Gifford Noel went by the name of DJ Trend in his early years, but also produced under the name TNT.
Not only did he make some fucking good Drum n Bass and Garage tunes, but he was also reponsible for several well known commercial projects and remixes - including Angels With Dirty Faces by the Sugababes. And he was a stalwart in the early years of east London's break out Grime/Garage scene, producing tracks for many of the Grime MCs who have gone on to hit the charts this year...
Over the weekend Twitter has been awash with RIP messages for him. I have no idea what happened, and no wish to know - it's none of my business.
All I know is that the music scene has lost another talented individual.
Of course, his memory will live on through the music he created.
Listen to all of the following tracks to get an idea of how diverse this guy was.
Rest In Peace.
Dynamite MC - Rush The DJ
TNT - 2 Degrees
DJ Trend - The Next Step
TNT - Transmission
Sugababes - Angels With Dirty Faces
