It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of one of our most respected friends, colleagues and artists: Cocó Ciëlo. Who was found dead in his Madrid apartment on the morning of Sunday. According to the news item published in the Spanish media, Cocó was slashed to death with a knife, no other details are mentioned. Cocó was half of the techno pop duo Ciëlo and also was member of Silvania one of Latinamerica's most pioneering shoegaze and techno acts. Alongside his musical partner Mario, both were responsible for some of the most memorable and cutting edge music to emerge from Spain in the last two decades. We will miss him dearly.
