Artists pay homage to SOPHIE amid news of the visionary's death – Mix Session

I would not be here today if it wasn’t for SOPHIE. I want to make that excruciatingly clear.

as a trans artist, it is my job to keep her story going, as she’s the reason why I have one myself.

Rest In Peace, you angel 🌺

SOPHIE literally created sounds no one had ever heard before and made whatever she wanted, not only for herself, but also for some of the biggest artists in the world. all while bringing visibility/being such a positive force for the trans community. fucking incredible

Rest In Peace to SOPHIE. I found myself so consistently inspired by her and in awe of her production. Heartbroken to hear this

Heartbreaking. Rest in power Sophie. Your music will live on and inspire generations to come. I know I will never forget “lemonade” https://t.co/LfiusCty1N https://t.co/V3YebLvMv9

the loss of sophie is huge. she’s been at the forefront for a long time and we see her influence in every corner of music. if you’re not aware of what she has done then today is the day to listen to all her brilliant work. you’ll hear an artist who arrived before everyone else.

RIP SOPHIE. A true creative visionary who moved electronic music forward. She sounded like no one else. Just a singular blend of beauty and dissonance. I wish we could have continued to witness her evolution. Tough to make sense of this.

RIP SOPHIE a true visionary and artist. she was one of the few artists where within 2 seconds of hearing the song you can instantly say “oh yea this is a sophie track”.

Imagine being SO good and SO confident and SO pioneering that you can LITERALLY give away all your sounds via splice pack and still no one can’t come near ur production.

it's so insane that 8 years after i first added these mp3s to my itunes the music is still so satisfying, challenging, funny, scary, sexy, camp, expertly crafted in both musical and production terms, revealing different details every listen.
