“Where Do You Go” is a synth-laden banger with plenty of bite, but it’s catchy enough to fit into any mainstream radio lineup

Billboard

[‘Bon Appétit’] “Oozing with bubbly nu-disco and deep house influences like subtle yet warm synths and expertly crafted bass shots in the chorus, which intertwine beautifully with the velvety vocals of YA-LE, who absolutely slayed the top-line.”

EARMILK

[‘At Night’] “As the drop nears, the song crescendos into a soundscape bursting with euphoric chord progressions and electric guitar riffs that signal the explosion ahead. Once the shuffle friendly kicks rejoin the mix, the infectious single leaves little choice but to let loose to the rhythm.”

Speaking of ‘On Your Mind’, Shaun Frank tells us, “The vocals are really fun on this record, and I wanted to do something with a classic house sound but with a modern twist…something almost Motown inspired. I actually started by making a slow old school funk style beat, and then sampled that and produced the song around it. Alicia really made the song come to life, the texture of her voice matches perfectly with the vibe I was going for. Very excited for the world to hear it!”

Pop Dust

Felix Cartal is known for creating melodic electro ballads with slick, memorable bass lines. ‘Mine’ takes a storytelling narrative and embodies pure nostalgia with classic electronic dance elements, allowing for the makings of a major radio hit. Speaking of lost loves and carrying an underlying gloominess, Felix Cartal prevents the track from getting too heavy with light production styles and clear, honeyed female vocals.

Speaking of the single, Felix Cartal tells us, “In ‘Mine’ each verse is about a different kind of love. In Verse 1 we have been sixteen and your childhood, Verse 2 a post-college adult and, The Bridge is a more mature adult looking back. We wanted it to be folk-ish in melody and in production to emphasize the focus on it being a narrative, really story-driven. Finally, the drop melody is Sophie singing a clean sweet melody and it being distorted kind of like what happens when one looks back on memories. We often remember them differently as time passes”

TORONTO, ON – November 15, 2019 – Indie-electronic duo HOFFEY return with their dreamy pop single “Holiday”, released via Physical Presents.

Listen HERE

The track produced by David Balshaw and Bubele Booi, who most notably produced Beyonce’s single “Find Your Way Back”, is a bleak look with a positive twist of what it was like to live in an abysmal apartment for a year. The duo explains, “‘Holiday’ is a song most people can relate to – where you’ve been working at the same job, doing the same shit every day – to the point where you might lose your mind. This song is really about taking that dream vacation, so you can feel refreshed, renewed, and be a better version of yourself.”

There is a fire central to HOFFEY’s sound and it is fueled by passion and synergy. The duo consists of married couple Jordan and Erika Toohey. “Holiday” comes after HOFFEY’s critically acclaimed singles, “Love Is Wild” and most recent 2019 summer single “Alive”. While the singles are defined as electronic pop in genre, many of them have a healthy blend of singer-songwriter and R&B components; Most, revolving around sensuality and the intensity life offers. They provide a sonic, vivid portrait of a feeling that is often hard to describe; it’s a fuzzy, desirous kind of passion that not only leaves you dizzy, out of breath, out of your mind, but always wanting more.

FELIX CARTAL ANNOUNCES FULL LENGTH NEXT SEASON OUT MAY 4th

LISTEN TO NEW TRACK FACES FT. VERONICA

TORONTO, ON – April 9, 2018 – Electronic producer Felix Cartal has revealed that his highly anticipated full-length album Next Season will drop on May 4th via Physical Presents/Cadence Music. He has given fans another taste of the album with the track “Faces” featuring Veronica – listen here.

In a world where meaningful conversations often occur over texts and social media rules our perceptions, Felix Cartal and singer Veronica’s new track “Faces” is a poignant PSA to focus on real, human connection. With its essence of resplendent melodies, stirring vocals and of course a little groove, the song is both a warning and a hopeful message to young people who feel insecure when faced with a raw in-person interaction. “Faces is about getting over our fear and remembering that we’re all human, and that trying to connect with someone on a real, in-person level is important,” says Felix of the inspiration behind the track. Veronica echoes his sentiment, saying “We want to remind anyone listening that there’s nothing more important than the people we surround ourselves with, so don’t hide from the faces.” “Faces” is the newest single from Felix’s forthcoming album and is out now on Physical Presents.

With his dreamy, melodic and yet dance-floor friendly sound Cartal has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in modern dance music. Felix’s appeal lies in his ability to convey complex emotions through his music, like the hopeful angst of his hit single, “Get What You Give,” leaving listeners with a positive emotional catharsis. To this effect, “Get What You Give” went to #3 on the pop radio charts and is a certified Gold Record in Canada. Overall, Felix has 75 million Spotify streams globally. To add to these recent successes, Felix performed as the house DJ on the broadcast for The JUNO Awards at the end of March. With such immense recent successes, we can’t wait to see what’s next for Felix.
