My absolutely favourite from him was this one:

 

 

(This sounds so sad today) :(

This is shocking! He had amazing talent and groundbreaking vision.RIP

 

One of the most iconic electronic tracks:

 

children is the epitome of my memories of childhood dance/techno

 

i still get chills listening to it and i will get more chills listening to it now. wasnt it created to be the last song of his set for the clubbers to mellow out a bit for when they drove home?

RIP :( legend.

So sad! :( A lot younger than I thought he was too!

 

'Children' is a classic. Like in the actual sense of the word. 'One & One' is one of those that people won't probably recognise by name, but if they heard it, they would recognise it and like it, I feel.

 

Such a huge part of the 90's scene! He's one of the reasons why I got into dance/trance! I just wish I was old enough to have been able to dance to it in a club and stuff at the peak of his popularity!

this news has made me really sad. 'children' is one of the best trance / dance tracks to ever grace the world. that piano :wub:

It's awful news, I feel like he's one musician who really made a mark on the music landscape with 'Children' being such a seminal classic and a game-changer.

 

'One & One' and 'Fable' are also excellent (the latter very much in the same vein as 'Children', but mega underrated.

I quite like Fable too.

 

I quite like Fable too.

 

We shouldn't forget about Fable tbh, I prefer both Fable and One & One to Children but all of them are great tracks.

Yeah, I also prefer Fable to Children but even bigger shame that hardly anyone knows his work post-23AM (second album)....

This is such sad news :(

 

I was never a huge fan of One And One but in the last year or so I've really warmed to it. Children remains the one tho <3

I remember when Dot Rotten murdered "Children" back in 2012. What a travesty that was and I'm glad it flopped

Also remember Angel City sampling 'Children' for their Top 3 hit 'Do You Know (I Go Crazy)?

 

Though to be fair it wasn't as bad as Dor Rotten.

Not quite a top 3 hit actually, it peaked at #8. :P

 

The absolute worst was Tyga sampling 'Children' for his own song 'Stimulated'... which was about his relations with an underage Kylie Jenner. :mellow:

Children and one and one were both killer singles. Two of the best dance songs ever produced. I wonder if we'll ever get a remixed version?

I heard about that on The Rap Critic's Worst Lyrics of 2015 video.

I do remember that and yes, their take on "Children" was 100x better than Dot Rotten's take
