Oh my…of all the dub greats, he’s always had a near and dear spot to my heart. I was just humming one of his many songs this morning. The world of music owes him so much. I count myself blessed to have seen him in 2000. He was a man of many beliefs, I hope one of them works out for him on the other side. Fly easy, you spirit from another world. “Dreadlocks in moonlight!” Jah bless.

The man was/is a legend, I still laugh when I think of him on ‘Hello Nasty’ when he calls the Beastie Boys the ‘Beastie Brothers’ 
Those box sets will surge in price now 
RIP fella, throw them faders into the eternal reverb chamber, crank the delay and ride that feedback into the next life x

One of the greatest producers/artists ever. Love his work, wish I could have seen him perform live. God bless Lee “Scratch” Perry.

RIP
Back in the day I was a huge Orb fan and their love of dub and their namedropping led me to Perry and all sorts of things…
Phenomenal music

The man was a legend, and his work was a huge part of my formative years, I was obsessed with dub music as a teen. Unique and fully formed crazy person, and it’s huge shame that he’s gone. Thanks for all the music you created and inspired in others.
Rip scratch

I think it’s safe to say that without Scratch, modern music would not sound quite like it does now.

I’d never claim to know much about reggae but i’ve seen him a couple of times in the past at festivals and both times he put on great shows and showed why he was headlining. There was a humility and a lot of love given in those shows that really warmed the crowd and made everyone feel great about life and it was almost spiritual being part of such a crowd loving his music and enthusiasm.
Sad loss to lose such a legend.

Wow. We’ve lost a legend this time. He was to dub what sun ra was to jazz.
His technique and whole approach are a massive influence on me even if I don’t make that style of music. I’ve never gone to the extent of burying my master tapes in the yard or anything but he’s the guy who first put the idea in my head to treat the mixer as an instrument like any other.
Big up selecta!!!
