Tune of the month
Vitalic 'Use It Or Lose It' (Clivage Music/Caroline International)
Electro innovator Vitalic is back to his best on new single ‘Use It Or Lose It’. A taster of his new album ‘Voyager’, which is set to drop in early 2017, it combines stampeding synths, fuzzy melodies and gentle vocals. Having laid the foundations for the likes of Daft Punk, Justice and Étienne de Crécy to dominate the airwaves with his early work on Gigolo Records, his new output will no doubt see 2016’s French electronic renaissance continue well into next year and beyond.
