Andrew Weatherall

NTS regular Andrew Weatherall has been hosting Andrew Weatherall Presents: Music's Not For Everyone since 1 July 2014. On 24 June 2017, Andrew Weatherall was a guest on Terraforma 2017; and on 7 January 2016 was a guest on The Do!! You!!! Breakfast Show w/ Charlie Bones. Andrew Weatherall has been played over 150 times on NTS, first on 19 October 2012. Andrew Weatherall's music has been featured on 140 episodes.

DJ, producer and remixer Andrew Weatherall (6 April 1963 - 17 February 2020) was a key figure in UK dance culture. He was there at the beginning of UK club culture in the late 1980s, just as Ecstasy was changing the dance floors into something more open minded and loved-up. He was a founder member of the Boy's Own fanzine, which documented what was then happening in sarcastic, trenchant terms - contrasting harshly with the sometimes "fluffy" or hippie-ish rhetoric spouted by some caught up in the Acid House movement. The Boy's Own parties were considered a destination for the smarter set and for musical connoisseurs, unlike the lowest-common-denominator mega-raves which were kicking off at the same time.

Weatherall found initial acclaim with an audience outside the dance crowd when he remixed Primal Scream's "I'm Losing More Than I'll Ever Had" into the monster track "Loaded". He showed a talent for stripping music down to fundamental components and then adding something extra to turn it into something beautiful. His remixes with Primal Scream and production work on "Screamadelica" are breathtaking and so far in advance of the rest of the music industry that he had always been a maverick. His production work with One Dove provided one of the great early post Acid House "Chill Out" albums in the melancholic "Morning Dove White", and he provided classic remixes for artists from Stereo MCs to James and Happy Mondays.

As the 1990s progressed and his DJ contemporaries moved into the "super clubs", playing formulaic house and trance, Weatherall always chose to evade easy categorisation, playing sets of anything from heavy dub to pure Detroit Electro, spurning the huge paychecks of fellow Acid House veterans, but consolidating his reputation as a true music lovers' favourite. His clubs, including Sabresonic and Bloodsugar, became legendary and he continued to forge links with musicians both underground and mainstream. Later work - with his bands Sabres Of Paradise and Two Lone Swordsmen - took in Trip Hop, Dub, Techno, Funk, Electro and even Rockabilly and Goth Rock on the album "The Double Gone Chapel".

His first release under his own name - The Bullet Catcher's Apprentice was a return almost to classic Balearic values that he championed over 17 years ago when DJing at the seminal early house nights in London and around the M25. 2013 he released the first album with the band The Asphodells.

Always innovating, Weatherall was a modern legend, a raconteur, writer and polemicist as well as DJ and musician, who perhaps never really had the proper attention he deserved - but appeared to like it that way.

On 17 February 2020 Andrew Weatherall died from pulmonary embolism in London at the age of 56.
