MIXHELL IS IGGOR CAVALERA AND LAIMA LEYTON.
Iggor is a well know drummer which founded, in the 80's, the biggest Brazilian metal band, Sepultura.

Laima is a multi media artist and music producer.

They've met in 2004 and fell in love. Love for each other was surrounded by their love for music.

They have been Djing and producing music together since 2005.

In 2007 they started to perform live and toured with many amazing artists.

They have five children.

In 2013 they moved from Sao Paulo, Brazil to London, UK.

In 2016 Iggor and Laima took part in Soulwax's “Transient Program for Drums and Machinery”.

They've released music in many different labels such as Kitsuné, Boys Noize Records, Sunday Best and other but then decided to run Delayed Records, a label where they are free to experiment.

They are also involved other projects such as Petbrick, Cavalera Conspiracy, Laima Home and In Place of War.

A short bio would say…

… from the concrete jungle of Sao Paulo husband and wife blend techno, acid, rock and industrial in a hell of a mix...

At a time when the prevalent feeling was that Rock and Metal were boring and nothing new was being done, Iggor Cavalera dived headfirst into electronic music and experimented with it so much that Mixhell was born.

The same feeling that drove Iggor Cavalera to start Djing back in 2004 has risen again, and the force is strong.

Since its initial conception, Mixhell have produced their own music, travelled around the globe and grown from a husband and wife DJ duo to a three piece full on live band.

After releasing their first album “Spaces”, it was time to experiment again. The paths that electronic music had taken in the last decade had been exhausted, culminating on the explosion of commercial EDM where champagne bottles and selfies appear to be more important than music. Iggor reflected on what he loved most about electronic music and went back through the annuls and knuckled down on some research.

Back in the studio as a duo, the beats from acid house, techno and industrial grabbed Mixhell's attention due to their simplicity and effectiveness.

Multi machines working simultaneously to compose, just as a band composes a track. What if these tracks were played live, in a hybrid format, where the listener really has to think about what is acoustic and what is electronic? What if the Rock energy of old could be incorporated into the electronic drums of new? That's Mixhell's next level, add heavy to it, more "hell", more Mixhell."

Utilising his know-how and sheer percussive ability means that Iggor's live drum sets are complimentary to the music and give an otherwise standard dance track, that extra kick to really make it stick out in the minds of the crowd.

Based in London since 2013, Mixhell have been much more productive, have their own studio and have collaborated consistently with the likes of Joe Goddard and Mutado Pintado.

When rock turned into “bubble gum” music, when EDM sounded too shallow, Mixhell continued their research - reviving and recreating what they loved in each style. Let there be house, let there be techno, let there be rock, in the end what really matters is the MUSIC.
