We are sad to share that DJ Ranx passed away on Wednesday, March 19, 2025.

In his nearly 25 years of volunteer service at KDHX, he co-hosted a DHTV local music show, played many music festivals and fundraisers, and exposed thousands of listeners in St. Louis and worldwide to the righteous grooves of dub reggae.

In 2023, DJ Ranx’s show, Dub Mixture, moved from overnight on Saturdays to Tuesdays at noon. This not only allowed a much larger audience to hear Dub Mixture (lunchtime dub!), but it also allowed us, the KDHX staff and volunteer community, to get to know him so much better. He radiated cool vibes, he was always a pleasure to see, and he was the perennial favorite of everybody’s moms.

There never was a more kind, talented, and peaceful person. He will be sorely missed. 

– Jesse Hebisen
