Felix Cartal Wants You To Love Popular Music


This week has been a nightmare. If you read the blog regularly you'll see that things haven't been to regular this week. I've barely had chance to sleep let alone post on here thanks being absolutely buried. It's been a nightmare but the good thing is, this week is over.

Hello weekend! That being said, lets kick off this Friday in style with an ass kicker from our good friend Felix Cartal. The man is pretty much becoming synonymous with the words hard house and his album Popular Music is the reason why. The record squiggles, bangs and clangs its way through the dance floor, drags you back on it and then has its way with you. And that's just the first couple of tunes. By the end you'll be begging for mercy but there will be none.

That being said, Felix Cartal knows that you will love Popular Music so much, he is extending his North American tour. While he could pack it after tearing the roofs off clubs in Austin, Miami and countless cities in between he's decided to come back for more and beat you up one more time. Cartal’s recently released debut (March 30th) kicks off with the eponymous opener and is a ravey, banger built around a catchy vocal line, “Break-it down / Smash it up / Back to where you begin /Take it left / Take it right / Come on say it again.” And that ladies and gentlemen pretty much sums up Felix in a nutshell throw in his characteristic larger-than-life beats and catchy, fuzzed-out melodies and you have one hell of an album.
