Sophie

Sophie Xeon (17 September 1986 – 30 January 2021), known as Sophie (stylised in all caps), was a British music producer, songwriter, and DJ. Her distinctive musical style incorporated experimental sound design, "sugary" synthesised textures, and underground dance elements. She helped pioneer the 2010s hyperpop and bubblegum bass genres.

AllMusic wrote that Sophie's "sophisticated, hyperkinetic productions" feature a "surrealist, blatantly artificial quality", typically making use of "sugary synthesiser textures, and beats drawing from underground dance music styles" as well as "experimental sound design" and feminine vocals.

On 30 January 2021, at the age of 34, Sophie fell three floors from the rooftop of a building in Athens, Greece, while attempting to take a picture of the full moon.
