Andrew Weatherall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Weatherall (b. 1963-04-06, Windsor, England) is a DJ, producer, and remixer. His seven known Bloodsugar DJ sets have played a huge role in commercialising minimalist house music.
Starting off with his work alongside seminal DJ Paul Oakenfold on the Hallelujah remix for the Happy Mondays, Weatherall entered the fray of the indie-rock and acid-house stylings of Madchester. Other pivotal remixes followed, including World In Motion by New Order and Loaded, a hit remix of Primal Scream's earlier track I'm Losing More Than I'll Ever Have. He joined fellow scenesters Terry Farley and Pete Heller to form the Boy's Own DJ-collective. Along with engineer Hugo Nicholson and singer Anna Haigh, they released two singles as Bocca Juniors on Boys Own Records:Raise (53 Steps to Heaven) and the lesser known Substance. His much sought after remix treatments graced the likes of Bananarama, Saint Etienne, James and My Bloody Valentine, and he followed this up with his Svengali-esque work with One Dove.
He created the band Sabres of Paradise, and has produced artists like Beth Orton, Primal Scream (acknowledged for his pivotal role on Screamadelica) and One Dove. He has done remixing work for Björk, The Orb, New Order, My Bloody Valentine and many others. In early 1996, Weatherall formed Two Lone Swordsmen with studio engineer Keith Tenniswood.
