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, Iggor 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.

The Ferret | Preston
Doors 7PM
Preston's Electronic Music Open Mic (EMOM) returns to The Ferret this Tuesday 28th Jan.
Slots are up to 20 minutes. Some pre-booked slots have gone but we do have a few left - so email emompreston@gmail.com to grab one. Additional walk-in slots will be available on the night. First come first served.
This is an open stage night for electronic and experimental musicians, aimed at giving local artists a supportive space in which to play live and experiment. Open to all forms of electronic/experimental music including: ambient, chiptune, drone, drum & bass, dub, electronica, electropop, experimental hip-hop, field recordings, glitch, house, industrial, looping, noise, soundscape, synthwave, techno, trance & more!
Get out of your home studio or bedroom, and come out to a fun, supportive night with other enthusiastic tech heads, dabblers and music fans. You don’t need to be an established artist with a full repertoire. This is for anyone who wants to try their hand at playing live in a safe, motivating environment.
Computers, digital boxes, DJ controllers, drum machines, gadgets, groove boxes, keyboard synths, loop stations, modular synths, phone apps, samplers, sequencers… and everything in between. All welcome!
Come out and meet other music makers, producers and creative types from all walks of music making. There should be plenty of time to talk gear, production techniques and a whole range of inspiring ideas.
The event will run from roughly 7pm-11.00pm with wiggle room depending on interest.
Slots are up to 20 minutes. Some pre-booked slots have gone but we do have a few left - so email emompreston@gmail.com to grab one. Additional walk-in slots will be available on the night. First come first served.
Take to The Ferret stage with full live-music PA & sound engineer. We will have a table for you to setup on, and another one to the side, for the next performer to prep their gear. In order for the event to run smoothly, we ask that you prepare a mono or stereo mix of your setup before handing your outputs over to us; we will not be able to mix your outputs for you in the given time. Vocal mics & mic stands available.
Sorry - no acoustic guitars – unless they are being used to generate soundscapes or some other style of music in keeping with the night (e.g. through pedals, FX units etc.)
Additionally, feel free to bring a USB stick containing visuals you'd like to be projected during your set.
Entrance is FREE for both performers and spectators, so gather your friends and fellow electronic music enthusiasts to join us for an incredible night of creativity and musical exploration!
