This release is great but is going to hit different now

[beerwolf]

Negative Fascination is also very good

[Satans Little Helper]

The title of his last release...

[Neurodancer]

This is too fucking sad. Been a fan of most stuff since Negative Fascination and always admired the consistency in and around the music. Plus, he was an incredible DJ, blew my mind twice – I was lucky to be on the lineup of the last one, though some damned delays didn't allow more than a few minutes with him, you could tell he was an enchanting person. Huge loss.

It seems that Mendez's wife, Simone Ling (Parallel Distortion), and their friend, Luis Vasquez (The Soft Moon), have died as well. Dave Clarke posted about them on IG, and there are speculations of fentanyl overdose over on Reddit. The RA article has also been updated. Really sad.

RIP. bummer. 

edit: doh! already posted in the thread up there

damn. seems like maybe some kind of accident but no details.. he didn't go alone. 

He died in January 2024 at only 47 years old alongside his partner Simone Ling and collaborator Luis Vasquez of the band The Soft Moon, as confirmed by his label.

There's another Reddit thread with some dark twists. The world is such an unforgiving mess.

This is so sad.

so fuckt.  dancesafe offers test strips for fentanyl. essential in the USA i think.

people say those don’t work. who knows.

I think one of the problems is that even if you can test for anything, you can't test for strength/dosage; fentanyl's LD50 is 2 mg, which is a tiny amount, and if it's carfentanil, it's 1/100 of that. You can't measure for them with street paraphernalia, so if you're taking opioids from an untested source, all bets are off. Synthetic opioids are nasty AF.

have heard of people testing locally and letting a dealer know to fuck off because fentanyl showed up in tests. so, there must be a way. if not dancesafe then something. 

[Enthusiast]

Crazy.

Super talented producer and dj. What a waste. RIP.

[beerwolf]

Risky business taking class A drugs the wrong side of 40. I couldn't imagine still dealing with that shit nowadays. Both psychologically and physically. The hell I endured from age 32 to 38 was enough to kill most people. Luckily I have the constitution of a ox and I'm still here. That's no exaggeration. 
 

RIP
