Weatherall is a natural choice for Masterpiece, Ministry Of Sound's ambitious, triple-disc mix series. He's spent decades at the heart of the UK club scene, from his early years writing for Boy's Own and DJing at Shoom to his current Thursday night residency with Sean Johnston, A Love From Outer Space. All the while he's kept his CV as eclectic as his taste in records, having done remixes and production work for Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Bjork and Fuck Buttons to name just a few, while also spearheading a gaggle of collaborative projects, most notably The Sabres of Paradise and Two Lone Swordsmen.
Masterpiece draws from many of these past experiences while keeping an eye on what Weatherall's up to these days. The mix is heavy on his own remixes (both new and old), and highlights many of his current friends and cohorts, like Soft Rocks and The Hardway Brothers. A handful of the 36 tracks come from hitherto unknown nu-disco projects, such as The Asphodells, Chida, Apiento and Craig Batley.
