On The Floor! - Live at Hare and Hounds, Birmingham - Pt 1

Andrew Weatherall

Rotters Golf Club, London

Andrew Weatherall has worn a lot of hats in his career: Pop-star producer, Balearic figure-head, electronic experimentalist, peerless explorer of the minimal techno sound, rockabilly enthusiast and the original moody DJ. His history goes back to the beginning of the British acid house scene having swung gigs for himself at Danny Rampling's legendary Shoom night, his connections with the original Boys Own record label (and fanzine) led to artist releases, remixes and a string of legendary London clubs such as Blood Sugar, Circulation, and of course Sabresonic. It was through Primal Scream that Andrew first made his name however, as the producer of the generation defining Screamadelica album, which fused narcotically challenged rock and acid house. Andrew's collaborations with the radioactive Keith Tenniswood as Sabres of Paradise and later Rotters Golf club were only marginally less influential whilst his more recent work has seen him take more and more inspiration from the rock and roll music that he has harboured as a passion for all these years. Still spinning records across the globe, Mr Weatherall was on deep four-to-the floor form when he played to an intimate and packed Hare and Hounds in June 2009 and we were lucky enough to capture his set exclusively for RBMA radio. This is Part one of two On The Floor specials with one of the godfathers of the acid house revolution so turn the lights down and enjoy...
