6 Mix, Andrew Weatherall2014032120230404 (6M)Another chance to hear Andrew Weatherall's 6 Mix from 2014. Andrew's name was one of the most widely regarded in British electronic music by those who have helped define it - Terry Farley, Paul Oakenfold and New Order to name a few.

Beginning his career as a journalist and starting the 'Boy's Own' fanzine, he met Danny Rampling while DJing in North London and was invited to be a resident at his legendary Shoom nights. His reputation continued to grow and as a producer he remixed tracks for the likes of Bjork and Manic Street Preachers, has released his own tracks on various labels including Warp, and along with Primal Scream won the first ever Mercury Music Prize for 'Screamadelica'.

To mark what would have been Andrew Weatherall's 60th birthday, 6 Music presents an Artist Collection on the influential and much-missed DJ and producer.

We kick off with another chance to hear Andrew talking in 2011 to Matt Everitt about the musical milestones of his life.

While some DJs emerged out of the early house movement to settle into a comfortable and predictably lucrative careers as superclub-orientated superstar DJs, Andrew Weatherall always followed his own musical compass.

Andrew discusses his career from the first track he ever DJ'd (the WWII War film theme 633 Squadron) onto his residency at the UK's earliest acid house club Shoom. He also talks about producing Primal Scream's genre-breaking Screamadelica and his later work delving into the darker side of vintage rock 'n' roll and techno.

This interview features the humour, style and impeccable musical choices that one would expect from one of contemporary music's most innovative and original figures, who is much missed. First broadcast in March 2011.
