Felix Cage drops nbr 100
We great honour we present our 100th mix in our guest mix series. It took us a little less than 2 years to reach this milestone with our fairly small magazine. It’s with great pride we can announce Brussels-based Felix Cage as our 100th guest.
For us, this is a milestone and great achievement in promoting emerging and established talents from all over the world.
Artist background
Dancefloor romance on warm melodies and deep house grooves merging into a flow of sounds filling the room with a unique atmosphere is the unique signature of Felix Cage. A subtle warm-up and an unexpected prime time are what Felix seeks to share with the audience.
Born in Paris, Felix grows up in Moscow. Classical music, Russian pop-rock of the early 90’s as well as the echoes of the European house scene form his musical background. It is later in Belgium that Felix fully embracing the electronic music movement, the European clubbing culture broadens his musical horizons leading to DJing and later to the production of music.
The notable debuts of Felix’s career occur around 2009 with Brussels-based Borderline Corp. collective and the acclaimed Sunday night parties they were holding, back in the days. The first productions and releases follow shortly after.
Signing on Brussels-based Electronical Reeds label opens a new chapter in Felix’s journey. ‘Blizzard‘ EP produced together with his friend Mezza Luna, remixed by Pole Folder and Tokyo Black Star, brings the artist under the lights of a larger underground audience. The solo release, ‘Mascarade‘, follows shortly remixed by Rodriguez Jr. and Nhar. The EP is a major success and storms Beatport and WhatPeoplePlay Top 100 charts. ‘Love Again‘ EP featuring the vocals of South African slam poet Lazarusman follows shortly and is again a success.
Felix continuously experiments but at the same time works on the consistency of his sound while he releases multiple EPs in the 2 years that follow. Electronical Reeds, Parquet Recordings, Manual Music and Spagat Music Berlin host his releases. International support comes from Slam, Rodriguez Jr., Nhar, Affkt, Kellerkind, Sossa, Smash TV and Eelke Kleijn.
Felix remixes Anja Schneider’s ‘Dubmission‘ on Mobilee Records that hits Beatport Deep House Top 100 and was selected as an opener for John Digweed’s ‘Transitions’ 548. His ‘Secret Lover‘ EP on Electronical Reeds with a remix by Madmotormiquel hits Traxsource Deep House Top 100 charts at pre-release and was selected as one of Beatport’s Deep House Secret Weapons at official release.
Among the latest ventures is the collaboration with Sascha Cawa and Lazarusman resulting in ‘Mirage’ released on Katermukke and a remix for ‘Treading Water‘ by Shades Of Gray both hitting charts and lifting dust at Burning Man we were told.
