Kavinsky Has Died at 50 — The French DJ Who Changed What a Films Opening Credits Could Feel Like [IDooeKEhka5]
Vincent Belorgey, known as Kavinsky, was found dead at his Paris home yesterday at age 50. Best known for Nightcall — the synthwave anthem that opened Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive in 2011 and introduced his music to a global audience — he was a defining figure of the French Touch electronic movement alongside Daft Punk and Justice. He performed Nightcall at the 2024 Paris Olympics closing ceremony. Lady Gaga cited him as a major influence. He had shows booked for the coming months. Fifty years old. Far too soon. #Kavinsky #FrenchTouch #popcultureposse
