Editor's note

Kavinsky's synthwave soundtracks a retro-futuristic mood.

A French electronic musician whose pulsing track 'Nightcall' became a signature after featuring in the film 'Drive.'

If you're new to Kavinsky, start with 'Nightcall' and 'Reborn.' They frame his lane of cinematic, pulsing synth instrumentals pretty clearly.

Kavinsky's music leans heavily on the synthwave and 1980s film score textures that defined a certain cinematic, retro-futuristic vibe. The track 'Nightcall' from 2010 became his calling card, especially after it was featured in the movie 'Drive.' Other songs like 'Odd Look' and 'Renegade' show collaborations with artists including The Weeknd and Cautious Clay, keeping his sound in conversation with broader electronic and pop currents.

Vincent Belorgey surfaced in the mid-2000s recording as Kavinsky. His debut album 'OutRun' arrived in 2013, followed by 'ProtoVision' in 2017 and 'Reborn' in 2022. For live shows, he's often joined by musicians like Gaspard Augé from Justice.

Vincent Belorgey records as Kavinsky, a French electronic musician who surfaced in the mid-2000s. His sound leans heavily on synthwave and the pulsing electronic textures of 1980s film scores. The track 'Nightcall' from 2010 became his calling card, especially after it was featured in the movie 'Drive.'

His debut album 'OutRun' arrived in 2013, followed by 'ProtoVision' in 2017 and 'Reborn' in 2022. Other songs like 'Odd Look' and 'Renegade' show he's worked with artists including The Weeknd and Cautious Clay. For live shows, he's often joined by musicians like Gaspard Augé from Justice.

There was some noise in 2013 about a legal dispute with Daft Punk over similarities between 'Nightcall' and their song 'Within,' though that seems to have settled. Mostly, his music sticks to its lane: cinematic, retro-futuristic synth instrumentals with a clear visual sensibility.
