Synopsis

DJ and producer Erol Alkan presents the first edition of his 6 Mix residency.

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.

In his first 6 Mix, he plays an eclectic selection of electronically influenced music, from future disco to psychedelia, alongside hot new reworkings direct from his studio in North London. Erol will also be in the mix for 30 minutes, showcasing the tunes he's playing in clubs and at festivals all over the world.
