Today DJ AM apparently died of an overdose in NYC.

My buddy Josh Link was killed on Sunday on the Williamsburg Bridge. RIP Josh

And another local DJ Ballin' Adam died earlier this year.

Yeah I've just heard about Adam Goldstein A.K.A. (DJ AM) on CNN and on the other boombox site one of our members Ghettoboom767 was good friends with Adam Goldstein.

It's sad to lose one of ours in the DJ community.

R.I.P. hope you're spinning for the big guy.

R.I.P. DJ AM

while many may lack sensitivity because his death may be due to a drug overdose, remember, he was critically injured in a plane crash. it required many, painful, skin grafts to recover. prescription pain killers are a hard thing to deal with. and even though he over came a recreational drug addiction, these prescription drugs could have caused an uncontrollable relapse for him. its not an excuse. it is what it is...a sad day.



i hope travis barker (the most famous boombox collector to me) never makes us go through the same sadness.

WOW!!! This is almost as sad as when DJs Tee Scott, & Larry Levan passed away!!! As Ford has said: "It's sad to lose one of ours in the DJ community".

RIP DJ AM, make sure you hook up with Tee & Larry up there in that Giant Studio in the Sky!!!

Here's the latest news on DJ AM:


DJ AM’s death ruled accidental drug overdose
Deadly cocktail consisted of cocaine, numerous prescription drugs
The Associated Press
updated 11:34 a.m. ET, Tues., Sept . 29, 2009
NEW YORK - DJ AM died accidentally from a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs and cocaine, the medical examiner’s office ruled Tuesday.

The toxicology report showed the 36-year-old had in his system cocaine, OxyContin, Hydrocodone or Vicodin, antianxiety drugs Xanax and Ativan, Klonopin which also controls anger, Benadryl, and Levamisole, a drug apparently used to cut cocaine.

The cause of death was acute intoxication due to the combined effects the drugs, the medical examiner’s office said. The dosage of each drug was not released.

The celebrity, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, had openly discussed past addictions to crack cocaine, Ecstasy and other drugs.

He was found Aug. 28 in his apartment in New York City’s trendy SoHo neighborhood after a friend called 911. Paramedics had to break down the door before they found him, shirtless and wearing sweat pants, in his bed around 5:20 p.m.

Six pills were found in his stomach and a pill in his throat when he was found dead in his apartment. The pill in his throat appeared to be OxyContin. A crack pipe and prescription pill bottles were discovered there.

In October, MTV was to debut his reality show, “Gone Too Far,” in which he and concerned families staged interventions for drug abusers. MTV hasn’t said whether Goldstein’s show will air. A call Tuesday to the network wasn’t immediately returned.

Goldstein was critically hurt in a plane crash last September in Columbia, S.C., that killed four people. He was flying in a Learjet after a performance with Travis Barker, a drummer for the pop-punk band Blink-182 and Goldstein’s partner in the duo TRVSDJ-AM.

Barker and Goldstein were burned. Goldstein had to get skin graft surgery but resumed performing about a month later.

Goldstein was known for his mashups — blends of at least two songs. He performed in clubs, on concert stages and at exclusive Hollywood parties. He was famous in part for his personal life — he dated actress-singer Mandy Moore and reality TV star Nicole Richie.
