One of BCs most famous DJ and electronic Dance producers Felix Cartal has dropped a new project called “i, sabotage”. Taelor Deitcher known as Felix Cartal dropped his first album in 2009 but he was already an underground superstar as he was opening for Justice, a french duo who also make electronic music. In his 3rd ever show Felix Cartal was already opening for over 4000 people. I think you can ask any artist 4000 people in your 3rd ever show is pretty big time. Felix is globally known now though he has been nominated for multiple Juno Awards and he has toured all over the world with various artists.
Now jumping to present day Felix Cartal is still doing what he is doing and he came out with a new project in “i, sabotage”. This album is a little bit different though from his other works as this seems more like a serious album rather than his up beat feel good music. Not to say there is no upbeat music in this album though because the album actually begins with a very upbeat beat track in “Nothing Like This”. Songs like “Sabotage”, and “Mouth of Madness”, really show the more serious side of the album. The up beat production might fool some people, you have to actually listen to the lyrics though to really see the message behind this album. An album filled with tension and a lot of self doubt.
The album is very late night drive coded. I can imagine listening to this after a very long night like the night is coming to an end and it’s time to go home. Collaboration plays a huge part in this album as Felix Cartal is just the producer. Felix Cartal picked his vocalists very carefully in making this album. Each artist is picked to match the emotional vibe of the song and Cartal does a great job of doing that. This album is for anyone who has second guessed themselves aka everyone. The album is called “i, sabotage” for a reason it is a story of self sabotage, but figuring out a way to move past that. With this album Felix Cartal continues to prove why he is one of the best at doing what he does, with the choices he makes on vocals to his elite production.
