After the death of Andy Wood, the member of Seattle's Mother Love Bone attempted to pick up the pieces and move forward. Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, and Mike McCready, would record a five-song instrumental demo, with help from Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron. A copy of the demo ended up in the hands of Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Jack Irons, who was friends with Eddie Vedder. Irons gave Vedder the demo, and Eddie wrote lyrics and recorded himself singing on three of the songs, which became "Alive", "Once", and "Footsteps". After, hearing Vedder's voice and the lyrics, the band invited Eddie to Seattle where they were recording with Cameron & Chris Cornell on the eventual Temple Of The Dog project. Vedder would add his voice to the song "Hunger Strike" and Vedder became part of the band.

DJ Randall, the influential UK drum’n’bass DJ and producer, has died, Mixmag reports, citing his representatives. He was 54 years old. Born in east London, Randall became a fixture of the UK dance scene in the late 1980s and early ’90s, helping shepherd acid house towards breakbeat, hardcore, and jungle in warehouse venues and on pirate radio. Mixtapes capturing his jungle sets—and his occasional standalone singles—became formative documents of the era, while sets at venues like London’s Blue Note further incubated the dominant underground dance sounds of the ’90s. He founded his own label, Mac2 Recordings, with Cool Hand Flex in 1996, and continued to DJ at major dance festivals until his death.
