Wed, 30 Nov 2011  /  Post a commentThe 30th installment of the Field Recording series is mixed by @Mikkel Metal. The Danish artist, who has been releasing five full-length albums and multiple EPs over the course of twelve years, crafted an excellent and exclusive piece of art for the series.
Mikkel Metal’s own words on the mix: ‘’Very slow deep and quite eclectic. I deliberately chose to mix in and out of genres, no beatmixing at all, and mix between beat and no beat.’’

Mikkel’s musical career started as a guitarist in various noise-rock bands but around ‘99 Mikkel changed focus towards electronic genres like click’n'cuts, IDM, techno and dub, and started releasing under the “Mikkel Metal” moniker. Primarily he releases on Danish label Echocord and German label Kompakt. The former with a dubby, grainy sound, the latter focusing on a more melodic and 4/4-based sound.
