'Probably the most over-looked person in the story of house music in the UK': How DJ Stu Allan helped Manchester become the rave capital of the world
His Sunday night shows on Piccadilly Radio introduced a generation of Mancs to house music, hip hop and rave. He was one of the first DJs to play the likes of A Guy Called Gerald, 808 State and Sub Sub.
By 1984 Allan's mix tapes were starting to be played by Piccadilly Radio DJs such as Timmy Mallet and Chris Evans. Two years later he was offered a six week slot on the station, and its popularity helped him bag his own Sunday night show, where he became one of the first radio DJs in the UK to promote the emerging electro, hip hop and house music scenes.
DJ legend Carl Cox said Allan was 'one of my heroes' and 'a shining light of the rave scene he helped build'. Doves, whose members Jimi Goodwin, and Andy and Jez Williams, were formerly Sub Sub, said Allan was a 'pioneer', adding: "We were all massive fans of his radio show, it was an education."
