Luke Solomon build his foundations in the early 90s starting off behind a record counter at Stop on By in Barnet. Moving on to the legendary Freetown Records and then on to Narcotic Records for Roger Sanchez he worked in PR and promotions. During this time, he gained a residency at London’s ground breaking pirate radio station Girls FM where he met his dearly departed friend Kenny Hawkes. Together they set up the London mid-weeker Space where they invited people like Chez Damier and Derrick Carter. Meanwhile Luke had become close to Derrick Carter and together they set up the Classic Music Company which is currently enjoying a huge renaissance. Amongst all of this Luke began his studio career forming the house music duo “Freaks.” Fast forward over 25 years where Luke Solomon has been guiding the good ship Classic through a seminal year and working closely as A&R with Simon Dunmore at both Glitterbox and Defected. Over the last few years he has been cementing his position as a Producer, working with Horse Meat Disco on their forthcoming album on Glitterbox, and with Honey Dijon on her second artist album forthcoming on Classic in 2020 and writing with the legendary Kathy Sledge on brand new material. Luke has also kept his London residency status holding court at the sadly closed Savage Disco @ Metropolis and moving now to a permanent residency at XOYO in London. He also continues to work on solo music, currently enjoying success with his studio band “Powerdance.”

Lumberjacks Tapes 002: Luke Solomon

I first met Andrew Weatherall about 15 years ago when he played for us at Autodisco in Dundee. Dave Bowie, who I ran the night with, was a good friend of his. I had to pick him up at the airport and as always he turned up looking like a maverick man of style and attitude while demanding instant hashish. Half way through the journey he said something like this ‘Barrington (I had never been called this before but immediately took to it) my nicotine habit way exceeds the length of this current journey’ and I told him he was welcome to spark up. For years afterwards my kids used to say when they smelt cigarette smoke in the car, ‘has Andrew Weatherall been in town?’.
 
Weatherall played for us many times at Autodisco and then I started doing the ALFOS nights in Dundee with him and Sean. To be honest I loved what Sean did for Andrew. I think he allowed him to play a load of non-techno music that he had been wanting to express (again) for years.
 
I remember having a real promoter moment early on at the first ALFOS night in Dundee when someone was carried out of the packed dance floor around 11.30pm…I thought shit, what’s it going to be like at 3am!!!
 
As well as doing nights together in my city we spent quite a bit of time hanging out at festivals in the summer whether on sun beds in Croatia, stone boats in North Wales, caravans in Glastonbury or wherever.
 
I have to say he was one of those guys that kind of taught you how to do things properly. How to be a good guy. How to be a good DJ. I will not forget that. You always seemed to learn things around Andrew as well as laugh your tits off.
 
Anyway I am digressing…back to the current story.
 
For years as blanket-bombing digital promotion in dance music took hold, Andrew was the only guy I knew who preferred the personal touch to emails. So I used to text or call him on the blower and send him regular CDs of our latest stuff. He liked a hard copy. The stuff I sent was from the various labels we ran over the years and sometimes just random bits and pieces we made for DJing, which I thought he might like. After all Andrew playing it really meant something.
 
I called these CDs ‘Weatherall’s Bits’ which seemed to amuse him.
 
Anyway, recently during the non-stop lockdowns I have been switching my music over from an old laptop to a new one and I came across the ‘Weatherall’s Bits’ playlists on my itunes.
 
I cried when Andrew died. I heard about it at the airport and I cried. We didn’t know each other so well. But he was really kind and considerate to me as a producer, a promoter and a fellow human being. He encouraged me and always got back to me about my tracks. And he just seemed to have a real significance as a character in the generation of producers and DJs that he led by default, charisma and good taste.
 
He also did something that very few people do these days. He would pick a track out that no one else would play and he would make it his. He would play it until people got it. I loved that.
 
Anyway faced with deleting these playlists – ‘Weatherall’s Bits’ - I decided, as I hadn’t made any tribute to Andrew, to make a mix out of them. Mainly because I realised that, as often was the case with Andrew, he made me try to be better than I was. And the tracks I sent him were probably better than the ones I played. I certainly tried to send him the good stuff. If you thought Weatherall would like it then that was a good sign. And you always knew he would pick up on stuff other people would ignore.
 
I also just wanted to remember once more and it brought back a flood of memories doing this mix.
 
So here it is. This is my tribute to a lovely, funny, creative and truly inspiring man.
 
Cheers mate and thank you.

I hope you enjoy it.
