Australia’s dance music scene is in mourning, with the tragic death on Thursday of Sydney DJ Adrian Thomas, better known to his many fans, as Ajax. Thomas was hit by a car in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.

The outpouring of emotion amongst the electronic dance music community since then has been immense. Ajax was a quality producer, DJ, but most importantly, one of the nicest blokes you’d meet in the scene. His influence on Australian music in the mid ‘noughties’ was overwhelmingly positive, and his passion for it, unwavering.

He will be sorely missed.

Melbourne producer and DJ, Jamie Stevens - also one of the nicest blokes you’d ever meet - was a friend of the late Thomas. In the past twenty four hours, Stevens has produced a piece of musical brilliance.

Stevens has written this on his Soundcloud page:

“When I learned that my friend Adrian Thomas (DJ Ajax) had died yesterday, it hit me very very hard as it did with anyone who knew him. I felt the urge to create some music in his memory so here it is to share. The world has lost a genuine, kind, talented and sincere individual. RIP Adrian x”

This is what he created, a piece of emotive musical brilliance.
