Daren Ellis aka Daz aka Undercover Agent

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved friend, Daren Ellis, affectionately known as Daz, professionally known as Undercover Agent.

Many of you may recognize him from his legendary releases on Juice and Splash Records, as well as his radio station Cyndicut FM, and of course the iconic junglist anthem Splash 'Babylon'.

Daren peacefully departed in his sleep yesterday, after battling health issues in recent years, we did everything we could to support him through this time and today we are absolutely heartbroken. I had literally spoken to him the day before he passed, making the shock at this news is all the more devastating.

As a Suburban Base published artist and dear friend for over three decades I have agreed to pay for the funeral, to ease the burden on his sister, Shana, as his next of kin. Shana has suggested a GoFundMe for the wake/life celebration, and some of the additional cost, acknowledging that some may wish to contribute with their own donation and dedication.

Let's come together to honor Daz's memory and give him the celebration he truly deserves. I am immensely proud to have called him a friend. x
