YOUR COMMENTS ON Kurt Borusiewicz

Kurt was born in Philadelphia on January 26, 1952 and resided there until he b ecame too ill to live alone. I first found Kurt spinning records at the DCA. I was in search of a new collaborator for my musical compositions and productions. I had never heard anyone spin records like him at the time nor since. He was a terrific companion in the studio, a cherished friend and a Superstar DJ who left his mark on the Dance Music that was born in the 1970's. Kurt died in 1994, leaving a void in the music world and in the hearts of all the people whose lives he touched so intimately.

I am saddened to hear that Kurt has left us. I had a brief 2 month relationship with him and have such fond memories of him: the moment we realized sharing the same b-day, to our trip to the Raven in New Hope, to the beach, and seeing his smile! : )

When I first met him, he just had a party for Grace Jones at his condo, and he showed me pics of the party and he was happy. I use to play "I can't wait" by Stevie Nicks...that would be the song I will remember him by.
As with life, relationships also come to an end sometimes. I will always remember Kurt...RIP!

P.S. Andy, I never met you but if you want to respond to me, please do!

It's August 11, 2007. My new mixes, the remake of Karen Young's "Hot Shot" are about to be released. I have been thinking about Kurt a lot recently - the great times we shared as collaborators and always as friends. His spirit is certainly alive. It has guided me through the studio sessions over the last year while I've been working on putting together all the new versions that will bring Karen's incredible vocal performance on "Hot Shot" back to life. I know that Kurt will be beaming once again, as he did when we were producing that amazing song 30 years ago!
