A Love from Outer Space (Sean Johnston)

Casting the power of the eternal hypnotic groove far and wide – and navigating everywhere from the psychedelic excesses of kosmiche to gnarled house, cabinet shaking dub and rain soaked post punk in the process- A Love from Outer Space has, since 2010, been a steadying anchor on the underground, sustaining one of the most dedicated communities around with regular dancefloor epiphanies.

Founded by the late Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnston – friends, acid house veterans and fearless sonic adventurers - ALFOS was, initially, the result of a shared love of slower paced sounds.

Dub - in particular, the skewed glory of the On U Sound Records back catalogue – and seedy slow motion disco were particular obsessions, and the seeds for ALFOS were cultivated on a series of late night car journeys.

Travelling the length and breadth of our scissored isle driving to and from gigs, the pair sound-tracked these nocturnal B-road sessions with a plethora of slower sonic wonders.
