job reviving an entire genre of music that seemed obsolete and embarrassing to enjoy around others hahaha

Maybe not the first but amongst (I watched Drive before knowing what was Synthwave). It had such an impact.

This is really bringing back the essence of 80's tunes....Love It!

the best sound from College IMO, no vocals, pure synth with energy hard to describe! great EP!

This song is the reason I even started to listen to new retrowave and traveled to synthwave and found HOME, Emil Rottmayor, and A.L.I.S.O.N.
