Vitalic

Pascal Arbez-Nicolas (French pronunciation: [paskal aʁbɛz nikɔla]; born 18 May 1976), better known by his stage name Vitalic (/ˈvɪtəlɪk/), is a French electronic music producer.
His first singles were released in 1996 and 1997, but were confined to the underground electronic music scene. However, he became good friends with techno producer The Hacker, whom he met in Le Rex Club, the "techno temple" of Laurent Garnier. The Hacker suggested that he should send his new tracks to DJ Hell, head of International DeeJay Gigolo Records in Munich. Pascal did so, and International DeeJay Gigolo Records released the well known Poney EP in 2001, which was a huge success shortly after its release. With the track "La Rock 01", Vitalic created a club anthem which was a hit in the summer of 2001. The track was also included on many compilation albums, even rock compilations. Miss Kittin included "La Rock 01" on her DJ mix album On the Road.

Peel first played Vitalic's music on his show in the summer of 2004 via his Poney EP. He would play further material from the artist, including nominating his 'Fanfares' single, as one of his records of the month for September 2004 (Peel's Record Box). 
Vitalic did a live mix from Maida Vale for the 21 December 2004 (Rob Da Bank) programme after Peel's death.
