RIP Lenzman

We're sad to report the death of Lenzman, who had been living with cancer since 2023. His uniquely soulful take on Drum and Bass was incredibly influential and much loved; his track with Riya (below) is one of the all time greats. Lenzman founded The North Quarter, a label which formed a home for FD, Note, Fox and Objectiv and many other artists. This tutorial video from Sample Genie, is one of two which will be uploaded in full to enjoy and watch for free. 

Nothing can prepare you for a loss this great. 

Yesterday afternoon, July 11th, we had to say goodbye to my beautiful husband Teije and beloved father of our two girls.

For 3.5 years he fought with so much strength, courage, and love. He showed us what true strength means, and I will forever be proud to have walked this life beside him.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has supported us, loved Teije, sent messages, visited, helped, and stood beside us during this difficult time. Your kindness and love have meant more than words can ever express. 
We are forever grateful to be surrounded by so many beautiful people.

Ashanti, Riva and Nya

His first album Looking at the Stars was released on Metalheadz and Goldie had this to say: "I've seen him grow over the years ..and into one of the kindest and most beautiful people you could ever meet ...he was a massive part of the Metalheadz family over the years and came into his 'own with The Norther Quarter with the love that he shared with so so many. Our deepest condolences go out to his wife Ashanti and his beautiful children Riva and Nya."
