Any D.J Stu Allan fans on here?/The Stu Allan era!

[dancelica]

hi guys...... memories of sunday nights in my bedroom, diving for the pause button when the adverts came on brings back very happy memories!

I've been looking for a track stu allan used to play and i figured its got to be listed on the house hour mixlists...... can you help?
He played it @ Dance City, JERSEY 1992/3 and the song has a "hop hey ho hey" chant and the "we are i.e." sample from lennie de ice!

have a listen @ link below

stu allen played my friends night at the worx preston at end of september alongside dj absolute and ben fisher he still has wot made him a good dj but much happier to say he no longer has the shady following that he did in the early nineties
I think stu allen was also one of the people responsible for bringing underground dance music to the mainstream in the uk with his key 103 old skool show on sundays. I have also had the pleasure of booking mr allen to play loveshack in blackpool in early ninties and am the proud owner of the only copies of his set that night
Personally though i always felt he was more at home in hardcore than old skool house

Wow! I'm well impressed with this thread, I thought I was the only person who used to record all his shows on KEY 103. I used to start recording the floor fillers from about 94 then stick another tape in for the requests show and another for the hard house (never a fan of break beat and jungle though). I've still got a few of my tapes, one in particular has all 3 of my requests back to back on it, one of which he passes a message on to a girl that I fancied....... 11 years later and we are happily married with children (I don't think Stu can take the credit for that though ;-).

I had no idea that he started out so early, I thought he was a strictly house and dance man. I only saw him live once at The Roxy in Bury on Boxing day about 96 and I managed to pull a fit bird because I said I worked with Stu (she believed me purely because we sound the same when we speak, that and the fact that she was hammered probably helped).

Addition: There was one particular tune that he used to play in the hard house mix almost every week for a year which was fanflippintastic but all I can remember is one of the lines which went "Only if I had one more tryna keep the rhythm from a rippin down the door...."

I know it's a long shot asking people to remember a song from one line played by a regional DJ on an obscure show 12 years ago, but I reckon you can do it. Ta

hi mate,
the "only if....." tune is on this

Dyewitness - Seven Days

i recommend the album....cos he used to hammer a few of it...... "observing the earth & what would you like to hear again"

I remember writing in to Stu Allan asking him what this fantastic track he kept playing was as he didn't ID it himself.

He actually wrote back saying things would become clear soon, and it turned out the track was 'You Gave Me Love' by Clock, and that cowbell still drives me nuts!!

Any other DJ would have plugged their own track like mad, but he didn't(not until it was released anyway!).

Makes me wonder if that's why he hasn't been as respected as he should have been/should be, he's just too modest!

I'd love to go to a club and see him DJ, but i guess I'm too old and fat to get in the places he'd be playing!LOL

Stu Allan..great DJ. Listened to him regularly way back.. He always played top tunes

There was a tune he played once that I'd really like to hear again but I can only remember one bit of it that went (in what sounded like a childs voice but was probably just a speeded up adult) "I'm buzzin, are you buzzin?". It was ace from what I remember of it.

Can anyone help?
