Disco Pogo Announces New Andrew Weatherall Tribute Book

Electronic music magazine and book publisher, Disco Pogo, has announced A Disco Pogo Tribute To Andrew Weatherall, a 320-page hardback book about the legendary DJ and producer.

It is the fourth in their 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.

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, plus 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, including a timeline, family tree, a studio gear deep dive, and discography.

The book also promises new interviews with Keith Tenniswood, Hugo Nicolson, Sean Johnston, David Holmes, Jagz Kooner, Leftfield, Shaun Ryder, The Chemical Brothers, Terry Farley, Dot Allison, Beth Orton, Irvine Welsh, Daniel Avery, HAAi, Tia Cousins, Steve Mason, Richard Fearless and many more.

You can pre-order the book now from the Disco Pogo store and it will ship on July 15th.
