Andrew Weatherall

It's difficult to name a single figure who did more to bridge indie/alternative rock and dance music culture than Andrew Weatherall, one of the most respected DJs of all time. A staple of the British club scene since the 1980s and a co-founder of the Boys Own collective during the acid house explosion, Weatherall was responsible for landmark productions and remixes for artists such as Primal Scream, Saint Etienne, My Bloody Valentine, and many others. He co-founded the Sabres of Paradise and Two Lone Swordsmen, both acclaimed and influential acts who merged dub, left-field house, and electro. Beginning in the late '90s, Weatherall issued several unmixed compilations and DJ mixes, as well as solo releases like 2009's A Pox on the Pioneers. He continued exploring neo-psychedelia and electro-disco with later projects like the Asphodells and the Woodleigh Research Facility (who posthumously released Phonox Nights in 2023).
