The First Time with Andrew Weatherall

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.
