IKKI

Coming from the very heart of Spain is a sound which isn't too dissimilar from the Beetroots recognizable synth laden style, however this sound has a heart of pure metal. This is the sound of IKKI. IKKIs calling in life has thus far to produce remixes of fairly famous heavy metal songs. The sound IKKI is producing is a testament to how, I think, electro can seemingly progress through all genres of music and possibly has the largest collection of sub-genres which can only be paralleled to the rock/metal scene.

IKKI's remixes include the likes of Slayer, Metallica, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Jimi Hendrix and even Stevie Wonder. According to the man himself he has upcoming Slipknot, System of a Down, Megadeth and more Metallica remixes on the way. I am particularly looking forward to his Megadeth and Slipknot remixes and I'll be sure to post them as soon as they are available.

IKKI began in September of 2008, has a residency in Madrid (soundsick) and has already played festivals with the likes of the aforementioned Bloody Beetroots and an upcoming date with Redial. Keep an eye on this guy as he will no doubt be a name that will be appearing on the "scene" in the very near future.
