The full Weatherall mix, which spans multiple electronic genres, was uploaded to X on Saturday (April 5) by Manchester-based rave archivist DorkSirjur. It was recorded in May 1997 at Voodoo – a storied club night hosted at Liverpool venue Clear.
According to Mixmag, Liverpool night Voodoo began in 1993, with regular events hosted on the first floor of the nightclub Clear on Mount Pleasant. House and techno DJs and artists from all over the world played at the venue.
“Another set from this icon now, 28 years ago in a rarer set,” the DorkSirjur wrote in the caption next to the mix. “This is the full 90 minutes, that opening fucking hell. Just an incredible DJ, producer and artist, sorely missed by all.”

In the NME obituary of Weatherall, who died in 2020 from a pulmonary embolism, Mark Beaumont wrote: “For many he will be remembered as a figure of enlightenment, opening doors and shattering barriers to wake young minds to the wide-reaching possibilities of dance music. His lingering message remains: don’t fight it, feel it.”
In 2022, Weatherall‘s remixes for Heavenly Recordings were compiled on a new album. Divided into two parts, ‘Heavenly Remixes 3 – Andrew Weatherall Volume 1’ and ‘Heavenly Remixes 4 – Andrew Weatherall Volume 2’, the collection includes the Scottish DJ, producer, and artist’s mixes of original songs by Mark Lanegan, Saint Etienne, The Orielles, and Doves.
A short film telling the story behind Weatherall’s mantra ‘Fail We May, Sail We Must’ was also released. The film, directed by Trevor Whelan and Rua Meegan of Grizzly and produced by Dublin-based creative agency The Tenth Man, travels from London to Ireland to tell the story.
“We can’t thank those closest to Andrew enough for allowing us to create this film,” said Eric Davidson of The Tenth Man. “This is a celebration of club culture, dance music, and the cultural ties that bind us all together. But more importantly, it’s a celebration of a once-in-a-generation artist, Andrew Weatherall.”
