I found this news shocking and upsetting - he was a big presence on the electronic music forums I used to frequent in the 00s and would often encounter him at London gigs and at Sonar back in the day when it was good. I knew he was young, but not that young. He must have been barely out of school when he was posting on bulletin board such as No Future and Little Detroit. Tis like losing an Urbanite. Adios Jack, gone far too soon.

heard him play out once....likewise had no idea so young...concussion killed him supposedly? Someone I was at school with fell off the back of a banana boat beach thing on holiday, hit his head on the sea....seemed fine....didn't wake up the next day.... head injuries are a serious thing

Oh shit. That’s really sad. Thought he was one of us oldies.
