Andrew James Weatherall (1963 –2020) was an English
musician, DJ, songwriter, producer and remixer.
His career took him from being one of the key DJs in the acid house movement of the late 1980s to being a remixer of tracks by the likes of Happy Mondays, New Order, Björk, The Orb, The Future Sound of London and My Bloody Valentine.
His production work on Primal Scream's album Screamadelica,
adding samples, loops and creating an influential mix of hard rock, house and
rave, helped the record win the first ever Mercury Music Prize in 1992 and
become one of the most celebrated albums of the 1990s.
Weatherall died on 17 February 2020 at Whipps Cross University Hospital in London, aged 56. The cause given was a pulmonary embolism.
