Legend. RIP

Very sad, had the pleasure of supporting him a couple of times-really nice bloke, down to earth and an encyclopedic knowledge of music, a true talent and giant of the electronic music scene

I read a while back Haunted Dancehall is the official music to be played on loop on BBC in case of a national emergency in the UK. If you hear it on constant rotation you know something bad has happened.
If I heard Haunted Dancehall on constant rotation, then all would be good in the world

RIP Andrew Weatherall

Such terrible news, really can't believe it. Some of my fondest memories of discovering dance music in the early 90s include getting lost in mixes by Mr Weatherall. Right up to only a few years ago with his Masterpiece 3xCD mix, he always had a nack for selecting the perfect tracks, many of which were from all corners of the world... I actually keep that mix in my car at all times, a mix I often revisit and consider up there with some of the very best.

RIP - an absolute legend and a massive contributor to a scene many of us have loved for several decades now. End of an era.

Bizarrely I was randomly listening to one of his mixes when a mate texted me to tell me he'd died, but maybe that was Mixcloud algorithm throwing him up because people were searching him as news broke? If not its a little weird!

Absolute icon for at least two generations of people into club culture, culture generally, dance music and more or less any music, and will be for generations to come. A music lover's music lover. He seems to have had an incredible ability to understand what make a track tick, strip it down and re-construct it.

Interesting mix of many of his early productions here with a few less well known obscurities:

Also found myself watching a couple of his interviews on Youtube in the last few weeks for some reason, very interesting guy with a great turn of phrase. Unfortunately they have cut the tracks from the interview, presumably due to licencing, real shame as I'd like to hear the mixes he's talking about:

Show his talents as a wood cutter in this one:

I just found out ... reading David Holmes's tribute on social media. there was always something intriguing about Weatherall, even if I grew up on the other side of Europe; RIP, Maestro.

PS: pulmonary embolism appears to have triggered this premature passing

I don't think I'll ever hear Screamadelica in it's youthful multi-colour again. You don't know what you've lost till it's gone.

This might not be for everyone, but worth a look.
