Kavinsky, French producer behind Drive hit Nightcall, found dead at home

French electronic musician Kavinsky, whose real name is Vincent Belorgey, has died at age 50 after being found dead at his Paris home. Known for his work on the 2011 movie 'Drive' and the track 'Nightcall,' Belorgey was part of France's vibrant electronic music scene alongside artists like Daft Punk, Justice, and SebastiAn. Authorities have launched an investigation into his death, though initial reports found no suspicious elements. Belorgey began his career in the mid-2000s under the pseudonym Kavinsky, blending 16-bit video game sounds with French house music. His 2011 track 'Nightcall,' co-produced with Daft Punk, became a global hit and was later re-released in 2024. French Culture Minister Catherine Pégard and President Emmanuel Macron both paid tribute to his legacy.
