Margaret was diagnosed with cancer in 2023, with her family launching a GoFundMe that raised £15,558 from 207 donations.
“She took many initiatives and researched all options available to find the best treatments that can not only ensure her to recover from this, but also allow her a quality of life for the future,” the fundraiser reads. “Crystal is a kind and generous soul, always ready to help others in need.”
The young DJ studied music at London’s Point Blank Music School and came from a family steeped in music. She started in classical piano before showing interest in electronic and techno in her teens, teacher herself how to DJ.
“It’s a huge shock and a real tragedy, Crystal was a lovely person and a very talented DJ and producer,” Khazad label head Balrog told the outlet in a statement. “She will be a massive loss to the scene. My thoughts go out to her friends and family.”
