The electronic music year began on an unfortunate note with the departure of SOPHIE in January. During his short career, the producer and artist found himself straddling the line between abrasive industrial sound and shiny bubblegum pop, often combining the two together in one track. Her last song came two days before her death as “UNISIL,” a strong, galvanic B-side from her previous 2015 compilation, PRODUCT. As the final release of a once-remarkable talent, this song serves as a reminder of the artist and artistic potential we’ve all lost.
