i maintain that vitalic makes the best electronica ever made by anybody that isn't in kraftwerk or new order.

I am certain new material will appear anywhere between the next 1-5 months.

[gpallis] J'aime Vitalic beacoup, actuallement, le remixes (il s'appelle Dima ou Bolz Bolz) sont fantastique.
[gpallis] A Londres.
[gpallis] Est-il popular (um, je ne sais pas le mot?) en suisse, dizzee?
[alex skiatala] dima est son 2eme nom de scene pour la scène française
[alex skiatala] pas vraiment je connais car il est passé a sonar
[alex skiatala] tu connais fuckeristic ep
[gpallis] Entendais-tu son remix de "fading away"? S'est comme la mémoire d'un boum. Trop etonnant.
[gpallis] Non, par qui?
[alex skiatala] dima alias vitalic sur step-2-house
[gpallis] Oh! Wow!
[alex skiatala] il a produit aussi sur dancefloorkiller
[gpallis] je ne comprend pas sa message, il a produit la meme ep sur deux labels?
[gpallis] (pardon encore un fois pour la francaisse terrible)
[alex skiatala] non je veux dire qu'il a fait d'autre morceau sur dancefloorkiller

WHY HAS NO-ONE POSTED ABOUT THIS?

let the nail-biting begin

from vitalic.org:

VITALIC
next record to be released in september

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Could somebody please translate Gregory's post please?

― Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 20 July 2004 23:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I AM the only one who bought his remix of 'Cish Cash', aren't I?

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Snrub: basically I just found put from this Swiss dude on soulseek that there are two Dima eps out! Yay yay yay wow.

Barima: !!! Are there any lists of what he's done, anywhere? All this pseudonym stuff totally throws me.

― Gregory Henry (Gregory Henry), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

www.discogs.com

He remixed Basement Jaxx under the Vitalic moniker.

― Barima Chk-Chk-Chk (Barima), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i got that too Barima. surprisingly restrained i thought!

Eagerly awaiting the new single. Anyone know the title?

― stevo (stevo), Sunday, 29 August 2004 21:25 (twenty-one years ago)

oh c'mon, someone must know.

― stevo (stevo), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

A reliable source tells me VITALIC will be overwhelming my iTrip's crappy circuitry very soon.

He's releasing a whole new album soon right? If I read vitalic.org correctly anyway.

― Lukas (lukas), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 01:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Oops: andrew m. - "next record"

― Lukas (lukas), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 01:32 (twenty-one years ago)

The release in September is an EP through PIAS. Assume the album's gonna follow later on the same label...

― Mil (Mil), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 02:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't wait.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 5 September 2004 11:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Last night Uncle John Peel played a track from the new 12". The title was probably 'Fanfare 1'. More 'banging techno madness' about 5 minutes long, 136 bpm, lots of familiar Vitalic flourishes, crashing symbols, sirens going off etc pausing for Synth-noir section in the middle, difficult-to-understand vocals in the background. Not sure I'll love this as much as anything on the Poney EP but really looking forward to the album. Anyone know what the release date?

What are all of these!?

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 26 November 2004 08:10 (twenty-one years ago)

lots of mislabels (there is no Felix Da Housecat remix of "You Prefer Cocaine"), some bonafide remixes. See discogs.com for a comprehensive discography.

ugh. "everything is ok" (if it was labeled correctly) is melting my mind. i almost can't stand how slammin it is. also, i have a new theory: vitalic prefers cocaine! you know it's true!

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 17:03 (twenty-one years ago)

a quik trip to the dancefloorkillers site reveals that the track currently melting my mind is "absolut." what a killer.

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 17:15 (twenty-one years ago)

a dancefloor killer even

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Vitalic LIVE ON RADIO 1 NOW ! Tune in

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 23 December 2004 00:06 (twenty-one years ago)

i still haven't heard 'Absolut' you know

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Thursday, 23 December 2004 00:12 (twenty-one years ago)

it's pretty much the new album, with a weird encore and a tiny version on La Rock. + if you listen close you can hear me screaming wo-aaoaoao-ye-eah and whoopin' at the end of the session. everyone came out to dance

― nick.K (nick.K), Thursday, 23 December 2004 00:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I really hope Vitalic is the savior everyone seems to think he is...

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 23 December 2004 00:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, I have this on tape..recording with a c90

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 23 December 2004 00:21 (twenty-one years ago)

not a saviour Spencer, just some more great dance music

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Thursday, 23 December 2004 00:23 (twenty-one years ago)

i can't listen to it anymore anyway, shite internet

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Thursday, 23 December 2004 00:23 (twenty-one years ago)

This mix is very exciting! I'll try to save the stream. Radio1 stuff is usually up for a week, yes?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 23 December 2004 00:26 (twenty-one years ago)

correct

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 23 December 2004 00:28 (twenty-one years ago)

also, according to the forum on his site - where vitalic responds personally to every message from his fans! - he'll be touring the UK in april.

― pete b. (pete b.), Friday, 7 January 2005 09:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Where is he playing next week? I saw that he was on at Bugged Out on the 22nd and was thinking about going.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 7 January 2005 09:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I will most likely be there.

― RickyT (RickyT), Friday, 7 January 2005 09:47 (twenty-one years ago)

ok this is great

― ☪, Monday, 3 September 2007 20:56 (eighteen years ago)

Vitalic makes the nastiest, dark/saddest, most clumsy and tedious music I know of- it sure works like a charm on crusty drunken french teen crowds.

― blunt, Monday, 3 September 2007 21:11 (eighteen years ago)

He also rocks the neo-fascist fashion & style rather well.

― blunt, Monday, 3 September 2007 21:12 (eighteen years ago)

yeah hes known to wear keffiyehs and bomber jackets but i wouldnt hold that against him

― ☪, Monday, 3 September 2007 21:25 (eighteen years ago)

I don't quite know how or why, but my male intuition (or something) tells me that you're not a big fan, blunt. Is that correct?

― StanM, Monday, 3 September 2007 21:30 (eighteen years ago)

He's more of a sleek grey minimalist suits & motorcyle boots kinda mensch.
Yeah I was astounded at a live set of his about 4 months ago over here. It was metal techno for caners. Kids gobbled it up (and god knows what else).

― blunt, Monday, 3 September 2007 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

Just about the most manipulative and least subtle music I've had the opportunity to hear out, bar trance & related.

― blunt, Monday, 3 September 2007 21:46 (eighteen years ago)

what the hell is 'manipulative' supposed to mean, in the context of banging dance music? that it manipulates kids into jumping up and down? ok then, job done!

― jabba hands, Monday, 3 September 2007 23:29 (eighteen years ago)

predictably and heavy-handedly

new album 4.5 / 5 on RA.

can it really be all that?

― moonship journey to baja, Saturday, 26 September 2009 02:08 (sixteen years ago)

That's what I thought too. I read the review until the words Crystal Castles-style appeared, and I closed the browser and forgot about it instantly.

Listening to him now (as opposed to 2005, or whenever) a lot of it seems to sound really flat and macho in its aggressiveness, although the latter quality is also what gives it its charm.

― EDB, Saturday, 26 September 2009 02:55 (sixteen years ago)

that review is horrible

― jabba hands, Saturday, 26 September 2009 03:00 (sixteen years ago)

If it's even half as good as OK Cowboy I think we've pretty much got the album of the year locked up.

― Mr. Snrub, Saturday, 26 September 2009 03:04 (sixteen years ago)

it's not a horrible album, it's just...diminishing returns on the same old. "inessential" rather than awful.

― lex pretend, Saturday, 26 September 2009 09:22 (sixteen years ago)

naw it's good

― cutty, Saturday, 26 September 2009 21:44 (sixteen years ago)

two years pass...

ok. "no more sleep" got shared somewhere. from new album, Rave Age. um. first time i listened i hated. it's about as hamfisted as the album title, which is like Disco Very's stupid brother. almost softened on it after 2nd listen, but i really just think he's a lost cause. wish he'd prove me wrong. or do i even care? nah.
