← Back | Musician | 5 Music Videos
The enigmatic French DJ and producer known as Kavinsky, a.k.a Vincent Belorgey, made a huge splash in the electronic music scene with his 2013 album "OutRun." With aesthetics ripped straight from 80s pulp culture, illustrated by a DeLorean on the album cover no less, Kavinsky's music can make anyone feel like they're in an episode of Miami Vice or outrunning baddies in a high-stakes arcade game. His most well-known track, "Nightcall," achieved viral fame, in no small part due to its haunting use in the soundtrack for the film "Drive,", showcasing Kavinsky's ability to merge electronic music with cinematic elements.
What's fascinating about Kavinsky isn't just his dynamic music, but the way he extends that energy to his music videos. The video for "Testarossa Autodrive" is a mini-racecar flick, with Kavinsky (in character as a half-man, half-car cyborg) racing through pixelated cityscapes. His videos aren't just spectacles of cool cars and arcade aesthetics, they're visual narratives that enhance his music. Here's something to stir up some water-cooler conversation: prior to adopting his moniker, Belorgey was actually a small-time actor. He played a zombie in one of his friend's movies and that experience partly inspired his Kavinsky character, bringing his love for storytelling full circle. From zombie to critically acclaimed musician, talk about a career change!
