DJ and producer Erol Alkan presented last saturday the first edition of his 6 mix residency on BBC Radio, playing an eclectic selection of electronically influenced music (featuring big tunes from Cassius, Vitalic, Pilooski and Laurent Garnier), from future disco to psychedelia, alongside hot new reworkings direct from his studio in North London. Bonus : a 30 minutes mix from Erol himself, showcasing the tunes he’s playing in clubs and at festivals all over the world. WICKEDDD

The founder of London’s legendary Trash night at The End, Erol was a key player in the electroclash movement in the early part of this century. More recently he has produced albums by the Mystery Jets and Late of the Pier, whilst his remix of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Zero has been hailed as one of the biggest indie-dance crossovers of 2009.
