Andrew Weatherall (b. 1963-04-06, Windsor,
England)
is a DJ, producer,
and remixer.
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 sounds 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 Junior Boy's Own. 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.
He formed the dub trio Sabres
of Paradise in 1993, and promoted the legendary Bloodsugar and
Sabresonic warehouse raves. In early 1996, after shutting down
Sabresonic, Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood became Two
Lone Swordsmen signing to Warp Records label and setting up Rotters
Golf Club for their own dancefloor-orientated work.
Weatherall has produced such artists as Beth
Orton, Primal Scream (acknowledged for his pivotal role on Screamadelica)
and One
Dove and has remixed the work of Björk, The Orb, New
Order, My Bloody Valentine, Bananarama,
Saint
Etienne, James and many others.
In late 2006, he finally released his debut solo single The
Bullet Catcher's Apprentice on Rotters
Golf Club.
