MNMT 71: Mikkel Metal

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” -Plato- For this week we wanted to stir things up a bit by stepping out of our comfort zone. We love Techno, but most important we love music! Our guest for this week is Mikke Metal, a Copenhagen based musician known for numerous releases on Echocord and Kompakt. Both respectable labels in the electronic music scene. According to Mikkel, his approach for this mix was to go for tracks that are patient, eclectic, deep, cool and atmospheric rather than dancy stuff. So the result is a quite diverse selection of tracks. “I started out, half by laziness, not wanting to beatmix, and then decided to make it principle not to beatmix and respect the original tempo of the tracks. Instead I allowed myself to work with effects etc, in order to focus on tonal instead of rhythmical transitions” http://www.mikkelmetal.dk/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/mikkel-metal/138561626163355 Artwork: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo https://www.flickr.com/photos/kurtbudiarto/7271402084/in/photostream/
