The Song:
Just in time to turn up for the holidays, LA producer and frequent TDE collaborator Felix Snow is dropping “Touch That” with rapper Dominique Young Unique. The thumping track, which premiered on The FADER, impresses with sharp snares, synths, and booming kicks. “I fucking fell in love with it off the bat,” Felix Snow explained. “Dominique’s got such a raw venom when she raps it’s infectious. Had to flip this one out…”
Known for his glimmering work with SZA and singer-songwriter Kiiara, Felix Snow has a knack for finding and working with incredible talent. On his debut single “Slow,” he recruited the vocal talents of a relatively unknown 16-year-old Madi, turning the track into what The FADER called a “tightly wound anthem about taking it slow… fizzes with big drops and pitch-shifted choruses.” Hailing from the West Coast via Connecticut, Felix Snow is a DJ, producer, and writer ready to make waves in the new year. Fans can expect more heat to drop in 2016 as he’s been crafting a solo project which will be released through his own independent label, EFFESS Records.

Felix Snow Background:
“So different. So original.” Fingers twisted repping the West Coast and donning trucker hats, DJ, producer and writer, Felix Snow is looking to shake things up one track at a time. While wearing funky glasses and posting outlandish memes for the 90’s kid in everyone, Felix has remixed major label artists from Tinashe, Bebe Rexha, and Bad Suns, to delving into original cuts with everyone from Mr. Hudson and Jess Glynne to Leona Lewis and Christina Aguilera. Though young, he is fast becoming the producer to watch with a portfolio as diverse as his musical influences – extending the spectrum from Genesis to Fleetwood Mac to Jersey Club.
The LA transplant originally from Connecticut graduated from the prestigious Clive Davis Music Program at New York University. Upon his arrival to Los Angeles, the Warner Chappell publishing signee invented a new sound with first lady of TDE, Sza, where he created the evocative yet beautiful stylings of “Pray”, “Ice Moon”, and “Castles”for her critically acclaimed EP “S”. When talking about her work with the Felix, the songstress states, “He’s completely not the textbook producer.” Aside from breaking the rules with your favorite artists and making sure his Tamagachi and Giga Pet stay alive, Felix has been crafting a repertoire for a solo project he’s releasing through his own independent label, EFFESS Records. The project slated for release next year.
