Able(ton) Seaman Johnston
The Hardway Bros comprise of Mr Sean Johnston (London), Jake Davies (LA) and a clandestine South London presence, going by the name “Rico” whom we will leave you to speculate and cogitate upon. You’ll have noticed a glut of remixes bearing the Hardway moniker over the past year and thus be familiar with their astral discotheque sound and henceforth the decidedly quality nature of it.
It’s Sean who provides us with this exciting, new blend, although Rico may have provided a degree of spiritual vibez during, who knows. Having a DJ style described as “Future Disco” but indeed enveloping a multitude of genres that require no segregating, he’s played clubs as discerningly great as Disco Bloodbath and had a most triumphant mix, feature on the Beats In Space show.
Alongside a young, rookie Disc Jockey cohort named Andrew Weatherall, Sean has founded an utterly splendid night they’re calling ,
“A Love From Outerspace”
and describing it as
an oasis of slowness in a world of ever increasing velocity
It’s an exploratory incision into the body of 80-120 BPM music, holding a hypnotic groove and delving into pyschedelia, the good way. This mix pays tribute to this fantastic monthly session. And as such, it’s absolutely fucking excellent.
