I’ve been a huge fan of Felix’s mixes and while I haven’t been able to catch one of his shows, he’s always been a part of mine. I discovered his sound and it has influenced many of my sets, with a usually heavy rotation in the middle of my set. Nearly any day of the week you can find many of his tracks trending at the top of the list on Hype Machine.
Felix Cartal - Dim Mak Records
Felix Cartal was born with a passion for hard hitting electronic music. With influences ranging from the heavy hitting distortion of The Bloody Beetroots and Boys Noize, to the techno influences of Vitalic, Felix has created an amalgamation of electronic genres which results in a unique listening experience for home and live audiences alike. His distinctive method of incorporating abrasive distortion, intense instrumental build-ups and unique frequency variations in his songs gives Felix a sense of versatility within the electronic scene. This versatility has led Cartal to become one of the leaders of heavy-house – a genre known for its relentless intensity and bass and distortion heavy melodies.
Interview
Desired Hearts: You’ve worked with a long list of artists over the past couple of years both in shows and through producing. Who are some of your favorites to work with as far as music style goes?
Felix Cartal: I recently worked on a track for my upcoming album with Johnny Whitney (from The Blood Brothers, Neon Blonde, Jaguar Love). I have always been a fan of his work, especially the Blood Brothers, so to work with him was really exciting for me. The track I made was really high energy and I felt like his unique, abrasive, yet melodic vocal style could really add to it and make it something better. The product we came up with I feel is really strong, and is going to be the first single off my forthcoming album.
