I opened my e-mail inbox this morning to a very sad and upsetting e-mail from Randy Boyer . Together, he and Eric Tadla were the production duo known as EnMass.
Being a great fan of EnMass myself, having played many of their tracks over the years, this was terrible to hear of. I'm strong friends with Randy personally and he's always spoke extremely highly of Eric and of how great a musician he was.
From myself personally and the rest of the team at Dancenode, we'd like to offer our sympathies and respects to Eric's wife and child, Randy, and to all of the fans and supporters who enjoyed his music.
I feel it appropriate to end this story with none other than Eric's best friend Randy, and his heartfelt statement posted on Trance.nu. We will all miss you Eric.
I¹m sorry to be writing you this letter, but I have some extremely bad news to share with you. My production partner of over 8 years, and great friend Eric Tadla passed away this past Saturday night. He was the other half of EnMass and one of the greatest musicians I have ever met. We composed over 60 songs together, and shared a beautiful 8 years. I am still in shock. As hard as this is, I know it¹s my obligation to let you know. Eric was a great person, with a huge heart and always escaped from life by making music, and I know that he would want to have his music to live on, which I know it will. Please feel free to pass this information along to anyone you think should know. I wish you the best in these tough times. Keep in touch.

It's hard to put in words feelings and emotions that overwhelm you. Eric was a brother to me, and he left us some amazing music to remember him by. It was an honor to work with such an amazing person. He would be really happy to see how many people thought of him the way you guys do, so thank you for all the support. RIP Eric Tadla. Love yea buddy, you will always be missed.
