Brother Sean always cooks up something special for the Friday night ritual in the Temple of Gnostic Sonics. In order to celebrate the 15-year anniversary of the iconic UK club night and project , Sean released “A Love From Outer Space”, the best compilation of 2025 (with Princess P’s “Infinite Sonore”- See below). Volume 2 is coming soon.
The epiphany came when the late Andrew Weatherall found himself in a bookshop, picked up a random book, and opened it up to find an eye-catching illustration of a man wearing a blindfold. Andrew — a man widely regarded as one of the UK’s most prized selectors, DJs, producers, and all-around giants of the underground — approached seasoned DJ/producer and Hardway Bros member Sean Johnston with the image. This illustration would become the logo for their new moniker and coveted club night: A Love From Outer Space (ALFOS).
Through their shared love of the slowed-down rhythms of new beat, knotty disco, kosmische, speaker-shaking dub, and slothful psychedelic music, Andrew and Sean started the project back in 2010 with the uninhibited and unassuming attitude of simply playing the music they want to play. What started as a simple dance floor gathering amongst mates quickly turned into one of the UK’s most storied and singular club nights. The event would go on to garner a fiercely loyal and cult-like dance floor community of individuals who love adventurous sets that never dip above 122 BPM and for those who resonate with the ALFOS ethos: body music for discerning musical ears, first and foremost.
