Yes it's very sad for a DJ like him to die at such an age.

Strangely, one of his songs have been released in UK this week song which has been covered by House Headz, yes 'Stella' is one of the first singles of Jam & Spoon, but which never reached the shore of UK.

May u rest in peace Mark Spoon

Really sad news. I'm a big fan of Jam & Spoon and I know they'll never exist anymore. Fortunately, there is always their music from the past to remember. My favorite track from them is "Right In The Night".

Of course, I remember. I have 4 CD singles in my collection including "Huri-Khan", a hit in french clubs. For the occasion, they renamed themselves Trancy Spacer and Spacy Trancer.

Sad news Didn't know that he was behind Storm, liked all their hits. Didn't realise either that one of his songs was covered this week

Right In the Night will always be his most famous tho, being released twice and big enough for me to remember it both times. It was played on Kiss and the other dance stations at the time, as I have a vivid recollection of it being played in town one day.
