Mr. Miyagi: ‘Pick Your Poison (Felix Cartal Remix)’

mrmiyagi Mr. Miyagi: Pick Your Poison (Felix Cartal Remix)

Vancouver’s finest and Ableton-style party wrecker, Felix Cartal, has remixed Sweden’s electro “it” kids, Mr. Miyagi. Miyagi X Felix?! The pairs’ similar bang-it-out styles didn’t cancel out in tandem, instead it just became exponential. BANG IT OUT. All caps.


MP3: Mr Miyagi - Pick Your Poison (Felix Cartal Remix)

I’d say Felix Cartal’s signature sound is “teeth-grinding foot-stomping basslines and nutso melodies that glaze a ruff beat like petroleum jelly on toast”—but “electro”, “techno”, or “house” will also do just fine.

Felix Cartal will be playing dates in the US through April, as part of the Scion Tour with friends LA Riots, Bloody Beetroots. Peep any of their MySpace pages for details.

Mr Miyagi are on tour in Europe through May, check Mr Miyagi’s MySpace for dates.

While you’re at it, compare Felix’s work with the original, and click back to this December ‘Toof post where we shared ‘Pick Your Poison’ as remixed by MSTRKRFT’s JFK.

The Canadian duo MSTRKRFT gave the electro world a shock with their last album ‘The Looks‘ which was filled to the brim with hits. Fans have been fiending for something new from their camp ever since. Word on the e-street is that the pair is in currently in the studio working on their follow up album. We eagerly await.

Fortunately MSTRKRFT’s JFK has been blessed the blogoshpere’s ears with two dancefloor ready remixes; one of UK based indie rockers Bloc Party and another of Swedish electro knockers Mr. Miyagi.
