RIP Tron

It is with great sadness I inform you that Tron, Erwin Beekveld, passed away in the afternoon of March 30.

His funeral will be streamed live on Monday, April 4th, 14:00 CEST here; https://bit.do/erwinbeekveld4apr

He was one of the kindest, most generous people I ever knew, always happy to have a chat, share his time and knowledge and his beloved Choco Milk. Over the years, he visited the SLAY Radio Gatherings many, many times, and every time he would bring a crate full of Choco Milk and share with everyone.
The tireless support he gave the remixing community over the years earned him a ROTY Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015.

His love of photography was downright contagious, as was many of his other traits. Many an hour was spent discussing sound design, lighting, angles, lenses, how to find the lost sock after laundry - Always with great insight.

We met at every X party, where he would often pick us up, or drop us off at the airport, and always had a spare sleeping place in case it was needed.

I will miss you! ♥
