Solomun’s label welcomes Fel C’s latest EP, “Berlin Plex,” a lively blend of techno and indie dance that’s making waves in the electronic music scene.
Brazilian DJ Fel C‘s new EP, “Berlin Plex,” is garnering attention in the electronic music world with its debut on Solomun’s Diynamic label, reaching impressive chart positions in its first week. The Berlin Plex EP has climbed to the Top 4 in Melodic House & Techno and the Top 18 in Beatport’s overall sales ranking, marking a significant milestone in Fel C’s career.
A robust educational background underpins Fel C’s journey in music. He studied Music Production and Sound Design at Point Blank London and Phonographic Production at Centro Universitário Belas Artes de São Paulo. Reflecting on his education, Fel C says, “In London, I immersed myself in one of the epicentres of the electronic scene. In São Paulo, I delved into music theory and history, which have been fundamental to my creative process. I feel that I am not just a ‘beat maker,’ but a musician.”
Throughout his career, Fel C has performed at iconic venues such as D-Edge in Brazil, Ministry of Sound and EGG in the UK, and Bora Bora Beach Club in Ibiza. Yet, one of his most memorable performances was at FOMO in Baku, Azerbaijan. “The club is surreal, the crowd was enthusiastic and engaged, and the city was charming. It’s a place I want to return to and recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch club experience,” he recalls.
“Berlin Plex” is an EP showcasing Fel C’s ability to blend various techno and indie dance elements across its four tracks. The opening track, “Delta,” created in collaboration with ID ID., is a rollercoaster of sounds. “The track began with funk carioca percussion samples and a female vocal. I then crafted the dancefloor vibe I love, a mix of Electro and Indie Dance, and ID ID. added the final touch,” explains Fel C.
The title track, “Berlin Plex,” emerged from the inspiration Fel C felt after seeing Solomun play “Delta.” “Seeing your idol play your music is incredibly motivating. In one studio session, ‘Berlin Plex‘ came together out of a pure desire to produce more tracks for Solomun to play,” he shares.
“Diferent Style,” a collaboration with Cafius, takes on a more melancholic tone, blending Indie Dance with ragga vocals. “Cafius saw my story of Solomun playing ‘Delta,’ loved it, and asked if I was up for creating a new track in that style. ‘Different Style’ came together quickly,” says Fel C.
The final track on the EP, “Whispers,” again featuring ID ID, showcases Fel C‘s vocals over an acid techno beat. “This track started with the vocal idea, which I recorded first. I then built a dancefloor-focused sound around it and sent it to ID ID, who enhanced it further with the label’s signature style,” he explains.
Fel C values the importance of collaboration in his creative process. “I seek out artists who bring something different to my sound or whose work I greatly admire. Collaborations are always a learning experience and a chance to create something unique and special,” he says.
Discussing his musical evolution, Fel C notes that his style is constantly evolving. “Every track I listen to and fall in love with influences my future productions in some way. This constant change is what keeps me motivated and eager to learn. Today, I identify with the Indie Dance genre because it encompasses such a wide range of sounds.”
As for trends in electronic music, Fel C observes a shift towards faster tempos, with euro trance and electro influences making a strong comeback. “The 90s are back in fashion and music. I think my EP with Diynamic reflects this trend well,” he comments.
Looking ahead, Fel C has ambitious plans. “I have a strong desire to play in the middle of a forest, something intimate and connected with nature. I’m also busy in the studio, working on more collaborations with ID ID and Cafius.”
Fel C continues to innovate and contribute to the electronic music scene, promising more dynamic productions and memorable performances in the future.
