Horse Meat Disco - 05 January 2020

This is a radio documentary I hosted in 2000 when we were promoting The Loft compilations David and I produced for Nuphonic. It features interviews with David, Alex Rosner and Francois K and of course, some great Loft classics. The doc was broadcast on XFM and was produced by my friend Chris Menist. I am somewhat embarrassed by my old presenting style (LOL!) but hey it was twenty years ago and I hope I have progressed since then ;). In any case, it's wonderful to hear David's voice and his own words and I hope you will enjoy this as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Loft. Love Saves the Day!

Welcome to this very special Word Is Love show paying tribute to the late Andrew Weatherall and his remixes that he did for Factory Records on what would have been Tony Wilson's 70th birthday 20.02.20.

Featuring Andrew Weatherall remixed tracks by New Order, Primal Scream, Happy Monday's, The Grid, The Doves, James, K-Klass, The Future Sound Of London and The Orb plus a whole host of ace remixes.

A young Weatherall, just like many of us, was seduced by the sleazy and funky sounds coming out of Factory Records and the Hacienda during it's hey day. The mix showcases Andrew's Factory Records remixes and his remixed tracks popular at the Hacienda, plus a few very special Weatherall remixes thrown in and thrown down for good measure.

All tracks are selected and mixed by @thefunkassassin with an enormous amount of Love & deepest Respect.

Happy 70th Birthday Tony Wilson I sincerely hope Weatherall is playing a set like this to you up in the Heaven's.

And to Mr Weatherall, I'm going to miss you you talented bugger! 

Peace and God Bless you both.

François Kevorkian’s is a truly New York story. Moving to the city from France in 1975, with a plan to become a great jazz drummer, he accidentally hustled his way into a gig playing live drums alongside one of the city’s greatest ever DJs – and from there, there was no looking back.
Spending his free time buying records, shopping mixtapes to club owners and constructing Scotch-taped re-edits of the era’s hottest tunes on a reel-to-reel recorder, he quickly established himself as a talent behind both the turntables and the mixing desk.
This led to a meeting at Prelude Records that would prove pivotal for the emerging disco scene, kickstarting a production career that began with remixing Musique’s smash hit “In The Bush” and has included everyone from Arthur Russell to Mick Jagger.
Enjoy one of his classic house output for Back to Basic in Leeds back in '96!
