R.I.P. Jonny Cern

Sad news today out of New Zealand, Jonny Beck from the high praised production duo Cern, has passed away.


2008 was a real breakout year for Cern after a number of prized tracks released on various Triple Vision in-house labels. Their latest on Syndrome Audio ('Voodooguru' b/w 'Tense Passed') was exceptional, drawing stunning comparrison to the early work of Ed Rush & Optical on Virus.

This is a great loss for dnb and humanity itself. He will be sorely missed.
