Indian musician Charanjit Singh passed away in his sleep on Sunday in his Mumbai home, reports The Wire. He was 75.

His 1982 album Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat, predated (and inadvertently predicted) acid house and has since been heralded as a classic. Singh, who played North American shows last year (including a few in NYC), was getting ready for a London performance as well as a recording session of Indian folk music. Rest in peace, Charanjit Singh.
