Dave Shayman (aka Disco D) 1980-2007
Dave Shayman (aka Disco D) was found dead this morning of an apparent suicide. He was 26 years old.
The Michigan-bred, New York-based producer—who was best known for his work with 50 Cent — began his career at the age of 16 in the college town of Ann Arbor, MI. Having discovered the then unnamed Detroit ghettotech scene via artists such as DJ Assault and DJ Godfather, the still in high school Shayman dove head first into the music scene, scoring his first residency at age 17, at Ann Arbor's The Blind Pig before he could even legally enter the venue. He began releasing music soon after signing his first record deal before graduation with Bad Boy Bill's Muzik/Mixconnection label.

I saw him once and it was terrible! But he did admit it was his first night using an MPC on stage or whatever. Good producer and must have been young, (just checked, 26 apparently!) very sad news

You Need Another Drink is an absolute classic in my book. Ghetto tech has lost one of its biggest producers.
RIP

Badman. This is very sad. D was a really decent nice guy and funny as shit. Only white boy I've ever seen rock the 4-finger ring, and he did it with total attitude. He was doing tracks for Vybes Cartel and 50 Cent among others recently. Serious talent. And just BAAAD on the decks. Big boy mixing.

ah that is incredible.
it is fortunate at least that he has left such a legacy of remarkable productions.
and a special mention of that "ski mask way" instrumental he made, sick.
