“I take what I do seriously, but when some people take it too seriously it brings out the yob in me and I want to not give a shit. It makes me want to kick against it. I feel strongly about the music I’m making, but I’m not saving anyone’s life. I haven’t written a play that will last 400 years. I’ve just made a good dance record. It’s just getting it into perspective.” - Andrew Weatherall

I was thinking about gifting a copy of the ‘Soon’ #MBV #Weatherall remixes to a friend of mine and naturally went to discogs to source a copy. Long story short I have decided the original is better than the remix, it’s just that Weatherall’s remix came at a time when “indie” and “dance” were clashing together thanks to ecstasy. Listen to this beauty, it already contains everything that is great about dance music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU7tX5YJghc&t=118s

Chemical Brothers on Andy Weatherall:

"We used to get quite tongue-tied around him. I remember being in a nightclub asking him what synths he’d bought. He said: “I’m waiting for the Chekhov Warp.” Which I took to mean a new synth we hadn’t heard of. A couple of weeks later I realised he meant he was waiting for the “cheque off Warp” records to buy new equipment...."

Long read, and well worth it.

Wie traurig. Mich hat eben die Nachricht über das Verscheiden von Andrew #Weatherall erreicht. Einer der ganz alten #DJ-Veteranen, die dann doch viel zu jung von uns gegangen sind. #RA hat einen Nachruf geschrieben. A Lifelong Maverick! 🎧 https://www.residentadvisor.net/features/3621
