In December 2021, the electronic music community lost one of its most promising producers. CharlestheFirst otherwise known as Charles Elias Ingalls passed away in his sleep at the young age of 25.

His family has created a GoFundMe to ask for donations to help pay for his memorial event in Denver, CO. If you would like to assist Charles’ family with the financial costs, please donate here.

This money will not only help in making the event happen, but any funds over the $10,000 goal will be put towards createing a foundation in Charles’ name. The goal of the foundation will be to create a retreat, healing center and collaborative studio environment for artists.

Charles created music from his soul that reached hundreds of thousands of people. His music was a balanced blend of bass music interjected with lo-fi and hip-hop.

Solus was the name of his last album released in March 2021. This project was a beautiful piece of art that showcased a journey into self-reflection.

It was described as, “A time of challenges that represent growth, and finally looking ones true self in the mirror. A story of solitude. A story of sunrises seen and felt. A story of holding onto love and letting love go.”

Though Charles is gone, he will never be forgotten. His music and his legacy will continue to live on and inspire others.

I’ve been with Exron since 2018 and have the privilege of contributing to the culture alongside other badass women whom I now call my friends. My introduction to the scene was first influenced by trap music, but my discography has since expanded to touch a bit of everything. Some of my favorite artists are Zeds Dead, Cloonee, Nghtmre, Flume, Infekt, Sosa, Bleu Clair, Subtronics, but the list goes on forever.
