"Currently the dance darling of choice for Evening Session listeners (replacing last years Mylo infatuation), Vitalic finally releases his debut LP after an apprenticeship served remixing the likes of Bjork, Slam and Basement Jaxx.'OK Cowboy' certainly has all the right constituents in place but does this make it classically informed machine music or electronica by numbers? Keep an eye on the chimney for white or black smoke... Opening with 'Polkamatic', Vitalic (aka Pascal Arbez-Nicolas) emerges with a squelch as a rubber coated beat bounces into view.’Poney Part 1' (culled from his International Deejay Gigolo EP), is a pounding slab of growling bass, ebbing ambient washes and succour punch rhythms that does just enough to keep its head above the water. If you've not heard the over-hyped 'My Friend Dario' we salute you, but here it is in all its glory; drifting far too close to the anaemic mid-90's indie-dance movement for our liking and clipping The Grid's 'Swamp Thing' as it does so. Leaving behind these sticky floored dalliances, 'Ok Cowboy' is far more successful when it avoids the blue Smarties and calms down a bit with 'The Past'. Check."
