The special edition translucent red vinyl album of “A Love From Outer Space” compiled by Sean Johnston, is a true collector’s item celebrating 15 years of unique music and the invaluable legacy of an iconic musical project.
Since 2010, A Love From Outer Space (ALFOS) has made its mark on the underground scene by offering a hypnotic alternative to the frenzy of the mainstream dance floor. Founded by Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnston, the ALFOS project was born from a clear philosophy: slow down the tempo and prioritize an immersive atmosphere. With sets that never exceed 122 BPM, ALFOS created a distinctive sonic experience, fusing genres as diverse as kosmische Musik, house music, dub, and post-punk. Initially launched in small London clubs, ALFOS gradually gained international recognition, gathering a loyal community of fans seeking alternative and intense vibes.
For those unfamiliar with them, Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnston are two iconic figures in electronic music.
Andrew Weatherall was a legendary British producer, DJ, and remixer known for his visionary approach to electronic music and his rejection of convention. His journey began in the 1980s, when he was part of the nascent acid house scene in the UK. His breakthrough came with the production of “Screamadelica” (1991), the legendary album by Primal Scream, in which he fused psychedelic rock and dance music, revolutionizing British music. Weatherall was also a genius remixer, reworking tracks by artists as diverse as New Order, Björk, and My Bloody Valentine, infusing them with a new electronic dimension.
DJ and producer Sean Johnston has been passionate about alternative electronic music since the 1980s. He has worked as a sound engineer and producer, exploring diverse styles from house music to experimental techno.
Before ALFOS, Johnston was already active in the electronic scene and established himself as a connoisseur of cosmic and hypnotic sounds. His love of slow, progressive musical textures naturally aligned with Weatherall’s vision.
Weatherall and Johnston’s partnership gave birth to a musical institution that continues to inspire DJs and producers around the world. A Love From Outer Space isn’t just a clubbing project; it’s a sonic manifesto, a radically different approach to electronic music that profoundly transformed the underground scene.
