Born Pascal Arbez, Vitalic's unique sound befits an artist from the peripheries, drawing influence from big-shot neighbors (the silky filter disco of Paris' Daft Punk, in Vitalic's case) and then twisting it into a gnarled, wanton shape that doesn't bother hiding a sneer. After a few years spent recording as Dima, Vitalic burst into clubbers' consciousnesses with 2001's <I>Poney</I> EP, a blast of stomping, stadium-sized electro-house balancing pop wit and rhythmic muscle. Quickly becoming a regular on the European festival circuit, Vitalic continued to release singles that were eventually collected as the album <I>Ok Cowboy</I>. He recorded a mix and a live album before returning in 2009 with <I>Flashmob</I>, a collection of all-new material. - Philip SherburneU.K./Euro Technoen720Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:39:40 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9468152&rws=%2Fvitalic%2Fdiscography.rss Dijon, France, may not rank high among dance-music lovers' dream destinations, but the city merits an entry in techno history thanks to Vitalic.
