Come Hither, Come Weatherall

The third and final - and conversely the first - mix from the London Xpress promo CD given away with NME in June 2000, this time featuring the legendary Andrew Weatherall.

 

A pulsing, funky mix of electronica and a further evidence of Andrew's consummate skill in finding a mix that just lands so well, whether a two-plus hour set or, as here, half a dozen songs in under half an hour.

 

Most of these were pretty much new music at the time, several lifted from EPs, a couple from albums and the Lali Puna track I believe being exclusive to this mix. It's a cracking selection and sets the bar high for the two mixes to follow, both of which amply rise to the challenge. 

Don't take my word for it though, you can find the mixes by Harvey and David Holmes here and here.

 

1) Tophapy: Plaid (2000)
2) Hard Drive Dub: Burnt Friedman & The Nu Dub Players (1999)
3) Daydreaming Disaster: John Tejada (1999)
4) Supernatural (You're So): Steve Stoll (1999)
5) Stokers Motor: 7 Hurtz (2000)
6) Everywhere All Over: Lali Puna (2000)
