Dj Spoon, Dance Music Star Dies

Mark Spoon, the German DJ who has died aged 39, was one of the pioneers of trance music; he remixed key tracks of the genre such as Moby’s Go (1992) and, as part of Jam and Spoon, scored a worldwide hit in 1993 with Right in the Night.

Trance evolved in the early 1990s - principally in Germany - as a more mellow counterpoint to the relentless beats of techno and house. Spoon, then playing sets in Frankfurt’s nightclubs, was among the first to combine ambient and pop melodies with electronic dance music, breeding the trance-like rhythms that gave the new form its name.

The less frenetic nature of the tracks allowed clubbers to dance for longer, and proved popular as a come-down at the end of the night. Indeed, the record that brought trance to a mass audience, Children (1995) by the Italian DJ Robert Miles, was written specifically to reduce the number of fatal accidents suffered by his excitable compatriots as they sped home from clubs in the small hours.

By then, Spoon had remixed Go (which samples Angelo Badalamenti’s string theme to Twin Peaks), the 1993 re-issue of Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and songs by the trance act Deep Forest. Teaming up with Jam El Mar (Rolf Ellmer), a onetime classical guitarist, the pair enjoyed a massive hit with Right in the Night (Fall in Love with Music), and in 1994 were named Remixers of the Year by Mixmag.

Markus Löffel (”spoon” in German) was born in Frankfurt on November 27 1966. He trained as a chef, but from the age of 14 he had been playing records in clubs, and in the late 1980s he went to work as an A&R man for the record label owned by the band Snap! For them he discovered the talents of a Nigerian dental student in Stockholm, Dr Alban, who blighted the airwaves with It’s My Life for much of 1992.

Spoon then opened his own club in Frankfurt to introduce warehouse parties to Germany. The venture was short-lived, but by the mid-1990s he was established as one of the Continent’s leading club DJs, and for several years played the closing set at Berlin’s Loveparade. Jam and Spoon’s first hit was Stella, from their debut LP Tales From a Danceographic Ocean (1991). Later albums included Tripomatic Fairytales 2002 (1994), Kaleidoscope (1997) and Tripomatic Fairytales 3003 (2004). The duo also had side projects, including Tokyo Ghetto Pussy and Storm. Under the latter moniker, Spoon enjoyed a summer hit in Ibiza in 2000 with Time to Burn.

Spoon had a reputation as an insatiable partygoer. He was found dead of a suspected heart attack in Berlin on January 11.
