I don't think this has been mentioned, but it has just been discovered that Buzzmasta, Japanese Happy/UK Hardcore and J-Core producer, passed away November of last year.

Here's a post from someone in Japanese:

去る2012年11月3日、BUZZMASTAこと河島良が亡くなられました。 3日前に彼の実家を訪れた際、彼の叔父から初めてこの話を聞きました。 まだ信じられない気持ちでいっぱいだったのですが、今朝彼の部屋に 入らせて頂き、彼のご家族からお話を聞き、やっと心の整理がつきました。

彼とはRAVING BEATZ JAPANや様々なリリース、パーティーでお世話になりました。
そして日本のハードコアシーンの黎明期を支えた一人と言っても過言では無いと思います。自分も彼からは多大な影響を受けました。

心からご冥福をお祈りいたします。

OR:

Saru 2012-nen 11 tsuki 3-nichi, BUZZMASTA koto Kawashima Ryō ga nakunara remashita. 3-Nichi mae ni kare no jikka o otozureta sai, kare no oji kara hajimete kono hanashi o kikimashita. Mada shinjirarenai kimochi de ippaidatta nodesuga, kesa kare no heya ni haira sete itadaki, kare no gokazoku kara ohanashi o kiki, yatto kokoro no seiri ga tsukimashita. Kare to wa RAVING BEATZ japan ya samazamana rirīsu, pātī de osewaninarimashita. Soshite Nihon no hādokoashīn no reimei-ki o sasaeta hitori to itte mo kagonde wa nai to omoimasu. Jibun mo kare kara wa tadaina eikyō o ukemashita. Kokorokara go meifuku o oinori itashimasu.

GOOGLE TRANSLATE ENGLISH:

November 3, leave in 2012, Kawashima good and BUZZMASTA child passed away. During a visit to his parents' home three days ago, I heard this story for the first time from his uncle. I was full of unbelievable feeling yet, but I am allowed to enter his room this morning, I heard a story from of his family, organize your mind now has at last.

I was taken care of release and various RAVING BEATZ JAPAN, at a party with him.
And I think that it is not an exaggeration to say that one person who supported the early days of hard core scene in Japan. I also have received a great deal of influence from him.

I pray for the souls sincerely.



This is sad news, even sadder that most people didn't find out until 8 months later. I will always remember him for producing Swedish Rendezvous, a song I never could figure out if it was ever released somewhere or not. At least I believe it was him who produced it, hopefully the DJ didn't get the track ID wrong.

Thats terrible :( He was an astonishing producer, so we've lost a big talent. I never spoke to him directly, or knew him but condolences to his friends and family

RIP :(

Never had anything to do with him but I liked a few of his tracks and it's still pretty tragic given that it was likely to have been long before his time.

My heartfelt condolences go out to everyone who knew him personally!

In my ignorance I've only just discovered (through Clive's post on facebook) that this is the same individual as WATAMI.

Highly talented. Big shame.

R.I.P.

Clive (Entity) just posted something that I either didn't know or have forgotten about. But he was the producer behind the track Tears, which was featured on COH4 and listed under an alias WATAMI.



EDIT: Sorry Jay only just realized what you just posted. I'll have to do some digging on that track Swedish Rendezvous that I was talking about earlier, was a great track maybe someone can help me correctly identify it. In the meantime everyone is welcome to post some of their favorite tunes from Buzzmasta, including those he did under other aliases.

Jakazid shared this on soundcloud - worth reading his words so I'm linking to the track there too.

So sad that yet another young musician has passed away. He was incredibly talented. My thoughts go out to his friends and family.

Not sure what the **** is going on, but that makes 4 people involved in jcore that have left the scene in the last 2 years by the same means.
