R.I.P Andrew Weatherall, so down to earth, so knowledgable , so approachable, never gave it the big one, master producer , genius dj, he’s been the part of the soundtrack of your life whether you know it or not.

They say you should never meet your idols - they clearly didn't know Andrew. I've torn up dance floors across Europe to his God-like sets. I've had the pleasure of going up to him for a chat (off my bin btw)and was blown away by how grounded and proper sound he was. And he remembers me months later at another gig and we drank and toked and chatted shit until he had to go on. Unforgettable. Gentleman. LEGEND. ICON. GOD (was a DJ).

We gonna miss this dude.

Love the twinkle in his eye, the cheeky grin. Absolute mad lad. We're going to miss him terribly, his nearest and dearest infinitely more. God bless 🖤

Heartbreaking passing bless Andrew great story Andrew had many stories an oracle of knowledge and wisdom his passion for music was infectious wonderful human being. We shared so many great times together in the 88-91 days Andrew brought out the best in everybody and personally a great inspiration books film art music life in general. Remember the crazy mini bus magical mystery tour to the Hacienda in 88 Andrew came along for the ride and after the night on return to London in our mini bus heaven knows how but we ended up at dawn in the Brecon Beacons and went walking in the Mountains which turned into a scene out of the Kes and One flew over the cuckoos nest combined crazy times happy days of Acid House. Love and appreciation Andrew.

Very sad news losing Andrew. One of the biggest influencers on me as a DJ, and one the best interviewees on my KISS show back in the day where he gave both me and the listeners a real musical education on the 'Defining musical moments' slot. I also booked him for club nights in Manchester and had the honour of doing the warm up for him on a few occasions, each time he was utterly brilliant and it was an utter thrill to play with him. He was utterly engaging, and a proper geezar and actually very generous to me as a young kid inviting me to his studio to hang out. As a really young man making my way in the industry, it used to fill me with pride that when I saw him at a festival or at a record shop and he'd smile and go "alright Matt" - I mean this guy produced Screamdelica and he's acknowledging me! My favourite of all the original House and Baleric DJ's. He's the greatest for me out of all the UK pioneers as he was the DJ who could put an eclectic set of tunes together and make it make total and utter sense. And,... he never sold out. The best of his generation. Even now not being part of the scene if I want to put a set on at home, he's the first guy I think of sticking on. An absolute innovator and one of a kind. An army of dance lovers and aficionados will be in mourning tonight. You will be missed Andrew. RIP fella, thanks for the good times.

R.I.P Andrew Weatherall what an amazing chap, his DJ sets are a sound track to our last 40 years for dance music...the dance floor never lies!!!! ...stay blessed for ever AW...

Brilliant interview with Andy! 👌Last time I saw him play was earlier this month at ALFOS in Salford weirdly enough. RIP Andrew, we are going to miss you 😢

KZfaq is encouraging me to listen to Wetheralls interviews and i'm learning all about the best years of underground dance culture!

God bless ...shame he never wrote a book..love his tales and radio and remixes and honesty and his grounded ness

What a beautiful human being

So sad x Rest in peace to a genius innovator; Mr Andrew Weatherall. Anecdote alert--he was DJing at a festival when two people came up to him and said “we own that record, you’re playing it at the wrong speed “ The maestro asked them how much they paid to get in, then refunded them and told them to go home. Ha! Anyone that can morph indie into dance is a genius in my book. His tattooed arms said it all… ‘Fail we may, sail we must'

Not just an excellent producer and DJ but also as these 11 minutes prove a true anthropologist and oracle of knowledge, someone should take samples of this excellent interview and use them in a set , a true House&Techno pioneer. R.I.P Andrew, your music will live forever.

RIP Andrew - you were a good man

That was an excellent 11 minutes

Love this..Bless you Andrew!!! XX

Absolutely right authenticity can't be bought nor loyalty

Not only a pioneer and musical genius. But also and more importantly, a bloody lovely bloke too. The world really is a lesser place without you. RIP maestro

I remember the nights drinking together talking bollocks in Camberley long before the day Rip buddy.

Honorary Manc! Your influence will be missed Andy. ⚔️

RIP Lord Sabre

Thank you Andrew.

Every generation should have someone like Andrew, perhaps they do? I'm happy with all that he's brought us, still ... it's desperately sad, but glad I can bear witness.

At the Arches in Glasgow, an old friend became engaged in conversation with another clubber, a southerner called Andy in the seated area. The friend was more a fan of Elvis, Irish folk music and 70's and 80's rock music, so they chatted about that, not house music. When he got round to asking what brought him north, Andy replied he was playing a set that night. As the cogs turned he asked Andy if he was the Andy Weatherall his friends friends had came to hear that evening. Andy casually said it would seem to be the case, then steered the conversation back to Elvis and the rest. By the time the friend found me in the large dark nightclub, Andy had disappeared and merged with the countless others there on that night. I'm glad it ended like that, with an air of mystery.

What a wonderful man he was. I could have been in the PSV that night. Rest in Peace

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💞🤐

King of the Remixers 🔥👑🕊

Gutted to hear he's no longer with us :(

I had a Shave your tongue tape many years ago. Any links to these tapes available ?

Nice to have a document of an honest take on an esoteric sub culture so inherent with hype.

Holy fuck he died? How did I not hear of this in nearly six months? Real shame, his mixes were often better than the original tracks.

5:47 ain't that the truth 🙂

Why is the audio only coming out of the left hand side?

There it is, if we needed proof, Manchester was first to take acid into its arms, Jon da Silva asserted this as well, rest in eternal dance my captain

8,0,8,wastage was buzz live, u went to kitchen in Hume,and senscimela from meadlok court,we did 85,12 floor even thow there no number

On the left acienda. Salford you were lucky

"Drinking beer for breakfast..."

House music all night long, and dance with the devil tunes

Blind Pete x.

Ironic that great as AW was he helped destroy the very thing that inspired him to go north in the first place,Bands.The sumami of Dance music/drug culture/sampling begat a generation where forming bands and creating scenes was phased out .no one could be arsed..Club culture became awash with drug dealers and violence.Where are the new Manchester northern bands inspired by it? There is no record industry anymore that gave life to Northern bands Ecstasy is not a creative drug.The hacienda became a dangerous place to go out..its now a block of flats.

Shroom fizzled out therefore l went up too Manchester because the acid scene was about to explode at the Hacienda l sold some ectasy there, found out the locals run the place, shit myself when they confronted me then l grovelled for forgiveness, then they let me off.
