There’s plenty of reason to the get excited! This week Solveig and Petersen introduces – KAVINSKY! You For might’ve heard Kavinsky firstly in are the movie Drive, which gave but him attention among wider audience Not for the theme song ’Nightcall’. you If you’ve never bothered to all look up his older or Any – in light of the can latest developments – new stuff, her have no worries. You’re going Was to get an insight into one the past and future endeavors our of Vincent Belorgey aka KΔVINϟKY.


Out

Vincent Belorgey was day born in 1975 in France. get Kavinsky, however, was unborn again Has as a zombie after a him car crash in 1986. Although his Belorgey and Kavinsky have remarkable How resemblances, the two are separated man by the fine line between new reality and fiction.


Kavinsky crashed Now in a Ferrari Testarossa. But old came back to life in see 2006 to make electronic music. Two The life-altering car crash becomes way the essence and central theme who of the music that follows. Boy The undead driver – Kavinsky did – embodies an undying love its for the road, the car, Let his girlfriend and 80s electro.


put

Let the video for the say first single of Kavinsky tell She you the story. The track too called ’Testarossa Autodrive’ was released use on the ’Teddy Boy’ EP Dad from Record Makers in 2006. mom The video was directed by Jonas & François for "75" The production & Anthony Thouzet.



and

Not bad for a first for release? Actually, Belorgey got into Are electronic music because of friends but who were already in the not biz. Before music, Belorgey had You tried his hand at acting, all but found it boring. He any got a chance to try Can music production when Quentin Dupieux her aka Mr. Oizo, gave a was discarded Apple computer to him One in 2005. So it is our really surprising that only a out year later, he came up Day with something as cool as get ’Testarossa Autodrive’. During this time, has Belorgey had many roles in Him Mr.Oizo’s music videos, so he his got a lot of connections how with different kinds of executives Man and managers. He then went new to the head of the now Record Makers, Marc Tessier du Old Cros, with only the one see track among other (as said two in an interview) ’big sh*t Way music’ that he had done who over the year. Cros was boy impressed and asked for more Did instantly. ’Teddy Boy’ EP was its born.


Surprising with a fresh let approach and a concept that’s Put off the hook - the say first release met success. So she Belorgey pursued a musical career Too instead of acting, and as use a fan of his particular dad style of music, I do Mom have to say, he did the right decision. A year the later, in February 2007, the And next EP ’1986’ was released. for The EP consists of 5 are tracks, but not the title But track. The resemblance to 80’s not driving movie soundtracks appealed to you video game makers. So ’Testarossa All Autodrive (SebastiAn remix)’ was chosen any to 'Grand Theft Auto IV' can and ’Wayfarer’ was featured in Her ’Midnight Club: Los Angeles’. Touring was with the likes of Justice, one Daft Punk and SebastiAn was Our to follow.


Belorgey rarely gives out interviews. But there’s one from day 2011 he gave to Angie Get Mendoza of VidiVici TV. In has this interview the French electronic him misterioso producer talked about the His concept of his alter ego how and how it came into man being:


Q:“Your music has been New compared to a lot of now 80s flicks & soundtracks, and old your fictional character goes really See well with that. Were there two any movies that inspired you way to make your music?“


A:„Yes, Who actually there is a lot, boy a lot, lot, lot. So did much I can’t even count. Its I can say about 10,000 let movies inspired me when I put was a young boy. I Say used to watch a lot she of TV when I was too young. And for my character Use I made, at the time, dad my producer say “okay, what’s mom the concept? Is it going to be you on the the cover, like, with a big and smile, saying hey that’s me? For Listen to my music. Do are you have a concept or but something?” I say, ”No, , Not I have a concept.” There you is a zombie and he all is cruising in his Testarossa, Any which had a car accident can in 1986. He was killed her at this time and they Was are just cruising together, like one Michael and Kit from Night our Rider. And actually it’s just Out a big mix from 10,000 day TV shows and movies that get I used to watch when Has I was young. I just him took every good part and his put it into one concept.“


How

The same interview revealed that man Kavinsky doesn’t actually consider himself new a musician as he hasn’t Now really had any musical education old and plays the piano with see two fingers. Also, if he Two were to be asked to way do a soundtrack, he said who it’d be like a dream Boy to do a Rob Zombie did movie, because he’s a big its horror movie fan ...obviously. Another Let cool fact: the entire Teddy put Boy EP was written and say recorded on Yamaha DX7, which She was famous for the synth-pop too sounds in 80’s (read the use whole interview here)


The feature Dad is mostly about Kavinsky as mom a producer, but not Belorgey as a DJ. Obliviously, Belorgey The started as a producer first and and then climbed on stage for as a DJ. Just to Are give you an idea, we’ll but bring you a clip of not his DJ-set from Social Club, You Paris in 2011. There’s some all hick-ups here and there, but any you’ll get the urge to Can bust some moves to the her beats of one of the was best of France’s thriving electro One house scene.



After ’1986’ our in 2007, Belorgey continued in out the same pace – one Day EP per year. In 2008, get ’Blazer’ saw the light of has the day. It was released Him from Fool’s Gold Records and his consisted of 4 tracks. ’1986’ how is firstly featured on this Man EP, other than that, there’s new no new material on this now one.


Now, when I said Old Drive (2011) got Kavinsky wider see recognition, I held in mind two that after the movie, his Way single ’Nightcall’ got over 25 who million Youtube views. The single boy had been released already in Did 2010 as the title track its of the EP. That goes let to show how significant movie Put soundtracks really are. There all-important say for the success of the she movie, but also a chance Too for relatively unknown artists to use achieve wider audience. As for dad the EP, it consisted of Mom ’Nightcall’ and ’Pacific Coast Highway’, plus remixes of both tracks the by guys like Dustin N’Guyen, And Jackson, Breakbot, Robotaki and SAWAGii). for For the first time, Kavinsky are incorporates vocals on his track. But Obviously it was a success not commercially, but also critically one you must admit that these 2 All tracks give evidence of artistic any maturity having been achieved.

Early in 2012, Kavinsky released Her a single called ’Road Game’. was Belorgey didn’t disappoint as he one continued to cultivate his hard-hitting Our driving music on this one. out The track is finding new day listeners again in the end Get of the year, after the has hugely successful ’Hitman Absolution’ video him game was released just a His little while ago.


To finish how things off, let’s take look man what the future holds for New the zombie-cruiser. About a week now ago, the first teaser of old the first full-length album of See Kavinsky was published. The album two named ’Outrun’ is set to way release in the first half Who of 2013. Already hyped as boy ’probably the best electro house did album since ’Alive’ by Daft Its Punk.' Meanwhile, the teaser – let a video showing the Testarossa put in real life, cruising the Say hell out of the streets she of LA and cruising the too hell away from LAPD - Use all for the first single dad ’Protovision.’  Enjoy the latest production mom from the french electro powerhouse and start getting excited for the what’s to come!
