“Keep the books coming, keep the music coming, keep the art coming. When you think

you know everything, you can miss out on a lot. When you realise you don’t [know

everything] the floodgates come down a bit and you start following literary links and

musical links that you might not have made before. It’s a whole new parallel universe.”

Andrew Weatherall, 2015

 

Today Disco Pogo is delighted to announce A Disco Pogo Tribute To Andrew Weatherall,

a 320-page hardback that gathers everything we love about the man and his music. It is

the fourth in our hardback Tribute series – following Daft Punk, Aphex Twin and LCD

Soundsystem – and the long-overdue successor to the sold-out and hard to find Jockey

Slut Tribute To Andrew Weatherall from 2020.

 

Inside you’ll find the best of that original Jockey Slut book, plus more than 200 pages of

brand new material – fresh essays, oral histories, interviews and photography from the

writers, photographers, musicians, producers, DJs, designers and friends who knew

Andrew best.

 

The book is being published with the full blessing, approval and cooperation of the

Weatherall estate, who will also receive a share of the profits from the book.

From the fanzine kid at Boy’s Own to the producer who rewired Primal Scream and

made ‘Screamadelica’ sound like the future; through The Sabres Of Paradise, Two Lone

Swordsmen, The Asphodells and the much-loved A Love From Outer Space night and

Convenanza festival, Weatherall left behind a body of work, a sensibility and a way of

carrying yourself that is still being unpacked six years on. This is the book that tries to do

all of it justice.

 

Highlights include: an interview with Bobby Gillespie that goes beyond ‘Screamadelica’,

essays on ‘Sabresonic’, ‘Haunted Dancehall’, the Two Lone Swordsmen and his solo

releases, plus a look into his many remixes. In addition: oral histories on his early years,

A Love From Outer Space and Convenanza, an interview with Timothy J. Fairplay on

The Asphodells and a celebration of his art work and his NTS radio shows. And then

there’s the Disco Pogo Tribute regulars: a timeline, family tree, a studio gear deep dive,

discography and more…

 

Featuring interviews with Sean Johnston, David Holmes, Jagz Kooner, Leftfield, Shaun

Ryder, Chemical Brothers, Terry Farley, Dot Allison, Beth Orton, Irvine Welsh, Daniel

Avery, HAAi, Tia Cousins, Steve Mason, Richard Fearless and many more.
