Mixhell (Boys Noize rec / Br) – Live or DJ set
Krautraut electro clash
MixHell, the Brazilian electro outfit started by Iggor Cavalera — the former drummer in Legendary metal muthas Sepultura — his wife Laima Leyton, moved from Sao Paulo to London last Winter to answer the large amount of request they got from the release of their first album last June. Signed to Boys Noize Records, 'Space' sees them explore a more organic live electro sound, aided in no small part by the expert live bass guitar-playing of former studio cohort Max Blum, who has now become a full member of the live act. The blend of rolling punk funk, detached Kittin-esque electro/techno, raw clattering Soulwax riddims, krautrock motorik sensibilities and languid space-age phuture electro-funk makes this a body of work to seek out and treasure. Mixed by glistening techno don Gui Boratto, a fellow Brazilian ), the 'Space' album and accompanying live shows are sure to elevate MixHell into the premier league of electronic acts.
“With the new live performance, while Max plays bass and Laima does synths and vocals, I drum the full set — going from the acoustic drums to the pads and the Roland 909.” The presence of Iggor, still a widely-known character in international rawwk circles, has drawn many Sepultura fans to MixHell shows — and converted a fair few to the wonders of electronic music. “A lot of those fans who came to see what I am doing are already open-minded to come to a club, and therefore they became electronic fans,” says Iggor. “It's quite interesting, as nowadays the metal crowd is really looking for new stuff.”
Supported by James Murphy, Erol Alkan, Soulwax, Boys Noize, DJ Hell, Justice, Crookers to name a few.
