Brian "DJ CECIL" Pace

I’m at a loss for words. My friend, dj partner and fellow LFORADIO dj, Brain Pace passed away recently. I cant even express in word how crushing the news is to me. We explored techno and dance together and shared an love for djing that most never get to experience. Thank you for all your smiles, crazy jokes and great spirit. I will never forget you my friend. Maybe I will get to spin with you again someday. May you continue to inspire in the next life as you have in this one.

new radio player for LFORADIO

by | Aug 1, 2011

I’m about to start a facebook and google+ radio player ad campaign and thought i’d try it out here first. It’s designed to be simple and easy to play. Will broadcast the stream to anyone who plays it and it’s meant to be shared so let me know what you think?

Albert & Terry (best friends)

WOW. I’ve never been one to deal with death very well but I guess I need to learn because when things happen they happen in 3’s . The loss of yet another friend has me right at that point. Albert Spurlock III was one of those people you always got a smile from, was always friendly and always had a positive outlook on things, ready to dance and have a good time. He passed away Monday night sometime from an Aneurysm and he will be the later of three friends to pass over the last year, Ben McDaniel, Ian Watts and now Albert.

I have to say Albert I’ve known for almost 2 decades, same with Ian who was a very close and dear friend. Ben was a good buddy of mine but we weren’t as close as Ian and I were. Albert, although not a close friend in the since of the phrase but always someone who gave me a handshake when i’d walk into Dish before I played. He was always at the shows I played and places I was working. His buddies Terry, Dvaughn, Brian and others would be a big crew. They were always inseparable and always on the dancefloor. His memorial is this Saturday at 1pm  at the Mississippi Blvd Church (70 N Bellvue) in downtown Memphis.

Dvaughn told me that he mentioned if ever he were to pass, he would want house music at his memorial so he needed my help. I made some music for him and it probably one of the toughest things Ive had to to in a long time. Even though some of the music is not the classic funeral procession music its what I think Albert would have wanted  and it will be sad for sure. Albert, we miss you brother.

This saturday, the voice for Hitchhiker’s Dance guide, Buddy “Water Boy” Dorman, has asked me to return for a little interview and performance on his show which happens to be the longest running EDM show in the country. I readily agreed.:) Make sure to catch the show either locally on FM 89.9 or on the web at wevl.org for what should make for an interesting broadcast. Here is a little except from Buddy’s blog @ hhdg.blogspot.com:

In three days, Justin Hand returns for the third time in the history of the show to demonstrate why he’s one of the most influential pioneering DJs in Memphis. His acute technical skills combined with an intuitive ear for what makes the journey flow and the dance floor excited makes him a perfect resident DJ of a club. Maybe that’s why some call him Fist: Justin’s hands drives those mixes straight from the center of the listeners’ cerebral cortexes to their hearts and back again. Fist keeps the party poppin’ and will not hesitate to switch gears to elevate “la fiesta” to new heights.

Justin has two decades of DJing and over a half a decade of Internet radio management under his belt. Mr. Hand began LFO radio in 2005 and currently receives management assistance from Dirty, the HHDG guest DJ for the last two Februarys. They both host regular live DJ shows. Justin: Hands on Deck (Thursdays 6PM – 8cst) & Dirty Deacon’s Sunday Worship (Sundays 6PM – 8cst). Justin takes his DJing job very seriously by digging deep for hidden gems in the Underground EDM and educating his audience in a fluid and precise manner
