"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.
FOR NOW, YOU CAN PURCHASE THE "VOLCANO" FEATURING JOHNNY WHITNEY OF JAGUAR LOVE, A SINGLE & EXCLUSIVE REMIX BY FELIX CARTAL!
The visionary behind DIM MAK RECORDS who discovered and released artists from Bloc Party to the Gossip, Klaxons, MSTRKRFT, and The Bloody Beetroots, now dons his producer hat to release his own single, "I'm In The House".
Featuring rhymes by the mysterious [[[ZUPER BLAHQ]]], STEVE AOKI'S debut signle is the follow up to a string of hit remixes and collaborations with such artists as Michael Jackson, The Bloody Beetroots, Armand Van Helden, Laidback Luke, Boys Noize, The Faint, NASA (w/ Kanye West, Lykki Li & Santigold), Tiga, Junkie XL, The Killers, and Lenny Kravitz.
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.

Congratulations to our boys in FMTM on getting featured as #20 onTHESILENTBALLET’sstaff TOP 50 releases of 2009!
“After six years of absence, FMTM returns with an ambitious album featuring a charged political agenda, but it is behind the band’s overt aims that the essence of On Little Known Frequencies lies. With an intricate immix of genres, FMTM’s melodic, intense, and catchy compositions coalesce into a complexly themed piece of music. Unpredictable and yet clearly studied, the songs take the form of an atypical trip; the elegant winding roads seem enticing on a first spin, but they definitely aren’t for everyone. Dare to delve further, though, and the serious eclecticism will stand out and make this album worth keeping on one’s list of prodigious records. (Diana Sitaru)”
THE WILLOWZ, a band with more enemies than John Gotti, the respect of a renowned filmmaker, a handful of some of the catchiest songs being written today, and who don't give a shit about any of it. It's hard to predict where The Willowz will go next. Prison, or the top of the charts?
"EVERYONE", NEW FULL LENGTH ALBUM IS OUT NOW! The Willowz, will once again, captivate audiences with their unique and beautiful sound. "Everyone" makes for a harmonious, fierce rocking melodic album to add to the Dim Mak Records catalog! 1st single, "REPETITION", features remixes by JAIMIE FANATIC, SHARKSLAYER, STEED LORD, and ACIDKIDS!
