Kappy from Italy   KAPPY FROM ITALY Fri, January 08, 2010   Claudio Cappello aka "Kappy" is a producer/remixer from Torino (Italy). With his remixes ending up among the top entries more than once, participating in remix contests definitely increased Claudio's visibility on the web.

Kappy was not only selected as one of the top-5 remixers in both our Dead Confederate remix competition and the remix contest we had with Empire State Human (Featuring Kraftwerk's Wolfgang Flür), but also ended high in the ranks with his Kid Conga and Pon De Floor remixes at other contests.
