Pascal Arbez-Nicolas, professionally known as Vitalic, is a pioneering force within the international electronic music scene. Born in Dijon, France, in 1976, Vitalic first emerged from the French underground in the late 1990s, quickly gaining recognition for his signature blend of throbbing techno, electroclash, and Italo-disco influences. Vitalic made a breakthrough with his debut EP *Poney* (2001), which featured the iconic track “La Rock 01” and attracted the attention of influential DJs and labels.

He followed this early success with his highly acclaimed debut album, *OK Cowboy* (2005), a record that became a touchstone for modern electronic music due to its infectious melodies, raw energy, and meticulous production. Over the years, Vitalic has continued to evolve his style while maintaining his unmistakable sonic identity. Albums such as *Flashmob* (2009), *Rave Age* (2012), and *Voyager* (2017) explored new sounds, incorporating elements of synth-pop, new wave, and punk attitude into his dancefloor-oriented productions.

His energetic live performances, which fuse electronic hardware with visual spectacle, have earned him a devoted global following and appearances at major festivals like Sónar, Coachella, and Primavera Sound. A collaborator and remixer for artists as diverse as Björk, Daft Punk, and Paul Kalkbrenner, Vitalic has also contributed significantly to the soundtrack of French nightlife, influencing a whole generation of producers and DJs. Through his own label, Citizen Records, and his continued dedication to pushing musical boundaries, Vitalic remains a leading figure in the evolution of electronic music.
