I'm a big fan of french electro and Kavinsky is no exception: I discovered him and his Nightcall hit through the soundtrack of the movie Drive . IIRC he got into electronic music late in his life after a friend gave him a long-outdated Atari ST running Cubase (DAW). RIP.

Same here! Any recommendations for newer french electro artists?

Newer is not specifically it since I'm getting a bit too "old / nostalgia" now, but here is a small list (songs chosen are not specifically their biggest but ones I like to come back to) French79 - Hometown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAv5pLO37mE NTO - Invisible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFIcEwCPWZ8 Worakls - Trauma Worakls Remix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6QFfmwFT3k&list=RDf6QFfmwFT... - Salzburg htt…

"The Paris prosecutor's office said that "an investigation to establish the causes of death" had been opened, noting that no suspect was found at the scene on Tuesday evening." Its a strange announcement.

It's a mistranslation, the original quote is "Une enquête en recherche des causes de la mort est ouverte afin de déterminer l’origine du décès, aucun élément suspect n’ayant été découvert sur place par les services primo-intervenants. Les investigations sont en cours", which translates to "no suspicious element was found", not "no suspect was found"
