Success can hinge on a sliver of timing and a sweep of darkness. Parisian producer Kavinsky had kept this incredible track tucked away for months. Co-produced with Guy Manuel of Daft Punk, its ultra-synthetic sound lounged in Paris’s underground clubs without ever erupting. Then Cannes did what Cannes does: changed everything in a single beat. When Ryan Gosling appears on screen, steering through empty Los Angeles streets, the room goes quiet. The track instantly becomes the soundtrack of nocturnal joyrides. It’s a glorious digital crash—cinema detonating a second life for a jewel of French electronic music.
