    Fuck I had a period (granted it was short) where I only listened to his music. Nightfall was a great song and Outrun was a great album. Didn’t realize he was 50 though. Thought he was younger

    Devastated.

    His album Reborn got me through some tough times and reducing him to DJ in the article title downplays the effect he had on other musicians.

    Wildly talented producer.

    Sombr’s excellent 12 to 12 reeks of Kavinsky and I think of him every time I hear that song. So much so I had to check the production credits when I first heard it.

      Same. Outrun was a landmark synthwave album that I absolutely wore out. And then years later he comes out with Reborn and I wore that one out. It was so underappreciated. It really seemlessly merged pop and synthwave. Zenith is one of my favorite songs. This really sucks to hear about.
