FM El Protoolio texted it to the group chat not five minutes ago.

Fuck.

Holy shit, I'm sorry to hear this.

Steve, you did so many good things for people that you knew well, let alone barely knew. I owe you so much for the things you did for me and my friends as we made music together. You will live forever in so many ways, but especially in the hearts of those you personally touched.

I was reflecting on Steve after hearing the news, and I feel like this was a really important thought (probably summed up better than I could)

Holy fuck.

RIP

I don't feel geographically local enough to the scene to sound the horn on this, but we're going to make something to honour him, I'm sure, and it will be a great big slab of love.

This is breathtakingly awful.

Love to all who were close to him. I barely got to know him and still I feel sick and robbed of a friend and a gigantic presence in my life and of years and years of art and laughter and learning from him. He built a thing and created a space and allowed for the universe’s strings to get pulled in ways that completely changed the course of my life.

Requiescat e grazie.

I don't know what else to say besides "well... shit, that sucks."

My thoughts as well. When the heartbreak settles this community should do what we’ve always done and get together and make something special happen to commemorate someone that was perfectly described as a good man.

Totally shocked and saddened. So many greats are leaving us with a world of app-driven mediocrity. Real sad to hear this news.
