Heard via his record label Cutting Records on Facebook that Manny Scretching aka Nitro Deluxe has died. He was a house pioneer and creator of THAT synth line that appeared in millions of cutup house records- you might know him better from Altern-8′s Brutal-8-E which amongst many others samples or recreates large parts of this tune. Also it was one of the records that inspired Warp Records and their early artists – hence it appearing on Warp Influences compilation a few years back.
A massively sad day indeed.. RIP Manny..
