Mallorca Lee, the founder of iconic Scottish 90s dance music group Ultra Sonic, has died aged 51.
His passing comes just four weeks after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Opening up about his health online last month, the DJ, MC and producer admitted that he may only have a "matter of months left".
His bandmate DJ KID took to social media on Monday to share the sad news of his death.
He wrote: "It is with tremendous sadness that I announce the sad passing on Sunday afternoon of legendary Scottish DJ, producer and long-time friend Mallorca Lee, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer just 4 weeks ago. He was 51.
"During this incredibly upsetting time, my deepest sympathy goes out to Maria, Mallorca's wife his children Angel and Oceano and his extended family and friends.
"You will be deeply missed, brother, but your energy and legacy will live on."
Close friend and Radio Clyde host George Bowie, was among the first to pay pay tribute, writing: "This is absolutely devastating news. Can't begin to say how broken I am by this."
DJ Ben Nicky commented: "Mall, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you back in the day, your energy and smile is truly infectious. I'm so sorry to hear this and am sure it is a confusing and scary time.
"We've all got your back and if you need anything just let us know. Stay strong mate, keep family close and keep smiling you legend."
Musician Gary Beck wrote: "So sad to read this. You're an absolute legend man."
Lee had confirmed his prognosis in a post shared on Instagram and apologised for not telling all of his family and friends individually, explaining that he was still "processing" and that his "heart is broken a thousand times".
He wrote: "I've been diagnosed with terminal cancer, the doctor said it could be a matter of months.
"I apologise for not telling all of my family and friends individually, it just breaks my heart a thousand times and I don't have the strength to go through it all over and over again.
"I love you all, the last 10 years have been the best of them all, it really has been wonderful.
"Forgive me if I don't answer your calls and messages, I'm still processing, even this post feels like someone else is writing it…
"Love, that's all we ever really have, our one true currency, so tell the ones around you what they mean to you, every day. LOVE LOVE LOVE Mall."
Lee burst onto the hard dance scene in 1989 and founded the techno group Ultra-Sonic in Ayrshire in 1991. Their highest charting single was 1996's Do You Believe in Love, which reached number 47 in the UK charts.
His first professional DJ set was at iconic London venue The Ministry Of Sound in 2001.
