Felix Cartal’s production setup.

Felix Cartal’s (myspace) got a blog happening to detail his travels and progress on his forthcoming EP and LP. I was hoping he’d do a post on his setup and he has delivered, as the picture above illustrates. Refreshingly simple, following the trend of ‘new school’ producers to eschew analogue gear (for the most part) and reduce hardware for ease of travel. A full list of his gear includes:

• M-Box2 Mini
• M-Audio KeyRig 49
• MicroKorg
• MacBook
• Reason 3.0
• ProTools 7.0 LE
• Evolution UC-33 Controller (not shown)
• M-Box Micro (not shown)

Notably, he’s running with no monitors to speak of, just working off headphones. Cool. And he’s got one of those lamps which I electrocuted myself on a few years back (don’t grab both metal stems at once). Credit to Discodust for the find.

Felix Cartal @ Roxanne, 22 Feb.

This looks like it’s going to be a massive, not-to-be-missed night at Roxanne. Featuring Felix Cartal (myspace), Damn Arms DJs, Miami Horror (fresh from Euro-tour) and Tranterco plus a whole bunch more, a banging night will no doubt be had.
