Is Tony De Vit the best dead producer/DJ?

from my research, his residency at Trade was legendary and his productions are just pumping.

Tony De Vit was definitely one hell of a talented producer/DJ in his prime. His beats were sick and his mixes were fire!

Jesus Christ forgives all sins but damn, I wish he didn't do what he did to other people...

There's a generation of clubbers who'll say Avicii or SOPHIE. Don't know if anyone *here* is of that generation, but still...

I would have had more respect for him if he stayed and faced the music. And then accepted whatever sort of punishment that was handed to him .but he decided to take a lethal dose of whatever he was taking. So obviously there wad some guilt and shame there.

I think erick had the best label. Subliminal released some monsters.

I found this news article about a Tony De Vit movie documentary in the works

quote:
One of the film's producers Phill Smith told Buzz.ie: "Back in the 90s, the most explosive era in dance music history, one of the world's best DJs met a child prodigy. When the master suddenly died in 1998, his 17-year-old apprentice Fergie was thrust into the music spotlight. Our film Tony de Vit Don't Ever Stop' is the story of tragedy, esctasy, music and mayhem."

Tony's still heartbroken sister Jayne Parkes told Buzz.ie: "It's 25 years since Ant left us. A film about him, Don�t Ever Stop, will be out sometime this year. This is something that I could never have imagined happening. It�s incredible after 25 years he is getting this huge recognition that he so richly deserves."

And Jayne added: "The new remixes are such a fitting tribute to Tony. He would have loved it, not that people are honouring him (which I love ) but the fact that a whole new generation of DJs are bringing his music bang up to date. Ant was an innovator and loved progress. And if he is truly to live on we need to pass him on to the next generation who may not of heard of him, but will now search out his original music.

Philippe van Mullem (Quadran), John Horrocks (Jon Vesta/Amethyst), Caspar Pound, Henrik Klein Rasmussen (Little Jam), Brainbug

Also notable mentions are Gary D (mostly crappy hardstyle in later years but was really good in the 90s) and Tillmann Uhrmacher.

It's always fascinating how talented musicians who create masterpieces decide to commit suicide.
