About Stu Allan in brief
Born in 1962, Allan was well-known for his work on Piccadilly Radio and Key 103 during the 80s and 90s. DJ Magazine placed him 3rd, as the world’s best DJ in 1993, with his performances having a heavy influence on the music of that period.
Allan started working as a DJ in 1982 and his mixes/remixes frequently appeared on Piccadilly Radio in Manchester between 1984 and 1986. He got his own show on Piccadilly Radio in July 1986 and although he was working as a replacement, he was signed permanently.
Allan was also the producer of soul shows like Souled Out and Bus Diss. He was popular at Bowlers in Trafford Park, Manchester, and his high energy old school music made him a favorite of everyone in the 90s. Allan was part of the production team for the Eurodance Act Clock from 1993 to 1999.
On the request of Kiss 100 FM, Allan used to mix and produce a very famous show, Kiss Mix, in 1999 and 2000. He also had another show called Hardcore Nation on Pure Dance in 2005, and later on, went to broadcast on Unity Radio 92.8 FM in Manchester in 2012. Allan hosted the Oldskool Nation every Sunday and then broadcasted with OSN Radio.
