“Felix Cartal is first of all an amazing producer. His second album really showcases his pop
side of his production. What you get in his track ‘Don’t Turn On the Lights’ is huge massive
drops you would hear in his original productions previous to this, but now with a huge vocal…
We crown this one mental.”

Today, Tuesday, December 13, Dim Mak Records is releasing “Don’t Turn On The Lights” (featuring Polina), the first single from DJ/producer FELIX CARTAL’s upcoming album DIFFERENT FACES, set for release March 27, 2012. The video for “Don’t Turn On The Lights” will make its official premiere on MTV’s “Clubland” date TBD.
“Don’t Turn On The Lights” is a club-thumping track that features vocals from Polina, a vocalist who’s collaborated with both Steve Aoki and Kaskade. “‘Don’t Turn On The Lights’ is a chance for me to try some more memorable melodies,” says CARTAL. “I really wanted to create something that people could hum along to, something that they would recognize instantly, but still with powerful, hard-hitting production behind it. Polina’s vocals really helped bring this song together to make it one of the catchiest songs I feel that I’ve ever produced.”
Filmed in his hometown of Vancouver, CARTAL teamed with director David McDonald for a three-scene concept, all where the ‘lights come on’ and subjects avoid ruin by escaping into darkness.
DIFFERENT FACES is the follow-up to CARTAL’s 2010 debut album Popular Music. In a world of hard-hitting bangers, CARTAL is developing music of this genre into a new form, revolutionizing the way dance music is created. Knocking down boundaries of expectations and changing perspectives, CARTAL stands alone in his uniqueness of producing dance tracks; never steering from the melody, he lays certain elements from modern productions, adds meticulously chosen tracks combed together to develop explosive versatile music. Details about DIFFERENT FACES will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, CARTAL has also made available “The Weekend Workout,” a bi-weekly free podcast. Available every other Thursday, the mix features many of CARTAL’s favorite songs.
