LEYO has signed with Cumac Bookings for live music and touring representation across Portugal, Spain, and Latin America, with agent Siddharta Benitez leading the deal. Meanwhile continues to represent the project for the rest of the world.
LEYO began as a personal detour into deep house, born from a fascination with the original 90s sound of Chicago house and disco. Rather than lean on samples, the project is built around a live band setup, with real instruments driving both the productions and the DJ sets. About 90 percent of each performance is unreleased original material, a rarity for a touring live act.
Behind LEYO is Leondert Roelandschap, the Amersfoort-born Dutch artist better known to a wider audience as Bizzey, a founding member of Yellow Claw who left the trio in 2016 to build a solo hip-hop career.
LEYO’s recorded catalogue lives on Cécille Records. After debuting with the Hello LP in 2024 and returning with the Circus EP in 2025, the project released its Fuego LP in May 2026, an eleven-track set featuring Thierry Ganz, Native., and 3DDY.
The signing adds to a busy year for Cumac Bookings’ electronic roster. The Galicia-based agency brought on Colombian-Spanish techno duo LEVS for worldwide representation and added London DJ Shae Reid to its books this June.
The territory-specific structure of LEYO’s deal also echoes Analog Agency’s expansion of Pole Position from a regional Spain-and-Latin-America arrangement into full worldwide rights, part of a broader reshuffling of territory-based representation across European electronic music.
For Cumac, landing LEYO strengthens its footprint in two of house music’s most active touring markets, at a moment when Latin America’s electronic scene keeps growing.
Takeaways
This deal is a case study in deliberately splitting representation rather than assigning everything to a single firm. Cumac gets the territories where its relationships run deepest (Iberia and Latin America), while Meanwhile holds the rest, which points to a routing strategy built on regional strength rather than a full agency switch.
It’s also a signal that LEYO isn’t a side hustle. Whoever’s behind an alias, treating it like its own brand (its own label home, its own sound, its own dedicated regional team) tends to mean real long-term investment, not a one-off project.
For Cumac, this is one more electronic signing in a packed year. Stacking LEYO’s live-band, mostly-original sets alongside LEVS and Shae Reid suggests the agency is deliberately building a roster around artists known for original production, not just DJ sets built from other people’s records.
Will Cumac’s relationships in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America translate into festival slots in those markets for LEYO? Could LEYO’s all-original, mostly-live sets carve out a niche distinct from typical festival DJ bookings in deep house?
