A career spanning over thirty years, ​Felix dreams of going back to basics with his new label, “​an imprint where no rules apply.. you can be as creative as you want to be, as a community. I just got so tired of fighting labels and for my people to shine, it went on deaf ears​”. Born in Detroit, raised in Chicago, Felix has also been inspired by the dance scene that is emerging in Montreal, “​I was very impressed by how people are truly into their art.. it's about your love for the craft not for the money​”.
