Sad news all round really.
Kenny was credited with helping Girls FM to become the UK's leading house music pirate station back in the day, as well as being instrumental in the club scene with his night, Space, at Bar Rumba in London's west end.
I went to see Heidi play an 8-hour set last night (review to come on Resident Advisor soon) and she played the track below, which is a serious favourite of mine. Anyone who reads my blog regularly (there must be one or two at least?!) will know I'm a massive fan of dark, minimal tunes and this is a perfect example of the kind of stuff that really gets me going music-wise. That bassline is too mean.

And here's a classic Kenny Hawkes mix, taken from Girls FM's 1st birthday, all the way back in 1995.
Another huge loss to the house music scene was the passing of Darryl Pandy.
If you're unfamiliar with his name just watch this... classic footage of an all-time classic track.
One that I'll never grow tired of - timeless.

And this is pretty cool too.
