Much for KAPTN not yet known, except that he comes from LA, likes to wear beachwear (and small dogs through the area) and called himself the "white Tyrese" - which ever it should be clear that it's instantaneous triumph as with a lot of humor. The casual video for his single "Ricky Ricardo" already recorded more than 100,000 views on YouTube and is currently in the process to advance to the final # SongOfTheSummer. In the video Kaptn transports the characters from the Fifties sitcom "I Love Lucy" the here and now - and caught his Lucy in how strange it is ...

"Kinda like Macklemore, a bit like Far East Movement, in his sound still resonates with something that you can hardly put into words - but this mix is fucking hot, that's for sure, "MTV Buzzworthy ruled on the single.
Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the most successful summer hits of 2013 must be KAPTN with the superb hit Ricky Ricardo. It is such a superb track packed with all the right elements to drive the radio audience crazy and make them press play again and again on the YouTube video. Now its time for the jocks out there to get their chance and play the anthem in their own dj sets and feel like being Ricky Ricardo themselves. Deorro remix is a cool electro house version that moves on the Laidback Luke pathway. Bouncy beats and distorted playful basslines plus great application of the vocals on the explicit version. Papercha$er remix is full on epic prog house make over that is packed with euphoric synths and raw booming vavooming basslines to make a lot of noise on the dancefloor. Lastly Victor Niglio remix is a very different style version as it combines electro house with indie dance and even dubstep elements. It starts all melodic and groovy and after the breakdown lands on a rough and smashing in your face section. Top version with so much happening to it so the crowd will be occupied with it for long. The package of mixes includes explicit and instrumental versions so there is always room for choice. Lovable single.
