Just a few days ago, on July 2nd, it would have been the birthday of Coco, visionary artist, anti-músico, productor, cineasta, fotógrafo — and one half of the profoundly influential Silvania alongside Mario.

Coco left us many moons ago, but his spirit continues to resonate through the echoes of underground sound and light. I was reminded of his birthday by Mario, who continues to honour their shared legacy.
Coco and I first connected in the early 2000s through our shared love of experimental and electronic music — that wild, uncharted space where noise, emotion, and the unknown all collide. We shared many nights clubbing in Madrid, and just as many afterparties filled with laughter, sound, and surreal detours into the morning light.
What made Coco special was his vision. He got it. He saw the strange intensity in my V/Vm work and supported it without hesitation. He was one of the first to champion what I was doing, and thanks to his belief, I had the chance to perform at major events including Benicàssim.
One of those nights as Animal was particularly memorable — I was on the lineup alongside Pita Rehberg and spent hours backstage with the MEGO crew. Those were moments when scenes blurred and ideas flowed without boundaries.
This post is twofold — To say Happy Heavenly Birthday, Coco — and to say thank you for your belief, your instinct, your art, and your friendship.
I’ll drop a link below to one of the beautiful tracks — a piece that still shimmers from Silvania.
