It is a dark day for the dance music scene. Orlando-based producer/DJ Big Makk passed away yesterday after a fatal car crash which caused the death of him and two other fellow people. Well known for his contribution towards the local scene and the overall development of the moombahton and trap genre over the years, Samisoni Koroitamudu had been an integral figure having been involved with Diplo‘s Mad Decent imprint and much more.
Moreover, the young act was also slated to perform at EDC Orlando later this November. A massive loss for the dance music industry, fellow producers and DJs poured in their love and grief on social media.
R.I.P Big Makk. Our thoughts go out to his friends and family!
Deeply saddened by this mornings news. RIP @BIGMAKK_, you'll be extremely missed.

Makk was a big part of the movement in Orlando when all of us local DJs we're trying to make it. He was always innovating with his music
