DEJA VU MOURNS THE SAD PASSING OF DJ DARREN IMBERT
Our sincere condolences go out to the family of Darren Imbert, who sadly passed away last week.
Darren was one of the original Deja Vu DJ’s who blessed the airwaves from our station’s beginning between 1995 and 1998. He was someone who always talked about his time on the Vu with fond memories. Darren and his passion for music will undoubtedly be in the thoughts of many in our industry, friends and of course his loving family.
TRIBUTES
Jade Imbert says:
Im Darrens Daughter, Thank You, This Is Really Nice And I Know He Would Apprechiate It xxx
Jade Imbert says:
was wondering if you have done a set dedicated to my dad, if so is there a way i could have a copy of it?
DJ Weeksey (Engin-Ears) says:
I Used to Listen to Darren Imbert on Deja when i was younger (I’m 30 now…lol)his shows where always fire and at the forefront of the urban music scene at the time.
I will dedicate my next show to his memory as a former Deja Vu DJ.
My thoughts are with his family and children.
