.:Round 1-Felix Cartal @ Danceism in LA:.
Listening to Felix Cartal tunes through headphones and on your computer is no justice to the experience of feeling them reverberate through your body in a live performance. The death siren of Skeleton sends chills down your spine as you anxiously anticipate the drop. Each track from the next becomes heavier and heavier as the ground shakes so hard from the bass and treble that cups are falling off the tables.
A two story warehouse and a double vodka redbull that cost $22; Danceism may have had the essence of a ‘frat party’ (analogy surfaced by Heartscreams), but with full access to the stage I wasn’t complaining. The intimacy of the small venue was filled with Cartal’s music and the way he conducted his mechanical orchestra there might as well have been thousands of people there. *Hats off to his deadly drops of FDHC‘s Kickdrum and Elvis as well as a personal favorite song of mine, Birdy Nam Nam- The Parachute Ending (Vitalic Remix).
