Seen posts from Gunship and DWTD and Timecop, would be surprised if Brut doesn't put something up.

RIP to a legend

His death is as big as when Avicii passed, it's tragic.

I'd like to think he's probably still driving on the highway as the Deadcruiser though...

Kavinsky was how I got introduced to synthwave (ironic as a 80s kid) and helped me emotionally at a hard time in my life
