“‘New Scene’ is one of the best dance recordings of the year and one of the finest in Felix Cartal’s catalogue.”
“Felix really takes a different angle with this album, still remaining true to his electronic roots, but expanding more into melodies that scream summer dance floor fun…[the EP] will make you forget about the worries of the late sweet summer nights almost coming to a close!”
“Past Present Felix is an examination of the journey that Cartal has taken in his career: weaving through precisely placed electro breaks, extremely catchy vocals from a multitude of female guest artists like Koko Laroo and Ofelia, all culminating in a personal retrospective that is executed in a way bound to resonate with all sorts of listeners.”
