Dario G is the author of famous music such as "Carnaval de Paris" and "Sunchyme".
"He was positive until the end, but this was a battle he could no longer win," his family wrote on his official Instagram page.
"He has left behind a wonderful musical legacy and many happy memories."
Dozens of well-known musicians paid tribute in the death notice post.
"I have no words", writes the well-known duo "Phats & Small". "One of the good guys, we'll miss you bro."
"A true inspiration, he brought joy to so many people and will live on forever through his music," Sigala wrote.
"Paul has told me many times over the past year, 'Go get yourself checked,' so I'm passing that message on to whoever reads this, as I'm sure he'd want me to."
Chart star Sonique added: "Rest in peace my friend. We'll miss you that's for sure."
