Renowned knob-twiddler for Primal Scream and Fuck Buttons, and remixer of countless others, Andrew Weatherall is the seminal DJ of the last 20 years of dance music. Whether spinning a genre-leaping set or relaying his own tunes, the man can do no wrong!
One of the guys behind the seminal Boys Own record label; the almighty tastemaker that has compiled some of the most iconic releases of the last 15 years (9 O'Clock Drop on Nuphonic anyone?); the man that took Primal Scream and changed their sound and the sound of London clubbing and changed it for the better, for ever. Or the cool remixer of the 90s - for everyone from My Bloody Valentine to Bjork.
The producer that has made some of the most talked about cult releases that were widely listened to. From the Sabres Of Paradise to Two Lone Swordsmen and is now releasing under his own name and the killer "Andrew Weatherall Vs The Boardroom" releases on his label that he's been running since 2001 - The Rotters Golf Club.
The DJ that plays all the big clubs for all the big names - from Danny Rampling's legendary 90s Shoom night (pretty much where Acid House started) to Robert Johnston's in Frankfurt a couple of weeks ago, Andrew Weatherall is the DJ everyone amazing turns to when they want to call in a good head fucking.
He is still one of the most in-demand DJs in the world, already booked to headline the Electric Elephant, Croatia in 2012 and set to release his next artist album over the next months - there is no slowing down or changing tact for Weatherall, he will always be the true champion of the modern underground even if he dresses like he's from the 1800s!
Andrew Weatherall is joined by Neville Watson (Dissident/Clone/Rush Hour) who has also been at the forefront of the UK scene for over two decades delivering deep, raw, jacking house.
You may be most familiar with his name through his collaborations with Bulgarian housemeister KiNK, but there is a lot more to Neville Watson then some of the best goddamn records ever made.
After the obligatory few years partying in clubs, warehouses and fields he took up DJ'ing and opened the Mighty Atom record shop and label in Windsor. This path would ultimately lead to infamous Acid House disco Checkpoint Charlie where he was to became resident DJ alongside Mat Carter, sharing the bill with the likes of Laurent Garnier, Andrew Weatherall, Colin Dale, Craig Richards, Slam and many more.
In 2006 Mighty Atom released its final 12". Since then Neville has concentrated on releasing his own brand of deep, raw and jacking House on labels such as Clone and Dissident, as well as Rush Hour, Poker Flat, Tiny Sticks and Mule with KiNK.
As a DJ Neville has played far and wide from sweaty basements in London and Moscow to the walls of an abandoned prison in Tallinn, visiting the main floors of Twilo, Berghain and Panorama Bar along the way.
Late Night In The Bar: Tamas Jones (Hey Convict!)
With the PICNIC crew in charge you can be sure this'll be a late one. Champion of all things disco-rock and one half of the internationally renowned Hey Convict! duo, Tamas Jones will be picking up where Neville Watson leaves off. Wide-eyed disco drama, psychedelic guitars tied together by the taught heartbeat of house music. His DJ sets are never the same thing twice, yet always a good time.
