Nightclubbing At Home

Back to June 2001 and the last of Andrew Weatherall's Bloodsugar mixes, which had kicked off with a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix in October 1996.
 
A 14-track, CD-length mix, it seems to represent a recent trip to Germany, as Weatherall's DJ bag is chock full of up-to-the minute German 12" singles and albums, with the occasional US import from the likes of Carl Craig aka Paperclip People and Gerard Hanson aka Convextion. 
 
Just the tonic for those long days, weeks and months spent at home for the past couple of years. I think it's fair to say that my clubbing days are now continually receding into the past but, every now and then, the urge for a solo at-home disco is irresistible.

    Top quality sounds from star to finish. The Bloodsugar stuff is so intense and for essentially minimal music there's so much going on. The Climax is beyond brilliant. Vividly recall hearing it played in a club in the 90s.

      To my regret, I'd kind of lost touch a little with Andrew Weatherall's output at this point. I loved Two Lone Swordsmen's Tiny Reminders album and followed some of the remixes, but had lost track of his other projects and definitely won't have had access to the Bloodsugar mixes until a few years later, with my dial up (!) internet connection and lengthy wait to download each one. Worth the wait though, this one no exception. As you say, essentially minimal but so much going on.
