Stage: Dance East
Time: Sunday, 7pm
Dress code: This audience seems to have made the most effort, with inventive twists on dance-club threads and lots of sunglasses.
In summary: Pascal Arbez, aka Vitalic, certainly knows how to work a crowd hungry for some solid electronic music, of which there is a chronic shortage at this year's festival. His impeccable timing makes the efforts of Simian Mobile Disco on this very stage yesterday look just amateur.
Highlight: La Rock 01, Poney Part 1 and No Fun. The first is still a club anthem after all these years, and all three receive welcome whistles of approval when dropped.
Lowlight: More electroclash-esque vocals (think Miss Kittin) on some of the tracks could have added that missing something.
Unusual occurrences: Someone wearing what looked like a policeman's motorcycle helmet, visor down.
Mark out of 10: 7
Where they'll be on the bill next year: Probably nowhere. Unless Vitalic comes up with another release like 2001's Poney EP.
Will be talking about this set until: It's not about the talking. If you were there, you'll remember the good bits for a while yet.
