---

Man does today’s feature feel like a blast from the past on multiple fronts. On our latest visit to Physical Presents we are checking out “Right On Time”, the latest from Felix Cartal and Tegan and Sara Felix Cartal has cemented his place as a leading figure in electronic music, renowned for his genre-spanning collaborations with artists like Kaskade, R3HAB, and Gallant, as well as official remixes for stars such as Selena Gomez and Diplo. Over five studio albums, including his latest, *Into Sunsets*, Felix has showcased his knack for combining emotional depth with danceable energy, earning multiple Canadian platinum certifications. His achievements include two Juno Awards for Best Dance Recording—”Love Me” featuring Lights and “Need Your Love” featuring Karen Harding—highlighting his impact on the global dance music scene.

On the flip side, Tegan and Sara have spent over 20 years blending music, storytelling, and activism, amassing a discography of 10 albums and selling over a million records. Their creative empire extends to TV and literature, with projects like the acclaimed memoir-based series *High School* and their middle-grade graphic novel series *Tegan & Sara: Junior High*. In addition to accolades like JUNO and GLAAD Awards, they’ve founded the Tegan and Sara Foundation to support LGBTQ+ health and representation. With their authentic artistry and advocacy, the duo continues to inspire audiences across multiple platforms.

“It’s always a bit daunting working with artists you look up to. Tegan and Sara are artists that have such a decorated career of accomplishments and longevity that it stressed me out almost to the point where it was hard to finish the song. They said, ‘Let’s just make it a big anthem,’ and I loved the simplicity of that. It only took about 30 versions for me to get it right, but I took my time because I wanted us all to love it. They’ve been featuring on dance music because of their love of the genre way before everyone else was doing it. And I just think that’s the coolest thing. It’s so authentic. I’m honored to work with people I respect and am humbled that they were down to make this song. Hope you enjoy.” – Felix Cartal

“Felix and I met a half dozen times over coffee this last year, to discuss music, and all the things that inspire us to create it. We decided to collaborate on something. I told him I was very inspired by 90s dance music growing up, and may have sang ‘Rhythm Is A Dancer‘ a few dozen times in the studio to see if it sparked anything. It did. Lyrically, I wanted to push the listener into another time, maybe even another world. It’s been a few years (two decades) since I’ve danced all night, but what I remember most of my time in the club was a euphoric freedom. Surrounded by strangers, I lost all my inhibition and let the music transport me somewhere else. As teenagers, Sara and I were able to shrug off any insecurity or anxiety at raves, but there, we also found community and people like us. While we didn’t become dance artists or DJs, there is no doubt our time in the electronic music scene in Calgary in the 90s inspired us to become artists in adulthood. The lyrics, ‘You’re like a fever burning in my mind, the hotter it gets, the more I leave behind,” summed up the whole song for me. Be it a person, a perfect night, an unforgettable moment, or a great song, when something feels right, it can take you anywhere.” – Tegan of Tegan and Sara

Felix Cartal and Tegan and Sara have joined forces for “Right On Time,” a feel-good dance track that blends 90s dance vibes with a fresh, modern energy. Tegan and Sara, no strangers to the electronic music world after working with Tiësto and David Guetta in the past, bring their signature harmonies and heartfelt lyrics to the track. Felix’s upbeat production adds the perfect layer of festival-ready energy, creating a song that feels equally at home on the dancefloor or blasting through your car speakers.

To celebrate, Felix surprised fans with a pop-up party in Vancouver, where he performed “Right On Time” live with Tegan and Sara. The collaboration has been a labor of love for both artists, with Felix calling it a dream project and Tegan and Sara praising his ability to create music that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking. With Felix gearing up for a North American tour in Spring 2025, this track feels like the perfect kickoff for what’s next.
