Spawned in the era of warehouse raves The Sabres of Paradise were lauded as the pioneers of a new wave of dance / electronica. Formed in 1992 The Sabres, originally a studio partnership of Andrew Weatherall, Jagz Kooner and Gary Burns, were prolific at remixing artists including Bjork, Leftfield and New Order before signing Warp Records to concentrate on their own sound. In 1993 they released their debut LP ‘Sabersonic’ with NME including it in their albums of the year. The album featured Smokebelch I, a timeless piece of blissful Balearic joy with the ethereal Smokebelch II - Beatless Mix being featured on countless "Chill Out" comps.
The Sabres' Haunted Dancefloor LP followed in 1994 with the NME listing it in their top albums. The LP featured a collaboration with Portishead while other tracks were remixed by Depth Charge, LFO, Nightmares On Wax and The Chemicals Brothers. Along with Kooner and Burns, The Sabres Live band consisted of Richard Thair (Red Snapper), Phil Mossman (LCD Soundsystem) and Nick Abnett (The Aloof) while Weatherall would support as the tour DJ.
Weatherall's untimely passing in 2020 brought renewed attention to his musical legacy and significant influence as a producer, subsequently The Sabres once again found themselves in the spotlight. Now, 30’ish years on from the band’s seminal LP releases and the original touring band are back on the road helping to cement Andrew’s legacy bringing the Sabres’ sound to new audiences and old fans alike.
