Saw him in Toronto in April 2023 and was spellbound. We had tickets for his return show this coming April, too…

Just the worst news. Almost single handedly created an entire subculture and never really got the full recognition he properly deserved. RIP Maestro

So many beautiful tributes on SM and nothing from any of the cannon fodder artists that suck the soul out of the island last few years…not surprised

Sad news. Was saying to my wife last night that someone of note always dies at Christmas

RIP Alfredo.
Was sadly too young for the golden Amnesia years and never did get to hear him play the Pink Panther.
For me personally, that whole approach to music changed my world and how I see DJing, and many records, parties and friendships emerged out of it. I think a large part of us does crave a return to the innocence and amateurism of the roots and early Ibiza which he symbolised.
Without ever meeting, we shared the odd FB message in recent years and he seemed really sound. Much love to Jaime and everyone who knew him.

Can anybody shed some light on the Secret DJ’s post about Alfredo?
“Sorry if I did not answer many of you. I’ve never been a fan of the online eulogy. The immediate fallout is always about loved ones. And we should leave those closest be.
And then I realised of course I was just incredibly upset, and a large digital outpouring is inevitable and testament to his character.
My devastation came from having to watch it all unfold. From spending years trying to help and actually getting him close to a point where he almost had a normal life again - then being powerless to stop him doing things he should not have. Powerless in every sense as it also meant it sometimes not being my place to say anything.
In the end watching some of the evil shits around enable the worst of it was too much for me, I had to step back it was too painful to watch. I told my mate who was filling in for me looking after him “ah I just need some space from it all, I’ll be back with him after Christmas” and then suddenly there was no Christmas.
And it turned out no one was to blame, and I immediately looked to blame myself most of all, fearing the worst. But it was a simple accident in the end. A bolt out of the blue.
So if you are ever estranged or overwhelmed by friends and family and think it will all be OK one day - DON’T put it off. Reach out now. Grab that person and hold them tight. There may not be a tomorrow. You might not be around to see them off. There may not be the grand luxury of time available you thought there was.
He died in the arms of his beloved son, and that is a measure of comfort, if a passing can ever have any.
He was my mentor, my friend and my glad burden. And there was nothing I would not do for him.”

Honestly, not sure but it’s sad he felt the need to write it now imho. We should just remember the amazing things Alfredo did and what he paved the way for.

I was going to say that, definitely read like he was looking for people to ask him how he was doing and not spend too much time eulogizing the great man.

I think we may need to give some leeway here. If someone has a loss that close up, they often may act in slightly irrational ways or appear to be a little self absorbed, because at that moment that’s exactly what is going on for them, getting trapped inside yourself by the grief, I saw this regularly, working in aged care, where otherwise lovely relatives became difficult and hard to handle, it became an expected part of the process. Not trying to be holier than thou , just making an observation. Happy Xmas.
