ANDREW WEATHERALL (April 6, 1963 – February 17, 2020)

Sad to hear of the sudden passing of England's ANDREW WEATHERALL. He was an innovative musician, DJ, songwriter, producer and remixer who was still active! In fact one of the tracks featured in this show is; at the time of initial airing a 'new release!'. His career took him from being one of the important DJs in the British acid house movement of the late 1980s to being a remixer of tracks by artists like HAPPY MONDAYS, PSYCHIC TV, NEW ORDER, Björk, THE ORB, JAH WOBBLE'S INVADERS OF THE HEART, YELLO, MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO, THE FUTURE SOUND OF LONDON, SLY AND LOVECHILD, ST. ETIENNE, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, S-EXPRESS, THE FINITRIBE, SLAB and the WOLFGANG PRESS. As a producer, his work with PRIMAL SCREAM was award winning. He also released various impressive solo efforts that offered a range of different genres and musical temperatures. His contribution to the CHILL/AMBIENT genre is legendary. Many sources celebrate him for being a vital part of several acts. The most important of which were THE SABRES OF PARADISE, THE WOODLEIGH RESEARCH FACILITY and TWO LONE SWORDSMEN. Yet then again, it is really a matter of opinion. There is an astronomical range of opinions about ANDREW WEATHERALL! The scope of his ongoing influence is undeniable.
