The French electro DJ/remixer is one of the first names revealed from the annual Trinners shindig. Watch the dog-heavy video for 'Poney Part 1'.
Via an EXCLUSIVE from UnaRocks, the first names on this year's Trinity Ball line-up have been announced.
If you're putting on the Ritz this May 9 and plan to spend your night in central Dublin's part-time college/full-time tourist attraction, you'll be able to debauch yourself until early-house opening-time to the likes of superstar producer Mark Ronson, Berlin electro-DJ Boys Noize, indie-kid Lightspeed Champion... and le French touch of Vitalic (right).
Vitalic is Dijon-born DJ and remixer Pascal Arbez. He first came to attention with his 2001 track 'La Rock 01' and released his debut album, OK Cowboy, in 2005, from which you might know 'My Friend Dario' - if not the single, then perhaps its trashy video.
