Taelor Deitcher, (better known by his stage name Felix Cartal) is a Canadian DJ and EDM producer. He released his first EP Skeleton in 2009 once he signed with Dim Mak Records. Since then he has gone on to release two full-length albums, 2010's Popular Music and 2012's Different Faces and tour around the world with Wolfgang Gartner, MSTRKRFT, and Bloody Beetroots. Deitcher set the trend of collaborating with unpredictable vocalists in the dance scene such as Sebastien Grainger of Death from Above 1979, Maja Ivarsson of The Sounds and Johnny Whitney of The Blood Brothers.
In 2000, Deitcher attended New Westminster Secondary School. He began playing bass in the punk and hardcore scene with a band called Dysfunctional, named after a sticker they had found. Their musical style were inspired from groups such as Refused, NOFX and Anti-Flag. They had developed a small fan-base in Northern Vancouver and performed at venues before reforming into a more progressive, The Mars Volta/Pink Floyd-inspired group named Orange Orange, which broke up in 2006.
Following the group's disintegration, Deitcher experimented with music production software such as Reason and Cubase. Influenced by the club nights and parties with local DJs, Deitcher acknowledged the similarity of the punk and EDM scenes which prompted him to get involve into the EDM scene.
Deitcher enrolled at the University of British Columbia where he majored in English. He moved to Scotland for a semester at Glasgow University.
In December 2006, he emerged on the international blog scene alongside MSTRKRFT with original songs such as "Moss vs. Tree" and "Parisienne".
