Manchester drum and bass producer Marcus Intalex has died.

He'd been due to play a set at the Soul:ution party at London's Pickle Factory but the club posted a message on Facebook saying it was cancelled.

Friends of the Burnley DJ, whose real name was Marcus Kaye, have been paying tribute to him on Twitter.

Chase & Status said on Twitter: "RIP Marcus Intalex. Such devastating news, another legend, one of Manchester's greats taken too early."

A statement posted on his record label's Facebook page confirmed the news of his death.

It says: "It's with heavy hearts and great sadness we have [to] announce that Marcus passed away this morning.

"Thanks for the kind words so far and we appreciate the privacy and respect shown for his loved ones and friends at this sad time."

A number of Radio 1 and 1Xtra DJs have been paying their own tributes.

It's unclear how Marcus died. His death is trending on Twitter.

He released drum and bass via Metalheadz and Exit Records as well as his own Soul:r label.

As Trevino, he dropped house and techno tracks from 2011 with labels like Aus Music, The Nothing Special and Klockworks.
