In Memoriam…

And a magnificent Yorkshire man, West Yorkshire too.

What a genuine ledge.

took the teenager to his immersion 360 thing at Kingscross a couple years back. It was great, it also inspired her creative output and direction considerably. r.i.p LA pool guy​:heart::heart:

Aah guys - too right. I was in the middle of suggesi-(re)questing that someone here could maybe do a wee mix in memorium? He was grounded but sparkly in équal measure.

I adore his collages, this is from one of my favourite books of his, I used it as a cover for one of my mix CDs back in the day…

…And brought a clear, unashamed and modern gay voice into the art world. Hugely important personally in terms of recognition and acceptance. A huge loss of joy, wonder, love, bravery, and creativity.

It’s a belter.

Just heard from a mutual friend on fb that Paul Riddle has passed away.

If you were on UK-Dance email list back in the day, or the Faith/DJH forums and parties, you probably knew him.

No idea what happened, but we’ve lost a good one. Absolutely gutted.

That is sad he loved dancing and was always a very jolly chap. He was always a face about town. Had a great sense of humour too. Rest in power Paul.

That’s really sad news. Hadn’t seen him in years and never really engaged online. He was one of those people I only ever saw at the club and he was usually out and about, at Lowlife, Faith, Thunder and various other things I can’t remember. We would sometimes have this little running commentary on the dancefloor, id-ing tunes and he would clock i was impatiently waiting for a kickdrum and have a chuckle about it, or have chats about Kew where we both lived at different points. He reallly danced hard and lived & breathed house music RIP Paul

That’s really very sad about Paul. Yeah life and soul on the dancefloor… We hung out a fair bit off it, went to a few gigs together and the odd cricket all dayer… he was a most excellent dj at my wedding. Hadn’t spoken to him for a while but I know he wasn’t in the best of health in recent years. I’ll miss him as will anyone who knew him or came across him. RIP
