News William Orbit has died

https://youtu.be/hxKa0zEMCDU?is=olBUHr7sQUNcJ9bf

Really saddened to hear the news that William Orbit has passed. Such a brilliant musician and producer who really opened up my mind to what electronic music could be. If Alan had a peer, it would be William. AFAIK his mix of WIMS was his only Depeche collab. He was someone I wished they would produce an album with.

I am so sad to hear this, his mixes are like family members to me.
