¡La Ruta! (Sean Johnston & Martyn Walsh): “Omerta”

 

Say hello to ¡La Ruta!, the new exciting collaboration project between Sean Johnston, aka
Hardway Bros, and former Inspiral Carpets bassist Martyn Walsh.



Say hello to ¡La Ruta!, the new exciting collaboration project between Sean Johnston, aka Hardway Bros, best known as one half of legendary DJ team A Love From Outer Space alongside the one-and-only Andrew Weatherall and former Inspiral Carpets bassist Martyn Walsh. Many years after Sean Johnston worked with Martyn Walsh during the Inspiral Carpets era, their paths crossed again and this time around they recorded music together. That’s it, ¡La Ruta! is born! Taking their name from Valencia`s infamous La Ruta Del Bakalao, the duo is getting ready to drop their self-titled EP of four killer original tracks via London-based label Days Of Being Wild. Expect a cosmic world meeting live bass.

This route is not direct. The time of embarkation is summer 1989, our point of departure, Club Barraca, Valencia, the epicentre of La Ruta Del Bakalao. Passengers on this journey are Martyn Walsh, bass player and songwriter of Manchester band Inspiral Carpets and Sean Johnston, the band’s booking agent and aspiring DJ. Our passengers will travel via separate routes, Martyn will sign to Mute Records and become the author of numerous top 40 hits and perform a myriad of worldwide shows. Sean will become a successful underground dance music producer as the Hardway Bros and DJ partner to the late Andrew Weatherall as A Love from Outer Space. Pulled back together by the gravitational waves of Weatherall’s untimely demise earlier this year, this is the music of their journey, ¡La Ruta!

Today we are psyched to premiere one of our favorite cuts from the record, the great tune “Omerta”. Clocking it at almost eight minutes, “Omerta” finds Sean Johnston and Martyn Walsh delivering a sublime slice of electronic music driven by repetitive New Order-esque bassline. What a ride! Of course, we’d expect nothing less than perfection from ¡La Ruta!. Play it loud exclusively on LAGASTA.

The “¡La Ruta!” vinyl is now available for pre-order here.
