SEAN JOHNSTON ALFOS HOUGHTON 22

Clandestino 178 - ALFOS / Sean Johnston

Today marks what would have been the Guv'nor's 60th birthday.

As a little nod to the late great Andrew Weatherall we've re-sharing an old mix of his alongside Sean Johnston, recorded in the lead up to Electric Elephant 11 years ago, which was only previously available on Mixcloud.

This came just a year into the duo's journey as ALFOS and their now infamous project which Andrew described as “an oasis of slowness in a world of increasing velocity”.

A solid slice of oompty boompty music to see you into the weekend. Stick it on and raise a glass to the chairman!

Recorded live from our electronic jaunt into space earlier this year, the sounds of Rinny from a superb 2 hour warm up set of the finest slo-mo & acid house chug which perfectly set the scenes of what was an incredible night.

An endless supporter of ALFOS and Sprechen, Rinny is bloody brilliant and its always a pleasure to hear her behind the decks where she is as much a star as when she's on the other side making moves on the dance floor.

We return to The Yard, Dec 28th for some end of year action of an earlier setting from 4pm - 10pm...ticket waiting list is open now and already getting hefty: https://skiddle.com/e/38091220

¨The Man has just finished burning, it’s time to gently start the groove.
i’ve been selecting music for this moment for the past few weeks but i’m still unsure of what to come up with… opening the night is like starting on a blank canva. i open with a poem of Dylan Thomas, as i did the first time i played the Mayan Warrior in 2019, then these few dub techno tracks i’ve been obsessed with lately… more and more people are coming, i love how we’re dancing in this such unique « burning man way » out there on the playa. i’ll take a deep breath for a couple track and ready to lift-off !! a dust storm arrives… what a time to be alive!!
Thank you fellow burners and wonderful warriors for creating this dusty paradise !!¨

The bond between Sprechen & the Idaho based duo Causeway (Allison Rae & Marshall Watson) has been steadily building over recent time with various message & props to each other as well Allie providing outstanding vocals on The Thief Of Time release last year.

With previous releases on Italians Do It Better (one of our fave labels!) they are now front & centre on Sprechen with their latest single 'Dancing With Shadows', a pulsating piece of hefty synth style action which precedes their forthcoming long player.

The single is a sonic exploration of the duo's expansive musical palate which cites influences from contemporaries such as The Cure & New Order (and even John Hughes movies!) but with a presence that is 100% unique to Causeway. Stripped back instrumentation and stacked synths create a dreamlike soundscape where Allison's vocal becomes the guiding light and provider of additional emotion on this neon soaked journey.

Dancing With Shadows comes across like a main track from the sequel to Drive that we never got (though we live in hope!), cinematic, stunning and a real plentiful taster of what is to come on their album next year.

Remixes take the track into other dysfunctional disco realms with Marshall himself providing a pumped up club mix that cranks everything from the OG up to 11 on the 'chunk-o-meter'. Whilst Sprechen's very own Chris Massey goes in for the acid kill with his 303 tweaking A Love From Outer Space style mid set stomper. Speaking of A Love From Outer Space, Sean Johnston himself gives a deep, moody & more psychedelic affair to his rework that takes things subterranean. Whilst Kiaki takes things deeper into stripped back chug territory which is equal parts hypnotic & hooky with a stomping backdrop...big! 

Tracklist: 

1. Causeway - Dancing With Shadows (Original)
2. Causeway - Dancing With Shadows (Massey Remix)
3. Causeway - Dancing With Shadows (Hardway Bros. Remix)
4. Causeway - Dancing With Shadows (Kiaki Remix)
5. Causeway - Dancing With Shadows (Marshall's Club Mix)

PREMIERE: Causeway - Dancing With Shadows (Hardway Bros. Remix) [Sprechen]

February 17 will mark the fifth anniversary of Andrew Weatherall’s tragic death. Three days before that, Material Music will release A Love from Outer Space, a compilation compiled and mixed by  Sean Johnston, who DJed and ran the A Love from Outer Space club night with Weatherall. It features 19 songs that capture the essence of the club night, many of them exclusive. I spoke to Sean about the new album, about London 88 Acid House madness, 122 BPM limits, all-time ALFOS anthems and DJing at ALFOS days after Weatherall’s passing. I hope you enjoy it. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.

Mar Vallverdú and Ben Cardew ended up a touch star struck, when they interviewed The Dare at Primavera Sound 2025. Topics included: which member of Girls does Harrison Patrick Smith think he is? Working with Charli XCX (naturally), being funny, bad taste and more. Line Noise comes with the support of Cupra. Photo by @leafhopper

Line Noise 227 - The Dare at Primavera Sound 2025

Johann Wald and Mar Vallverdú went toe to toe with Confidence Man at Primavera Sound 2025, to talk 3am, the magic hour, Madonna, The KLF, crazy ideas in your Notes app and more. Line Noise comes with the support of Cupra. Photo by @leafhopper

Line Noise 228 - Confidence Man at Primavera Sound 2025

Welcome back to Line Noise. After a bit of a summer break, we gently ease you back into things - well, not really - with an interview with Nu-UKG duo YU QT, aka Darryl Reid and James Cooper, who recently blew my - and many others' - mind with their devastating take on 2-Unlimited, Y'all Ready For Dis. Obviously we spoke about that but also about working with MCs, the cross-generational appeal of UKG , being closet romantics and a lot more. I hope you enjoy it. Look out for lots more from Line Noise - including video! - in the coming months. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.

I decided to dig into the archives to pull out the Radio Primavera Sound interview we did with BABII in July 2019, around the release of her fantastic album HiiDE. We talked about the sound of poisoning, being a carnivore, Margate heatwaves, Escape Room music and more

Line Noise 230 - BABii (2019)

On the latest Line Noise, I spoke to Guy Brewer aka Carrier (and formerly one third of Commix and all of Shifted) about insane drum & bass production skill, Cambridge Hardcore, Berlin and Antwerp, primal feelings and a lot more. His debut album as Carrier, Rhythm Immortal, is released on October 24. Line Noise comes with the support of Cupra.
