Deeply saddened to hear that Andrew Weatherall has left us. One of my hero’s in music, a man who’s production and DJing has been an influence on me for many, many years. His DJ set at Christmas In Dundee was really special. A true pioneer. Safe travels sir. Godspeed. DDx. pic.twitter.com/r2QyLB8SHd

I’m really gutted to hear the awful news about Andrew Weatherall. His influence on music was incredible and he never stopped pushing forward when it’d have been easier to rest on his laurels. Most importantly though, he was a great person. Rest in peace.
