:( this is sad to hear. Kavinsky probably did more initially for Synthwave than any other artist

Aaaw shit. The name just clicked. You are indeed correct.

Btw you should remove ?si=xxx and ?is=xxx from links. They use them to track who shares what and where

Heartbreaking, watershed synthwave artist, probably my favorite electronic period. I'll be humming nightcaller all day now.

I hope he wasn't in pain. Wishing the best for the family.
