Though many know Erol Alkan as the crossover DJ from Trash and Bugged Out!, famous for blurring the lines between indie and dance music in the mid-'00s, he's also the man behind Phantasy Sound, the label responsible for introducing the world to Daniel Avery. Thanks in part to his protégé's success, it feels like we've been reintroduced to Alkan over the past two years--after all, it was only in 2013 that he released his first solo EP...

Erol Alkan has the Midas touch. Metronomy and Tame Impala line up for his remixes, his Phantasy label released albums by Daniel Avery and Connan Mockasin this year, and he was behind Trash, the club at the heart of London's electro-rock scene from 1996-2006. So perhaps it's understandable that it's taken him this long to release a solo record...

Erol Alkan's first A Bugged Mix came in 2005, and encapsulated everything that made him so insightful as a DJ. On it, he had his fingers on the so-called electro pulse, yet he was also clever enough to anticipate the shoegaze revival that was beginning to bubble up in the mid-'00s. His follow-up, seven years later, showcases Alkan yet again at his most clever, generous and skillful...

Over seven years since Trash night founder and DJ premier leaguer Erol Alkan so expertly captured the electro-house zeitgeist on A Bugged Out Mix, the pace at which club dancefloors have altered, accelerated and broken down fashions and tastes has made it almost impossible for him to be so all-encompassing on this follow-up...

A pioneer of the bootleg scene of the early 00s and the force behind London's seminal Trash club night, was one of the few DJs ready to embrace the mash-up maelstrom from the outset. A club, festival and warehouse party staple for more than a decade, Erol's the man who got, and keeps, indie kids dancing on both sticky union floors and within the glinting chrome of super clubs alike...

For the past five years, Erol Alkan has been educating clubbers with his unique concoction of energetic, trashy, disco blended with electro beats, new romantic rhythms and the spirit of '70s punk, '80s rock and '90s house. What started out in London at his residencies at the End and Trash playing dance music that rocks, and rock music you can dance to, quickly mushroomed around the globe. The Face magazine even went as far as calling him the new Fatboy Slim...
