This week’s Music Video is from a Canadian DJ and producer Felix Cartal, who hasn’t made a big splash in the States. But give him time. The video is for “The Life,” a cut from his 2021 release “Expensive Sounds for Nice People” (a.k.a. best album title ever.) The visuals are pretty straightforward, featuring the quirkily handsome DJ jogging through what looks like a Canadian forest wearing multi-colored sweat wear. It’s a simple video that matches the melancholic song well. And it’s a great example of doing a lot with very little.
I came across the video while exercising at my smelly and crowded gym here in L.A. Watching the cute Felix run through beautiful green scenery made me want to move to Canada. And the inspiration to finish my workout that morning. If you enjoy this song, the rest of the album is a great listen if you’re a fan of EDM.
