Dutch hardcore techno DJ and producer Bass-D (Eugenio Dorwart) passed away on either December 29th or January 2nd. (reports seem to vary).
At 18 he entered the DMC Dutch DJ Championships in 1991 and made it through to the finals. In the mid-90s he was one of the founders of the -still famous- Masters Of Hardcore record label.
I actually met him a couple of times, and at some point even bought a batch of records off of him (which he signed with a graffiti-like tag, so they still bear his mark to this day !). The few times i met him he always came across as very friendly.
No cause of death has been made public, but he still did multiple DJ gigs throughout November and December. Whatever it was, 52 is way too young to leave this planet.
