Stu Allan (6 February 1962 – 22 September 2022) was a British dance music DJ and producer who worked for Piccadilly Radio and Key 103 in Manchester in the 1980s and 1990s.
Between 1984 and 1986, his mixes/remixes were featured on Piccadilly Radio, Manchester on various shows including those of Timmy Mallet, Chris Evans, and Tim Grundy.
[citation needed] He was originally filling in for the regular DJ on a 6-week holiday, but the reaction was so great from listeners that he was signed on permanently.
"Love Can't Turn Around" by Farley Jackmaster Funk was the first record Allan played on the radio.
A memorial at Bowlers was held on 25th November 2022 for his fans and fellow DJs to come together to pay tribute to his many contributions to the rave scene.
As well as having commercial success in the group, their songs were also released as hardcore remixes under the pseudonym Visa and were hits on the underground.
