DJ Montana passed away (?)
View this Thread in Original format

Surely many of you remember DJ Montana (Ahmet Buyukkafali) the guy who worked together with Tiësto during the early Blackhole days. I was surprised to read on discogs that he passed away quite recently (27 december 2014).

I couldn't find a decent source as to what cause (drug overdose?) as he was roughly young. Anyone has any information?

quote:
In 1999 Montana compiled and mixed his first compilation on Black Hole Recordings, Space Age 2.0, together with DJ Tiësto. A year later, he takes Space Age 3.0 to a whole new level all by himself, and makes it perfectly clear he`s capable of telling his own story. Follow-ups Space Age 4.0 and Space Age 5.0 were both released in 2001. Now Montana has mixed the official Concept CD. A new series to complement the events organized by United Dance Company. Hollands most innovative party organisation. Montana is named resident of the concept events, which feature big names like Dave Clarke, Sven Väth and Billy Nasty.

I can't find anything, even in Dutch.

I can't find any info on this either.

Well... turns out he was beaten to death.

Edit:
Hold on, that article uses a completely different name than Discogs.

edit lol didnt see you edit.

edit: rip if this is true, he had some good stuff going on decade ago.

I asked around in Discogs and this guy is telling me it's the same person. He doesn't seem to have had any new releases in years either. Maybe he moved to Goa and became a hippe DJ.

I don't really know what to think.

This is DJ Montana who has Turkish parents, but was born in the Netherlands in 1976 (Breda, like Tiesto).

This is Montana Benny, who appears to be from Istanbul, birthday August 30th.

This is his girlfriend/wife (Norwegian): https://www.facebook.com/kinara.lundberg?pnref=lhc

Sundra Erdemir was 41 years old, so that doesn't match.

His name looks right, as he has a brother called Sedef Erdemir:

So at this point I tend to believe Ahmet Buyukkafali (DJ Montana) and Sedef Erdemir (Montana Benny) are not the same person.

Yeah, the more I'm reading into it, the more it seems like complete BS.

At least one dj magazine should said something from december, right? I feel like he was another Montana.

Btw, "our" Montana was not Tiësto's brother?
