“Self medication, drinking, drugs is about suppressing your feelings and subconscious “... “when you stop it the doors unlock”. This is so accurate and well explained. Very touching.

But not long before that he said the drugs were all about transcendence. It's just escapism with delusions of grandeur.
Came up on my first pill listening to Andy Weatherall play, late in '88... truly one of the pivotal moments of my life. RIP mate... you will be missed.
Andy Weatherall has been such a massive inspiration to so many of mine and other acid house London 80's bods. He is just pure magic. From his early Shoom days to Sabresonic, all his remix work and introducing oddball leftfield tunes to others. He never ever sold out, never went up his own arse and comes across as such a genuine decent fella. Really such a gift and pleasure to know of him and follow his progress. He is so loved and such an asset to us. Can't compliment him enough really.
I’ve come back to this due to Andrew’s passing as this really does show what a delightfully interesting and interested human he was. Marvellously witty, a real loss to the planet.
R.I.P Andrew Weatherall and thanks for all the musical memories. A true maverick.
'way cooler than YOU' taunted the journalists. 'Not us, mind..but you.' One thing Andrew Weatherall was effortlessly cooler than was the UK music press. He ran rings around every frustrated-DJ/producer journalist wannabe in every interview. He could do your job blindfolded. But you struggled to keep up with even one of his jobs.
Weatherall was a pillar of early rave culture. A crucial part of the soul of underground dance music. RIP

I'll never forget having the Two Lone Swordsmen The 5th Estate album and not really getting it, so unlike anything I'd heard before being 18 in 96. Imagine my delight on the first time I'd taken magic mushrooms returning home and putting it on randomly and being transported to a world of sounds, each track it's own biosphere of undulating sonics, each moment a new surprise to the senses. Flash forward 24 years and it's a peculiar, idiosyncratic piece of art that I'll forever hold dear to my heart. RIP AW.
Every time I see another of his interviews I like him that little bit more. His humility is quite staggering when you consider how he is lauded. I can't imagine him referring to himself as Acid House Royalty likes other do. Arise, Sir Andrew of Weatherall.
RIP. Thanks for everything. You made our lives better.
I’ve learnt more about artistry in the last two days of researching Andrew Weatherall than I have in the last two years Thanks to the gods of KZread for the access to his wisdom 🙌
i love his polite english mannerisms -- even when he's talking about telling someone to fuck off!! class chap.
Have mixed for ten years. Saw the cat in Glasgow in 2007 play a small club... actually played what I viewed at the time as "slowed down full on psytrance." Actually one of the most inspiring mixes for my own development, musically, ever. Stunning.
RIP Andrew (witherspoon) Weatherall (or not lol) (6 April 1963 - 17 February 2020.) Absolutely one of the most talented, sweetest, wittiest gentleman I've ever met!...... from Paz Pooba and all Ex Pelican associates and clubbers from Aberdeen Scotland.

What a sad loss, a fine figure of a man and an inspirational galaxy of ideas and energy. What a dude. RIP man.
i Still can’t get my head around the fact that we have Lost Andrew Weatherall. Sunday Night was woz one of my Best Nights out back in the 1990’s & SHAVE YER TONGUE in Simpson’s Night Club in Bracknell was a major experience. So it was always a Great thing to see Andy Weatherall on the flyer for the next Sunday & he always delivered the musical Goodies With Some fu’kin Bang’in Tracks that Nobody had ever heard before until our mr Weatherall played them . . Thanks Andy, you created some of the happiest nights of my Life. it’s such a shame that you are No Longer with us because you had so much more Left to give us. i was Looking in the comments section of the Andrew Weatherall Red Bull interview & i was disgusted to see people slagging Lord Sabre off since he sadly passed away. Anyone reading this should get on there and give them a piece of your mind because it’s totally unnecessary and disrespectful to Slag off one of the Nicest & most talented musicians of our generation. . Rest in Power Andrew, Gone but Never Forgotten. The Legacy you left never will be lost, Will keep the flame bright whatever the cost, Now you’ve joined the greats in a better place, On our lives is an indelible trace. Until that time comes when we meet again, I’ll take pride in the fact I can call you friend. I know I can’t be as great as you were. Your memory and strength is my only spur
Never met him, only saw him DJ live once. But for some reason the legend is in my thoughts every day and feel compelled to listen to his music, watch interviews, listen to mixes. Listening to his interviews is up there with the most inspiring things you can do. RIP King.
He was my Bob Ross. Rest Easy, Legend 🖤
RIP. Brought joy to millions.
Art on many levels, a true craftsman.
This guy is the reason so many indie kids became dance music converts. He's a great guy, approachable, interesting and funny and still makes great, interesting music. I've seen him DJ loads of times, always excellent, on the decks he is unbeatable.

One of the few folk to support Genesis P Orridge ( Psychic TV) back in 1991 when he had to relocate to the USA, due to the damaging Dispatches documentary which levelled accusations that proved untrue. Andy financially helped Gen when loadsa so called friends refused. Great guy, much respect.

jazuk81 He is a great guy, I knew he was into TG and PTV but I never knew he actually reached out to help. I don't know what the situation with Gen is now, it was a witch hunt, literally, that had him flee the UK. I know he's been back in the last couple of years but is still based in the States.

Hi Anton, yep. It was on either a blog or interview by Gen, he/she mentioned Andy being one of the few to stand up and be counted when the going got tough. It just shows that help sometimes comes from unexpected quarters at times. Always like some of Andys stuff but he went way high n my expectations after that.

jazuk81 I've met Andy a few times when he used to DJ at the 'Herbal Tea Party' in Manchester back in the 90s. Very down to earth and very funny. I just remembered, I think the first release on Andy's Sabres Of Paradise label was a TG track. The good thing with Gen is that people are finally realising he was stitched up, I never saw the programme condemning him but I heard a lot about it and being familiar with TOPY material I can imagine what they put together. Some of those video images shown out of context and without explanation created the fear those producers wanted. I bet they never mentioned anything to do with Gen's philanthropic side.

Anton Haq 1991, i'm sitting there with my girlfriend, she had been a goth but was slowly becoming(mutating) into a born again Christian, that's bad enough, then this docu comes on, like you correctly say, total stitch up, satanic abuse etc all the usual bullshit attributed to TOPY and other groups/cults etc. She freaked out, gave me an ultimatum of getting rid of my Punk records and TG/PTV stuff and to change my appearance, I had dreads at the time, plus Gen had the dreads then too so she freaked more. Needless to say I got rid of her, but the following day it got worse. My friends who had been into TG/PTV etc had kinda believed this programmes accusations, one of my friends got attacked the following week due to his Psychic TV cross on his leather jacket, he painted over it. Years later after Scotland Yard raided Gens house the programme makers were discredited bigtime, despite loadsa Gens personal stuff still not bein returned. There's an actual list online of everything the police seized from Gens house and there's not one thing that could support the obvious underlying accusations that the UK Media were trying to make. Years later, the self proclaimed 'guardians of the moral order' the tories etc are being exposed for exactly what they tried to pin on TG and TOPY etc. Now, my friends regret ditching their TG/PTV records and have realised that the man is a total genius and not the devils disciple that they thought they'd been following. Back to the 'Dispatches' documentary, I do have it on a disc somewhere, god knows where as my spare room is covered in vinyl, dvds, cassettes etc, but if I find it i'd try to burn you a copy. Respect to you Anton.
Weatherals epic ten plus minute mix of FSOL Papua New Guinea is probably the most beautiful piece of music ever created

...he then introduced me to Pete Heller. I was a real vinyl house geek so meeting him was a real joy. I also took home loads of records just 'hanging around' that they couldn't be arsed to throw away....loads of rare remixes. I left to go home very stoned and arms full of records....that's still my armchair xmas story to this day, much to the boredom of my relatives!

So much more to give. Fail we may, Sail we must. RIP AW
What a guy. Made my youth seem almost...liveable!
One of the best human beings ever, a talented musician and artist but a really lovely sweet man that is sorely missed, I saw him DJing at David Holmes club in Belfast about 4 months before his passing and it was a great experience, RIP.
Intelligence, integrity, creativity, lack of pretension, and a pure love of music. You'll be missed. RIP Andy.
That carving has to be the most satisfying sound ever
I remember him playin out at the on u sound christmas party in brixton. early 90s. sleng teng riddim, continuous, fooking diffrent class.
Rest in peace, sir!
Love his modesty and the way he takes his time to respond eloquently. RIP
finding transcendence through repetitive beats, perfectly put
Great to see the master crafting, and hear his friendly honest conversation. Will be missed. Thanks for this interview, THUMP.

he's so brilliantly funny and "on the money" - love it!
The Asphodells. Great music.
I was in the same room as the maestro a couple of years ago thanks to my daughter and I'm convinced he threw down the opening title track of the Warriors movie which completely denuded me of all my hitherto anxieties about being too old to be in a room with a lot of young uns. The bullet catchers apprentice indeed. Cheers mate
"if I went to a pop concert to see what it was like" my hero
Thought the title was a bit cheeky, then realised, yes, he is cooler than me.
A King. A champion. A gentleman - what an amazing and lovely guy. Musical heaven for you sir. 🙏🎶👑
Blown away. We always hit mutual grounds in the cosmic groove but to now hear his words and know we both lived in the same place of humility and eloquence mind he is so far ahead of me. Wish I could have nattered with him once but jyst a wish. All that can be said is the guy literally changed music with humility. Will be more than misssed . Play on in outer spaqce with love . R.I.P Geni
Arrrgh I love him so much.
Recently seen Andrew Weatherall do a 6 hour set at The Garage Leeds, By far the best set I have ever witnessed. Absolute Legend this guy. It was Pumping.
great video. total legend.
listened n danced when he was first starting out
Thanks for brightening up my life Andrew
im gutted I only got to see Andy DJ once, but I won't ever forget it, its down as one of the best nights I've been to. RIP
Back in the day when I would pick up albums, a Weatherall mix was an instant purchase. Legend.
Rest in peace x
I love the way he thinks in relative terms of all things
It's 'One Minute's Silence', you can buy it from the Rotters Golf Club homepage
I used to go down Acid House gigs in New Cross when I was a teenager
Still can't believe it. RIP Andrew. Heart completely broken.

@@nightowl7459 There’s a song called ‘Fail we may, sail we must’. Is that something you’ve lived by? I suppose so. That was handily capsulated by a fisherman I met in County Cork. This young lad picked me up for the gig and he was 21 and was a trawlerman. He wanted to know about the glamourous world of DJing, to which I said, It’s bollocks, it’s discos, tell me about tales of the sea. He told me about being 18 in a force nine gale, his father, the captain, broke his leg so he had to captain the ship. I was thinking, I couldn’t even look after myself at that age let alone a trawler boat in a force 9 gale. I asked him, Are there times when you get up in the morning and you can’t be arsed? And he said, fail we may, sail we must. Which led to me spending hundreds of pounds and a lot of pain having it tattooed up the sides of my arms. I’ve got a pretty good work ethic and sometimes you have a heavy night and want to phone in poorly but if this guy can captain a ship in a force 9 gale I’m sure I can get up and spend two hours in a disco.
