He seems to have amassed a large body of work as a DJ so I'll definitely check out his sets.

Cripes, what is it with all the musician deaths all of a sudden? Little Richard gone, Andre Harell too (he of Uptown Records; aka ol' school rap and New Jack Swing label fame).

I liked his downtempo stuff he did and the Aural Float group he was in.
Resistance D had some ok stuff but I liked their remix of 'Take Me Away'

This one is strangely obscure but in my opinion is the absolute epitome of straight-up "anthemic trance" executed to perfection:
It's funny that only in the last month or two have I realised just how much stuff he was involved in that I have enjoyed. I always thought he was primarily a techno producer/DJ, but he did beautiful downtempo as part of Aural Float (who featured in my newest mix) and some storming trance as part of Resistance D.
I can't find this anywhere online (and ignore the linked Youtube video on Discogs because it's not the same set), but my girlfriend had the first CD of this compilation ripped on her hard-drive when I met her, and we used to play it over and over while trying to fall asleep after a heavy night clubbing. Ocean-deep techno:
If you enjoy any of these sets and want to hear me live, I'll be playing a 2 hour progressive trance set at Basing House in Shoreditch, London on 11th October.
I'm also a resident at our bi-monthly party Kibosh in Manchester: https://www.instagram.com/kibosh.mcr/

Sad new indeed. I've always had a soft spot for this one.

I'll never stop loving that Skyline (Bytes Mix).

Shit, that's a damn shame. RIP. He really hit all the bases with techno, trance, and downtempo.
Always loved this collaboration he did with Oliver Lieb back in the day (1994), which featured on Tiesto's first ever mix-cd:
