“It pains us to inform everyone that our dear friend and member of the label, Akira Complex, is no longer with us,” the statement reads. “As a musician their work made an impact and was loved by many all over the world, we know that they truly appreciated everyone who called themselves a fan.”

Deeply inspired by Japanese culture, Complex was a virtuosic producer whose music heavily influenced neurofunk, chiptune and dubstep, among other electronic sub-genres. In addition to DDR, their music appeared in Sound Voltex, Dancerush Stardom, beatmania IIDX and other rhythm games.

2018’s scintillating Hypersynthetic EP, which features Complex’s prized track “Ether Strike,”remains a fan-favorite.
