FRENCH PRODUCER DJ Kavinsky has died aged 50. Kavinsky, who is best known for producing the synthwave hit ‘Nightcall’ for the soundtrack of the 2011 film Drive, was found dead in his home in Paris on Tuesday. Kavinsky’s early EPs included ‘Teddy Boy’ and ‘1986’, but his 2010 EP ‘Nightcall’ – the title track of which features in the film Drive, starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan – pushed him into the spotlight. In 2024, he performed ‘Nightcall’ with Belgian singer Angèle at the Summer Olympics closing ceremony in Paris. Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, led the tributes to the late DJ, posting on Facebook that Kavinsky was “a source of French pride forever”.
