The Ferret proudly presents the legendary percussionist Iggor Cavalera, who will be performing electronic music from the repertoire of his solo discography inspired by the varied sub genres of avant-garde, drone, industrial & harsh noise.

Iggor Cavalera is a Brazilian musician. Since 2004, Iggor has been producing electronic music. 

Along with older brother Max Cavalera, he is a founding member of the Brazilian thrash metal band Sepultura. Iggor is now the drummer for Cavalera Conspiracy, Soulwax, Petbrick and other projects. Cavalera is one half of the DJ duo Mixhell, an electronic music project he founded with his wife, Laima Leyton, in 2006.

Iggor started playing drums at a very young age. In the first albums, his drumming was chaotic, following the thrash norms of the '80s. However, his innovative style in the album Chaos A.D. brought tribal elements into the songs. Cavalera has been widely recognised as a notoriously hard-hitting heavy drummer throughout his career. Although drumming has been his main activity since the ’80s, Iggor has always experimented with electronic instruments such as drum machines and synthesisers. He is also a music producer and experimental artist.

As Mixhell, he has toured the globe, performing in festivals such as Glastonbury, Bestival, and Reading. In 2013, Iggor moved to London with his family and, in 2016, joined the Belgian band Soulwax, recording drums for their album “From Deewee” and touring as part of “Transient Program for Drums and Machinery.” Soon after, he founded “Petbrick” with Wayne Adams - a project that involved melting noise and crushing electronics over grinding drumming.

In 2017, Iggor started building his personal studio with Laima by collecting gear and synthesisers and producing their own music, remixes, and soundtracks as well as collaborating with other artists. Around 2019, he started collecting modular synthesisers to compose ethereal, atmospheric, experimental drone music, to which he added rhythm through drum machines and live drums.

Iggor has been performing live with analogue modular gear, drum pads and visuals for intimate crowds at experimental festivals such as Dio Drone (Florence) and clubs such as Cafe Oto and Iklectik (London). His latest releases include “Aural Manifestations” on Damian Records in America and Deepthroat Records in Europe and “Alucinações Sônicas” on Hospital Productions.

And now he visits The Ferret for an amazingly intimate analogue modular show.
