There are no words to describe the incalculable loss of Cookie Monsta today. Circus Records shared the news of his tragic passing early this morning, though so far no cause of death has been revealed.
Cookie was one of the first artists signed to Circus Records after Doctor P, Flux Pavilion, Simon Swan and Earl Falconer founded the label in 2009, along with Funtcase and Brown & Gammon. His first release on the label, Ginger Pubes / Blurgh!, in 2010, has stood the test of time and is still a consummate and legendary release in the genre.
Since the news of his death, artists from all corners and fans have shown an outpouring of thoughts and prayers, dedications to his life and legacy. One of his closest friends and collaborators in the community, FuntCase, wrote, “This year has taken yet another beautiful soul from us. Please play ginger pubes, yo momma, them, monster and everything’s he’s ever written at the loudest possible volume for the guy I loved so much.”

Im absolutely lost for words
Cookie Monsta was a huge reason I got into dubstep and having the chance to get to know him and tour with him was such a blessing. Hoping he's in a better place now.

Cookie Monsta was my first IDOL in dubstep and I remember listening to his music nonstop. I was just listening to 'Blurgh!' and all his old masterpieces the other day. I honestly can't believe he left us so early. Rest in peace ???

Devastated.
When I was young I actually hated dubstep – until I heard Cookie Monsta. His music watered a seed of passion for bass music that I didn’t know I had. It forever changed my life, and ultimately lead me to the success I am so lucky to have.
Rest in paradise king ? https://t.co/yAPzDUgd49

Man this is devastating. I looked up to Tony so much when I started making dubstep. He had this mix of like 40 of his own unreleased tunes that I would listen to everyday. Gonna go find that mix now. RIP brother ? https://t.co/n1WEY7JlRV
