Kartell

Since first breaking through in 2012, French producer and DJ Kartell has built a reputation for creating distinctive electronic music, dripping in warmth, soul and melancholia. Born in Tours, in the Loire Valley, Kartell first fell in love with music through his dad’s extensive soul, disco and early house collection which was constantly on rotation in the family home. Soon after moving to Paris in his early 20s, Kartell met Cézaire who introduced him to the city’s dynamic club scene and making Kartell’s Riviera EP the first release on his Roche Musique label when he launched the imprint in 2012. Kartell’s talent for low BPM, groove infused, productions, caught widespread attention and fitted in perfectly with a resurgent house and disco scene. In 2021, Kartell released the Daybreak EP, exhibiting a more expansive and spacious sound and featuring collaborations with SG Lewis, Qendresa and Che Lingo. Kartell now released his first full-length album with a new found energy and focus: EVERYTHING IS HERE. EVERYTHING IS HERE takes listeners on a cosmic journey, drawing inspiration from the ethereal realms of prog rock and the dreamy allure of psychedelia. Combining these influences with the accessibility of French electronic music and the groove of R&B and disco, Kartell crafts a mesmerizing experience that blends nostalgia with a modern edge including features from Tkay Maidza, Barney Bones, Kurtis Wells, Poté, Magi Merlin and The Code.
