Felix Cartal & Tegan and Sara Team Up For New Single ‘Right On Time’

Time to dance! Multi-platinum Canadian DJ and Producer Felix Cartal teams up with Grammy-nominated duo Tegan and Sara to deliver Right On Time, a dynamic dance track that draws influence from 90s dance music but adds a modern flare. 

 

Out now via Physical Presents / Fontana North, Right On Time finds the talented producing beautifully showcasing his signature touch that is seamlessly paired with Tegan and Sara's velvety and evocative vocals, together making this song a perfect fit for clubs and festivals all around the world. I am particularly fond of the infectious driving beat and how it is intertwined with bright, expansive synths, killer drops and high-energy percussive elements that, combined with Tegan and Sara's enchanting vocals, create an overall blissful, feel-good atmosphere perfect for a night out with friends. All I want to do is close my eyes and surrender to its hypnotic groove.

Speaking about the collaboration, Felix Cartal said,

It's always a bit daunting working with artists you look up to. Tegan and Sara are artists that have such a decorated career of accomplishments and longevity that it stressed me out almost to the point where it was hard to finish the song. They said, 'Let's just make it a big anthem,' and I loved the simplicity of that. It only took about 30 versions for me to get it right, but I took my time because I wanted us all to love it. They've been featuring on dance music because of their love of the genre way before everyone else was doing it. And I just think that's the coolest thing. It's so authentic. I'm honored to work with people I respect and am humbled that they were down to make this song. Hope you enjoy.

Tegan and Sara added,

Felix and I met a half dozen times over coffee this last year, to discuss music, and all the things that inspire us to create it. We decided to collaborate on something. I told him I was very inspired by 90s dance music growing up, and may have sang 'Rhythm Is A Dancer' a few dozen times in the studio to see if it sparked anything. It did. Lyrically, I wanted to push the listener into another time, maybe even another world. It's been a few years (two decades) since I've danced all night, but what I remember most of my time in the club was a euphoric freedom. Surrounded by strangers, I lost all my inhibition and let the music transport me somewhere else. As teenagers, Sara and I were able to shrug off any insecurity or anxiety at raves, but there, we also found community and people like us. While we didn't become dance artists or DJs, there is no doubt our time in the electronic music scene in Calgary in the 90s inspired us to become artists in adulthood. The lyrics, 'You're like a fever burning in my mind, the hotter it gets, the more I leave behind," summed up the whole song for me. Be it a person, a perfect night, an unforgettable moment, or a great song, when something feels right, it can take you anywhere.
