Fucking MIXHELL! They dropped one of my favorite mixes of the year a few months ago called ‘Electro Banger Ghetto Trash’ (get it here!). And now Iggor hit us off with more hottness.
In case you forgot: Mixhell is the production duo of Igor “Iggor” Cavalera, famed ex-drummer (and founding member) of Brazillian Death Metal band Sepultura and his wife Laima Leyton.
Get ‘em? That is, if you didn’t already grab stuff from our homies at Stockholm Beat Connection or IHeartComix. Great tracks get around quicker than a rebounding hottie.
Mixhell is currently on tour in Europe supporting Soulwax on their album record-release tour. View the tour dates and stream more music on Mixhell’s MySpace.
Igor “Iggor” Cavalera, famed ex-drummer (and founding member) of Brazillian Death Metal band Sepultura and his wife/producer Laima Leyton are Mixhell.
Iggor left Sepultura in June of 2006 and took on another life as a Electronic Music DJ and producer. So, can one of the best drummers in the world bang out a electro beat on an MPC? Fuck yes! Get a load of these Mixhell produced MSTRKRFT remixes (96kbps):
Mixhell has been getting around in Europe, opening for the some of the most important names in electronic music, like Daft Punk, Soulwax and Simian Mobile Disco.
We’d first heard of Mixhell from our boys at Stochholm Beat Connection, who have been giving Mixhell a hell of a push and getting some love in return. Mixhell gave SBC an exclusive mix back in May, but I’m passing it along—because no really good mixtape stays unduplicated! Here is the stolen goods (oh, what a gulity pleasure!); Enjoy Mixhell’s ‘Electro Banger Ghetto Thrash’ mix.
