Kavinsky’s Nightcall composer dies at 50, leaving Drive’s haunting legacy

French electro-pop producer Kavinsky, born Vincent Belorgey, has died at 50. The tracks he created, especially Nightcall which set the mood for the Drive soundtrack, left a lasting imprint on pop culture. He was found at his Paris home with the death under investigation but not deemed suspicious; France’s Culture Minister and President Macron paid tribute, and Kavinsky had recently performed Nightcall at the Paris 2024 Olympics closing ceremony.
