yeah... I posted that article in a few places. Dave was a good friend of mine. We had done a few shows together, I sold him the gear he used to record his first EP. He's the reason I got into Pro Tools, and he's the biggest reason I stepped back behind the turntables. He gave me copies of some of his records, including one fairly rare one called "Hands Up For Detroit" on Ghostly International (1000 copies pressed, no reprints ever). He let me hear "Buck Bounce" and a STILL unreleased track he did with Twista while chillin in his apt/office. Behind that, I started thinking about getting back into hip hop production (Dilla's death actually got me to get up off my ass and do it). Dave was a good guy, fucked up I hadn't talked to him for a some months leading up to his death.

I didn't have the money to make it to his funeral, and that still kinda fucks with me.
