Record Makers

Kavinsky is a French producer based in Paris. Born Vincent Belorgey in 1975, he is known for his electro house music and production style that heavily draws inspiration from the synthesized, electro-pop film soundtracks of the 1980s.

Record Makers is a music label that was founded in 2000 by Air (Nicolas Godin & Jean-Benoît Dunckel) along with their associates Marc Teissier du Cros and Stéphane Elfassi. With a focus on electronic and alternative music, the label quickly gained recognition for its unique sound and innovative approach to production.

Throughout its history, Record Makers has been home to some of the most influential artists in the industry. From *Air* themselves to other notable acts such as Sebastien Tellier, Kavinsky, and Charlotte Gainsbourg, the label has consistently delivered groundbreaking music that pushes boundaries and defies genres.

In 2004, Air decided to step away from their roles within Record Makers. However, this did not hinder the label's success or creative output. Under the continued guidance of Marc Teissier du Cros and Stéphane Elfassi, Record Makers has continued to thrive and evolve, remaining at the forefront of cutting-edge music.

Kavinsky is a zombie who came back from the dead after his Testarossa crashed in 1986. His first song, "Testarossa Autodrive", was an instant success, and was followed by two singles. In 2007, he was chosen by Daft Punk to open their now legendary Alive tour. In 2011, his track "Nightcall", produced with Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, became the theme song for the film "Drive", and consequently a worldwide success. Kavinsky's first album, Outrun, was released in 2013, followed by a collaboration with The Weeknd on the song "Odd Look". In 2022, Kavinsky is back with Reborn, his second album recorded at the famous Motorbass studio in Paris, due March 25th. While recording it, Kavinsky had this special project to record a sequel to his hit song "Nightcall", which after all sounded almost like a movie scene. This sequel would be called "Zenith". Therefore, like in the original, he composed a duet between a girl and a man, but reversed: the verse is sung by the woman, the chorus by the man. Prudence (formerly from the successful duet The Dø) is the female vocalist, Morgan Phalen (who sung with Justice and is the vocalist of the band Diamond Nights) plays the male character along with a special guest: the saxophone. Zenith showcases Kavinsky's romantic side on a muted and futuristic sound.
