Talking “Harmony” with Felix Cartal
The Canadian producer chats livestreams, music videos & fashion around the release of his latest single.
“Some people think you need $40,000 to make a music video,” says Taelor Deitcher, perhaps better known by his production alias Felix Cartal. “I think you just need a creative idea, then you can make anything work for whatever budget you have.”
This year could be seen as a huge barrier by many people or it could be taken as an opportunity to learn, create, and better yourself. Cartal chose the latter and channeled himself and his goals over the last few months — and his entire career, actually.
The mid-2000s was when we were first introduced to the Canadian producer while he was touring with MSTRKRFT and other house era icons. Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records signed him and acted as his home base for many years, and saw the release of his debut EP, Skeleton, and his first studio album, Popular Music.
He’s come quite a way since then, touring the world and gracing dancefloors with his always-evolving sound — melodic house for those of you that might not be familiar. But right now, looking at 2020, he’s come full circle by reverting back to his electro-infused blog house roots.
Along the road, Cartal has built his own personal brand, but by reinventing himself through his art to his music, music videos, collaborations, and more recently live streams, he has created a strong future-proof brand for himself.
