SOPHIE, the Scottish electronic producer and DJ who pushed pop into experimental, cutting edge territory, died after an accident at age 34. On January 30, the record labels of the artist Transgressive and Future Classic co-tweeted a statement that said: “Tragically, our beautiful Sophie passed away this morning after a terrible accident. True to her spirituality, she climbed to see the full moon and accidentally slipped and fell. She will always be here with us. ”According to Pitchfork, SOPHIE died around 4 am in Athens, Greece, where he lived.
SOPHIE first appeared in early 2010 with exciting songs like “BIPP”, which landed on the list of Vulture’s Best Songs of the Year in 2013.
