Dance music DJ Stu Allan dies aged 60
DJ legend Carl Cox said Allan was "a shining light of the rave scene he helped build"
Allan, who championed the burgeoning genres in the 1980s and 90s, had been receiving treatment for cancer. Paying tribute, fellow DJs said Allan was a "beautiful ego-free music lover" and a "shining light of the rave scene he helped build". He began DJing in 1982, after being inspired by a play of hip-hop DJ Grandmaster Flash's The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel on John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show the previous year.
