Fin 2008, je découvre Emancipator dans une compile Trip-hop et là coup de foudre. Les basses bien douces, les voix, le rythme simple mais parfaitement maitrisés et ces belles lignes de guitares m'ont immédiatement conquis. Lors d'un voyage au USA je suis même allé à Portland pour voir son premier show en première partie de Bonobo live (imaginez l'affiche) pour finir à une soirée chez lui en compagnie de ses colloc'.
Puis un 2e album, dans la même lignée, moins surprenant mais des titres comme Rattlesnake m'ont rappelé la qualité de l'artiste.
Et enfin le 3e album qui, sans être mauvais (Minor cause est certainement une de ses meilleurs création) ne sort pas assez des sentiers battus. La construction de l'album est exactement le même que les précédant, cela finit par tourner trop rapidement en rond. Ces voix, qui faisaient le charmes de son premier album finissent par être agaçantes voire vraiment chiantes. Néanmoins tout n'est pas à jeter, la mélodie de saxo de The Way est superbe et Afterglow est assez jolie mais... il y a un petit quelque chose qui ne permet pas à l'album de rester aussi bon que ses prédécesseurs..Source

In 1996, 19 year old George Bratanis released his 1st album with his group Stroggilo Kitrino (The Round Yellow) to much praise, especially for a very characteristic use of the Hammond sound and his own dynamic on-stage appearances.
After Stroggilo Kitrino found success playing venues in Greece and Italy, Bratanis left his group and in 1999, he moved to Spain, where he composed music for theatrical plays and films. While touring Spain, Bratanis played as a session musician for respectable Spanish bands, and though this gave him a good deal of respect, he nevertheless left Spain in 2004 so he may explore his ambitious dreams of becoming a successful solo artist under the helm of Cayetano.
Cayetano made his first releases while still living in Barcelona, the vinyl EPs “Mr. White” and the eponymous “Cayetano”, on the German label "Kinky Lounge". His international recognition came in 2006 when he released the album "Focused", which managed to get extensive airplay on many radio stations and received near universal praise from critics. His following collaboration with Loopa Scava resulted in his sophomore album "Up & Down", released by Etage Noir Records.
Cayetano has since recieved a nomination for the French Annually Prizes "Prix Radiophonie", the 1st Award for film scoring for the Swedish film "Herr Holger" , the honor of having Berlin's Mathematical Expo choose his song "Mathematical Sorrow" as their official theme, numerous remixes from the likes of Parov Stelar, Wax Tailor, and Mod X, as well as licensing his music to a diverse selection of media and not to mention his live appearances were lauded by the likes of WIRE magazine.
His third album, titled "The Big Fall", was released by Etage Noir Records to recognition on international iTunes and SoulSeduction.com charts. “The Big Fall” was Cayetano’s step into a darker, more mature territory, one which Cayetano proudly feels is his most authentic approach to playing his music.
In October 2010, Cayetano signed with Klik Records and subsequently released the album "Back Home" two months later. Four months after the successful release of “Back Home”, he formed the CAYETANO LIVE BAND, a collective of exceptionally talented musicians, whose concerts are more than often sold out.
On September 17th 2012, Cayetano returns with his crowning achievement, the album he is proudest of, ‘’Once Sometime”, on Klik Records’ new sub-label Pale Sound Records.
As James Andrew said:
"Cayetano seems to walk in a road made for him, by him. A unique, colorful road. And he walks really nice".

Musical and poetic duet "Cocoa" with her debut album "always" -
a real gem in the contemporary Russian music. Strange little things (and
otherwise it will not be called), collected in the album are
connection fantastically beautiful poems and constant unexpected game
sounds interwoven into mischievous, intricate melodies, reminiscent of the
childhood dreams, calm unconcern, a good kind of absurd and positive
experiment.
Participants electronic duo "Cocoa" is not accidental conceal his musical
origin. Being created as an experiment, a musical outlet,
entertainment for friends, "Cocoa" - an attempt to make light and beautiful
pop music, not burdened roaring guitars and hard drums. Perhaps the
this is how they are born of the coolest projects: free from the obligations
just for love.
Like many electronic bands, "Cocoa" is betting on female vocals
and rich musical erudition of both authors. Completes the picture good
sound engineering.
First you hear the sweet, rich tone of voice, she sings-weave
amazingly beautiful and whimsical lyrics, Burlesque. Then sings along
light and in a good hit melodies. And then start and pereslushivat
colorful beads to sort songs one by one, noting with surprise that
"Cocoa" in one track can coexist songs of whales and cats
industrial noise and sounds of the city - and all this wealth so unobtrusively
singing fills the space that is monitored only at the level of nuance.
For bright airy layers of sounds, images and associations generated
open and fluid imagination of the author, is a mature professional
work done not only elegant and tasteful, but absolutely original and
100% in the spirit of the times!
