28/04/2014 – DJ Rashad-Acid Bit (2013)
Sad news as a true legend dies before his time
Over the weekend it was reported that DJ Rashad had died. He was only 35. A lot of the facts are still a bit vague, but the cause of death is looking like a drug overdose. This is such a senseless waste. DJ Rashad was beyond talented.
Last year he released Double Cup through Hyperdub and it was one of the standout albums of the year. This is what makes the news that much harder to take. DJ Rashad was still relevant and releasing amazing album.
I’m sure that over the next few days more details will be revealed, but at the moment the dance music community is coming to terms with losing another member. The news of Frankie Knuckles passing was just starting to sink, but this seems more shocking and sad.
RIP DJ Rashad

Sorry to say but another one bites the dust. What is it about the music–entertainment industry period that turns good people to drugs? R.I.P.
A nice tribute. Rest in peace.
