Kartell Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

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. After holding down a residency at Paris’ esteemed Social Club, he began to get booked globally as a DJ everywhere from California to South Korea. In 2021, Kartell released the Daybreak EP, exhibiting a more expansive and spacious sound and featuring collaborations with SG Lewis, Qendresa and Che Lingo. Describing the EP as the ‘foundation’ for his new sound and era, Kartell threw himself into producing his first full-length album with a new found energy and focus.
