Its such a shame :( Mikey genuinely was a top guy, he helped me out with so many things! As a producer he was finally starting to get the recognition he deserved and was set to go from strength to strength.
He will be deeply missed by so many, and Im sure all our thoughts go out to his family right now.
R.I.P <3

As a producer, he was rapidly becoming the best around.
As a person, he was known for his being kind and being someone easy to talk to by big names and fans alike.
RIP Mikey, you'll be dearly missed.

This is absolutely gutting news. Feel so bad for the family.
Obviously I didn't know him personally, but by all accounts he sounds like a genuinely nice guy.
Hell of a producer.

So sad for such a young talented lad.
One hell of a producer without a doubt, all his tunes were full of emotion, the way it should be.
Deepest thoughts go out to his family and friends, lets remember him how he would want us to, for being hardcore!
RIP xx
Samination
a great thing would be that the label owners would donate the earnings from records containing Nu Foundation tracks, to his family.
I haven't checked most of his latest stuff, but from the samples I've heard, I quite like them.

how devastating
losing a brother or child would be just about the worst thing ever.
my thoughts are with his family...

If you were a fan of his music, please donate to his family. Even if its $1. Proceeds go to his family for covering funeral costs/memorial, etc.

This is my favorite choon of Nu Foundation's. I chatted to him online about it & said how much i liked it. Although i didn't know him personally he seemed like a really nice person.
RIP Mikey.

Love and adored by many, you will be missed. :( RIP
beat me to it. I've said my bits on twitter/FB etc so I'll just say Mikey you will be sorely, sorely missed. RIP
But yes if you can donate ANYTHING to the above it would be a brilliant help to his family to give Mikey the send off he deserves. Even if it's just a dollar or a quid or whatnot every little helps and it all builds up =)

My favourite aswell.... what a track.. listened to it so many times. Had it in my head today. Fantastic producer. R.I.P
RIP Mikey.

RIP Mikey. Thank you for supporting me, my label and my goals when I was still part of the music.
latininxtc
do the royalties of his tracks go to his family?
if so, that would also be a great way to help out, to purchase what you can that Mikey has made.

RIP, tragic news :(

Sad to see him go at only 25. I'll do the best I can, dedicate next week's news to him :)
Liquid_NRG
One of my favorite Nu Foundation tracks of last year.
haha, he looks like a sound guy, alto that image giving him a little image of a nutter.
Now that I think of it, I think he visited the IRC chat a couple of times a few years ago.
I don't remember if I had a fight with him, as I tend to be bloody outright when I talk to people about their tracks on there
redwingz
Thumpa has put together a mix of some of Mikey's best productions in a 45 minute mix, bit of a journey from his older stuff, right up to the modern day.
Wether people knew Mikey and his music or not, I urge you to download this mix and listen to the music that Mikey ultimately wanted us all to enjoy.
warped_candykid
Prayers go out to his family. He was one of my favorite artists. Wish I could have seen him live.
Revs
I didn't want to come back but I just had to for this post. I am so shocked, I just can't believe it. One year ago I seriously got into his music, gave me hope again for new Hardcore. Taking my Time, the remix he did later of that same track, What did you Say (which was played on my show before it was even heard anywhere else), his remix of Power of Goodbye, his remix of Swept Away, his remix of Falling Thru which he finished like 2 months ago, and also some older stuff I liked like Popcorn, Fly with your Lost Generation.
I really can not believe it. I decided some time ago to spend less time here to learn, but I just had to look back to see what was happening (have closed my Facebook account so couldn't see). And everytime I looked at that topic I was so scared. And now he is gone. I can't realize it when I listen to his tracks, they're the work of a dead. The human who did them doesn't exist anymore. It's so terrible I can't believe he is seriously gone :( I even spoke to him like 1 month ago, asking him when some particular tracks are going to be released... And all his tracks that aren't released, it's crazy that one day they will be released and you will be able to say those new tracks are from someone who is now dead. Crazy, just crazy. I don't know what to feel :S I even have a video of a friend of me playing What did you Say at a rave last week, and we were talking about how amazing it is and how epic his stuff is. And that hopefully he will come thru. Now I feel it's like my fault because I didn't pray enough because I wanted to get away from here (even if I'm atheist) and because I didn't post so many wishes on his Facebook wall :( ghaa it makes me cry, why did he just have to go, he was so amazing.... :'( It's the first time I make this experience, of someone I look up to who died, even if I didn't really know him... It's just horrible, tbh I don't know what we are going to do now, and I have so much work I just cannot concentrate :( Everything he has done has now a strange kind of feeling, it feels so different to listen to his tracks... And imagine all the unfinished collabs he has started, or what his last track or last production is. It's so strange really :S
Love, prayers, thoughts and all positive energy to his family, friends and other loved ones :( RIP and have a good time in Hardcore Heaven..
Ionosphere
........oh no.
Farewell Mikey.
Our heartfelt sympathy to all of his family and friends.
DJ_FunDaBounce
I exchanged some e-mails one time with him. Showing him some tracks of mine. He was really kind and sincere. even went the extra mile to send me a sample I was looking for. I too feel sad because of his passing away.
R.I.P.
DJ Lawlzy
He always made me laugh with the ridiculous pictures he'd send me and the conversations we had. His music will always be an inspiration. He was a talented guy with a big heart and it's a goddamn shame he had to go so young...
I wish I could have met him and known him longer. :(
Jimouk
RIP. I've always been a fan of his, playing tons of his tracks on my show. Really sad loss :(
Quicksilver
I uploaded Nu Foundation's 2007 showcase mix that he posted here four years ago. Such a great mix and features Darwin - Don't Be Lonely (Nu Foundation Remix)... If you haven't heard that one that is reason enough to download this mix. Download here.
Mortis
I'd like to get another copy of his bouncy techno production showcase mix he posted here years ago, it was fantastic. If anyone has it can they please re-up it?
Al_X
R.I.P Nu Foundation, his remix of Lost Generation is one of the best remixes of anything of all time.

Truly sad for someone to die so young. I've been listening to all his tracks non-stop for the last couple of days and the only thing to say is that he was incredibly talented...

He was a permanent regular there in 2004-5 when the chan first existed, as dj probe. Before your time. He would have been there in more recent times when doing live mixes though yeah.
Samination
dj probe? I actually recognise that name, but I guess he started sticking out more when he produced and used NuFoundation. I still got a few of his early works from Oxygen Records.
Meathead
****, that's sad... RIP Nu Foundation. My thoughts go out to the family at this time, i hope his mum makes a full recovery.

Just speechless!!. Absolutely gutted. His music was so good, and he was a great guy. I'll miss out late night MSN chats. :-( Love ya Mikey. x

Here is a little tribute Mix I put together ..he will be missed..
Wow, a lot of passing or near death experiences around me (My friends are Hospital after Hospital), I have a few Releases by him "Warped Science 14" is what I could dig up, I'm so baffled, I'm sorry, RIP... Life only lasts so long, "Moment of Silence" as I play the Reese Breakbeat Remix... Where am I?! =(
