His real name is Pascal Arbez-Nicolas, although everyone (yes, almost everyone) knows him by his alias Vitalic<\/strong>. The phenomenon boomed in 2001, and we could say that the Poney EP was its Big-Bang. That release included “La Rock 01”, a track that left its mark on electronic music at the turn of the century and was soon considered by critics an anthem of the genre. Many believe that it was there that the Frenchman began to write his story. They are wrong. The story began a few years earlier.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t as Vitalic, it was as Dima<\/strong><\/a>. It happened in the ’90s, when the rave scene was booming in France. The energy that was breathed in those parties was, according to those who were there, from another world, unimaginable in current times. In fact, Pascal himself says that his project as Dima was based on energy<\/strong>: “It was a kind of crazy project with dark and cerebral music.” He was living near Dijon, a city that saw its An-Fer club become a trend on the scene thanks to the visits of Jeff Mills or Laurent Garnier, great influences for Pascal.<\/p>\n
