So sad 

[Raio_05 777]

Omg. I really liked her as a producer. I wonder what was the cause of death?

They were such an interesting artist. What a shame and a waste for a trans icon especially.

Sophie, the influential British producer who molded electronic music into bracingly original avant-garde pop, was killed in an accidental fall Saturday morning (January 30), a representative confirms. SOPHIE died at roughly 4 a.m. in Athens, Greece, where the artist had been living. In a statement, the labels Transgressive and Future Classic wrote: “True to her spirituality she had climbed up to watch the full moon and accidentally slipped and fell. She will always be here with us".

Sophie on Madonna

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/jul/15/sophie-on-madonna-work-vast-musical-influence

In my mind, Madonna created the blueprint for modern pop stars. Her creativity has gone further, wider and longer than anyone else I can think of; I feel like her songs have been consistently memorable and meaningful. I have loved all of Madonna’s different phases at different points, but I think the Bedtime Stories era [1994] is really intriguing, especially the production – it has a unique feeling. It’s so much more fully formed and sexy than a lot of the trip-hop stuff that was coming out around that time. It’s definitely been an influence on my own music.

My earliest memories of Madonna are of when my half-sister used to listen to her loads on family holidays. Davina was, and still is, a very fun party girl, so my early impressions of Madonna are merged with my half-sister’s teenage punk energy – I still think of Madonna in that way.

Working with her [on track Bitch I’m Madonna, which Sophie co-wrote and co-produced, the third single from Madonna’s 2015 album Rebel Heart] was really quite a one-off, spontaneous thing – I suppose a happy coincidence. I felt a connection with the title. But you have to prevent yourself from getting too excited about that kind of thing. People still write about that song in every article they write about me, so I guess she still means a lot to everyone operating in music right now.

Madonna’s work is so vast – there’s an appropriate Madonna reference for any situation. But I think the factor that sets her apart from others is that each phase seems to be a byproduct of a genuine journey of self-discovery, and always addresses some prejudice or other.

Whatever is the established, easy‑to-consume current thing, Madonna always seems to push past that. I think anyone who has struggled with having their voice heard can relate to what Madonna stands for and feel empowered by her story and her music. She is not buying into people’s bullshit.

I think what I’ve learned from her is that you can work hard and still be a good person. Anyone who fights so long and so hard deserves to be an important figure in music.

And she looks like she’s having more fun than a lot of people I know at that age, so whatever she’s doing, in my opinion she’s doing it right.

official statement says it was a "sudden accident".

[Blue Prince 995]

Read somewhere she climbed higher to watch the full moon and fell. Greek media don't seem to have any further details to add to that.

[RUADJAI 14,939]

just tragic

[lucasciccone 4,221]

Oh my God this is so sad ? she was so young and full of talent. Her sound innovated the pop music and influenced a lot of artists. What a lost.

[NothingReallyMatters 634]

she was a beautiful soul, legend, and a LGBTQ+ Icon that change and influence modern pop culture. Rest In Peace, SOPHIE.

Fucking hell Avicci and now Sophie. How awful such a brilliant talent and a trail blazer.
With the cape and the leaks the Rebel Heart era is truly truly cursed.
