Everything about Vitalic's outward persona screams BOSS. It's not just the suave, understated Euro chic that he's been honing for years now, nor the fact that he's four albums deep into his career (quite a feat in the electronic industry), but the music itself. The totally unfussy electro house that is unmistakeably French. Carrying on the lineage from homegrown producers—think Garnier, Busy P and more recently Gesaffelstein and French Fries—Vitalic is the elder statesman who still leads the way.Vitalic plays Plisskën Festival in Athens, the young Greek festival that this year (6th & 7th June) brings the likes of Fuck Buttons, Mount Kimbie, Cooly G and Shackleton - as well as Vitalic, amongst others - to the ancient city. After being named one of the best summer festival of last year by Pitchfork, the festival (and Vitalic's slot) will likely be a smash. For more information, go here.
