"I never liked music until I heard my own."- Felix Cartal
That's one hell of statement. To be absolutely clear, FELIX CARTAL was joking when he said it. But listening to his debut LP, Popular Music (DIM MAK, Feb. 23), it's hard not to wonder if he wasn't just a little bit serious. Packed from start to finish with some truly dirty dance tracks, Popular Music is Felix's definitive statement - a defense of heavy beats, distorted melodies, and epic buildups and breakdowns. And starting in February, Felix will be touring North America as a part of his Popular Music Tour.

NINJASONIK (live):::"Ninjasonik are tha future. Jah Jah's the punk, Telli's the rapper, and Teenwolf keeps the beat spinning. Ninjasonik come from a place of pure adulation for what they get to do and the good people they get to do it with. Rhythms and synths so filthy they make songs about pregnancy, aids, and tight pants seem like odes to the dancefloor and the company of friends."-popmontreal.com
JAPANTHER (live):::Japanther’s music is, all at the same time, poignant, intense, danceable and fun. While they often refer to themselves as "more of an art project than a band" Japanther gets points for making some of the most memorable, hummable and fun music of any art project in recent memory. Japanther is part Screamers intensity, part Misfits anthemery, part RZA samples/beats and part Lightning Bolt art/freakshow.
TEAM FACELIFT (live):::Team Facelift is a New York City trio best known for their unconventional and eerie aliases. The trio indulges in fake names and talk about fake places that they dwell in such as a Tel Aviv discotheque and the shampoo aisle. They are profound artists and unlike the predictable bands they have a tendency of going overboard with their theatrics.
FASHEN:::Phoenix, Arizona native Daniel Kutz, better known as DJ Fashen became an essential part of the budding Los Angeles club circuit in the early 90’s. With over 10 years of radio under his belt and almost 2 decades behind the turntables performing at concerts, clubs, and producing multiple mix CDs and remixes, Fashen continues to dominate and secure his position at the forefront in the evolving world of DJing. DJ Fashen has grown to become synonymous with the art of DJing throughout the world.

MOTOR’s new album ‘Hyper Machine’ is metallic music, combining techno beats and raw rock riffs, underscored by ‘mechanical grooves that spit blood’
All thirteen album tracks retain MOTOR'strademark electronic/ rock elements previously showcased on Mute albums 'Klunk' and 'Unhuman', though this time round the emphasis is firmly on the dance-floor.
“We wanted it to carry on the spirit of those first two records, but at the same time we had to break new ground and we knew after producing just a few rough demos that the new record was going to be seriously raw and off the wall,” says the band, “We wanted to get back into the clubs with a fresh sound.”
‘Hyper Machine’ is out now Dim Mak Records. Preceding this release is the single ‘Death Rave', an acid techno monster of a track that rocks. Hard. ‘‘Death Rave' has just been nominated as best club/dancefloor song of 2009 at the Qwartz Awards in France.
