«I saved up all my money and went to London at the weekend to buy records,» he told the BBC in 2014. «I just got a really good record collection together to the point where people started to say ‚Why don’t you play this at our party?‘, ‚Why don’t you play this at our club?’»

«I’m really gutted to hear the awful news about Andrew Weatherall,» Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite wrote on Twitter. «His influence on music was incredible and he never stopped pushing forward when it’d have been easier to rest on his laurels. Most importantly though, he was a great person.»

He worked extensively as a DJ and producer and was a member of the groups Sabres of Paradise and the duo Two Lone Swordsmen, but there’s little question that his most influential work was as a producer of Primal Scream’s groundbreaking 1991 album «Screamadelica,» a pioneering fusion of rock sounds and sensibilities with the burgeoning electronic dance music of the era. Its sprawling influence can be heard in acts like the Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk, and it has become part of the foundation of contemporary dance music.
