The fact that Andrew Weatherall brought aspects of post-punk, dub, acid house and soul to his remixes for some of the UK’s biggest rock bands in the late ’80s and early ’90s (Primal Scream and New Order among them) was a foretelling of how the London DJ and producer, who died on February 17, 2020, would approach his own tracks. None of Weatherall’s projects stayed firmly in one lane: His earliest studio outfit, Bocca Juniors, released only two singles, but managed to corral almost all of his (and his Boy’s Own label partners’) musical interests into a sound that owed as much to early hip-hop production as the laidback Balearic beat born in Ibiza. The Sabres of Paradise, which he formed in 1992 with Jagz Kooner and Gary Burns, explored the meeting point between acid’s squelchy arpeggiations, dub’s never-ending journey down the echo chamber, and the hypnagogic state evoked by post-rave chill-out ambient. And Two Lone Swordsmen (with Keith Tenniswood), who initially deconstructed electro-funk and techno's more pummelling tendencies, would, in the 2000s, turn their gaze back toward teasing out the rhythmic strands of post-punk. What’s fascinating about the through line of Weatherall’s studio output is that in laying bare all of dance music’s elements, he consistently found a groove tucked into some of the most unlikely places.
