I was so gutted to learn of his passing this morning. Been nagging at me all day. His music had a pretty profound effect on me. I put together a tribute mix, which spans his catalog, aside from his house material. A friend of mine is putting that one together. There is definitely more to him beyond his albums for Leaf and Lo Recordings.
Looking forward to this upcoming 7" by The Pattern Forms, new project from Friendly Fires + Jon Brooks. Their library mixes are ace as well.

Gaston Arevalo - Rollin Ballads
Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Love Is A Stream / Xela & Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Love Is A Dream
I got this a while ago but have criminally neglected it... will have to give it another spin asap
Great for summer and fall. One of my favorite albums. Doesn't get much deeper than this:
Two new LPs from Janek Schaefer (Room40, 12k, Line)

https://dekorder.bandcamp.com/album/unfolding-luxury-beyond-the-city-of-dreams
I liked that Deupree and Sakamoto collab, got the CD, but it didn't click with me as much as that second Fennesz Sakamoto collab, Cendre. I'd rate that collab #1.
