“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

His myriad of talents will continue to place him on the forefront of the electronic/pop scene, as well as in the credits for some of the world’s most successful chart-topping hits.

[‘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.”

His own release, ‘Let You Get Away’, garnered him huge success and received over 15 million streams online (8 million on Spotify alone), and earned him his first JUNO Nomination for “Dance Recording of the Year”. The producer has previously released music with other industry mammoths, including the likes of Steve Aoki, Oliver Heldens, DVBBS, KSHMR, Digital Farm Animals, and Dragonette. Continuing his list of achievements with official remixes for The Chainsmokers, Duke Dumont,& Louis The Child, Shaun Frank has also performed at several world-renowned festivals including Tomorrowland, and EDC Las Vegas and has shared a stage with the likes of Tiesto, The Chainsmokers and Steve Aoki.

Also featured in ‘On Your Mind’ is Alicia Moffet, a young singer-songwriter from Quebec. The 21-year-old has a knack for translating her authentic and charming persona into song form. After just a few months of releasing music, the songstress sits at over 10 million plays across streaming platforms for her three singles, with a dedicated fan base of over 750K followers on social media, including more than 200K subscribers on YouTube. With momentum showing no signs of slowing down and her first EP release in the spring, 2020 is looking like it will be Alicia Moffet’s biggest year to date.

While Shaun Frank is currently based in Toronto, he is originally from Vancouver. Finding influences in a wide variety of artists, the musician has the likes of Cassian, Duke Dumont, Dom Dolla, Mark Knight, Chris Lake and Rufus Du Sol on his speakers. His own sound sits in closer comparison to the likes of Calvin Harris, Disciples and Duke Dumont.

Drawing from classic house influences that meet the modern radio loving aspects of pop and EDM, Shaun Frank and Alicia Moffet have created the next dance track to grace your speakers. Whether lounging poolside with your friends or soaking up the sun on the beach, ‘On Your Mind’ allows the listener to embrace the world of warm summer fantasies. Moffet’s voice soars as the beat rises to meet her, the two-building and spiralling upwards until the beat drops with driving piano chords and a grooving bassline.

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!”

TORONTO, ON – November 4, 2019 – Felix Cartal has become the king of energetic, melodic house music, and he’s pulled out all the stops with a new motivational video project titled “Right Now” which he created in collaboration with Jacob Crawford. This time the Canadian DJ and producer tackles an issue that all artists know too well: feeling stuck at a creative roadblock with no end in sight. To encourage fellow creatives to push through their dark times, Cartal took a trip to Los Angeles and recruited some friends for insight into what has helped them when they’ve been struggling artistically. Over the backdrop of Cartal’s uplifting melodies and simply inspiring vocals, music icons including Kaskade, ZEDD, Lights, Anna Lunoe, and Chris Lake open up about their mechanisms to get through creative blocks, what success means to them and more. In the end, “Don’t wait, just do it Right Now” is the best advice. No matter how experienced, every creative person can find the motivation to keep going from this touching video. Check out a message from Felix Cartal himself as well as the full list of featured artists below:

“I’ve always wanted to make a video to help inspire artists who are just getting started. Sometimes it feels like being stuck is something that only happens to you. It’s not true. Everyone feels that way sometimes. This video has been over a year in the making, and I’m so proud of it finally coming together. TO EVERY SINGLE ARTIST, CREATOR, OR HUMAN WHO’S EVER BEEN STUCK. THIS VIDEO IS FOR YOU!” – Felix Cartal

Full list of Appearances: ZEDD, Kaskade, Steve Aoki, Galantis, Tokimonsta, K. Flay, GREY, Lights, Chris Lake, SNBRN, 3LAU, Anna Lunoe, Phoebe Ryan, Daniela Andrade, Dada Life, Lexy Pantera, Jauz, Sonreal, Luna Shadows, Milk & Bone, Naderi, Veronica, Frank Walker, REGN, Chet Porter, Sophie Simmons, Ofelia K, STINT, Gabrielle Current, Whipped Cream, Kasey Lum (Video Director), Andy Dixon (visual artist), Emmet Sparling (photographer), Matt Komo (director), Jacob Crawford (director), Gina Shkeda (YouTuber).

With his combination of melancholic indie vocals and dance-floor friendly sound, Felix Cartal has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in modern dance music. The last years proved to be catalytic for the producer, who was included in Billboard’s “13 Dance Artists Who Dominated 2017” feature and whose Spotify channel has over 200 million streams. Felix’s appeal lies in his ability to convey complex emotions through his music, like the hopeful angst of “Get What You Give,”which went top 5 on multiple radio charts, was named one of Billboard’s “50 Best Dance/Electronic Tracks of 2017”; and became a Canadian Certified Platinum record and Juno Award nominee. 2018’s release of Felix’s poignantly self-reflective album Next Season further upped the ante for the producer which has reached 100M streams and earned him a 2019 Juno Award nomination for Electronic Album of the Year. Between the release of “Love Me” with Lights, which went Top 5 on radio nationwide and is certified Platinum; “Over It”, “More” with Kaskade, official remixes for Ellie Goulding, Diplo, Astrid S (to name a few), 2019 has seen a series of brand new tracks from Felix from his upcoming album. This year has also seen the launch of Cartal’s “club music only” project Glass Petals which has been releasing music on Spinnin’, Arkade and Heldeep Records.
