Felix Cartal, real name Taelor Deitcher, is a Canadian DJ and electronic dance music producer from Vancouver, Canada. He released his first EP Skeleton in 2009 once he signed with Dim Mak Records. Since then he has gone on to release four full-length albums, 2010's Popular Music, 2012's Different Faces, 2018's Next Season, and 2021's Expensive Sounds for Nice People.
In 2000, Cartal attended New Westminster Secondary School in New Westminster, British Columbia. He began playing bass in the punk and hardcore scene with a band called Dysfunctional. Their musical style were inspired from groups such as Refused, NOFX and Anti-Flag. They had developed a small fanbase in North Vancouver and performed at venues before reforming into a more progressive, The Mars Volta/Pink Floyd-inspired group named Orange Orange, which broke up in 2006.
Following the group's disintegration, Cartal experimented with music production software such as Reason and Cubase. Influenced by the club nights and parties with local DJs, Cartal acknowledged the similarity of the punk and EDM scenes which prompted him to get involved into the EDM scene.
