Erol Alkan - Phonica Mix Series #100

EROL ALKAN - PHONICA MIX SERIES #100 (258kbs-m4a/180mb/1hr37mins)
Phonica podcast: 3rd October 2022

For Phonica's landmark 100th mix, we had to make it extra, extra special. Enter Erol Alkan, a DJ who has been at the top of his game for over two decades and very much a local London legend. Personally, I've seen Erol play countless sets over the years, from intimate mind-bending escapades at Trash to peak-time, sweat soaked affairs in crammed rooms for Bugged Out or Fabric, to euphoric outdoor festival stages in front of a sea of moshing revellers. I can safely say I've never not been impressed with his dedication to his craft, selections (is there a better after-hours mix than his 'Bugged In Selection'?) and natural ability to whip a crowd into a frenzy. That's to say nothing of the countless brilliant 'reworks' he's crafted for the likes of Hot Chip, Justice, Scissor Sisters, Metronomy, Franz Ferdinand and so many more over the years. As a tastemaker, his label Phantasy has brought now widely-lauded artists like Daniel Avery and Connan Mockasin to our ears. As a producer he's been behind the desk for albums by Ride, Mystery Jets, The Long Blondes, Late Of The Pier and most recently, Duran Duran. Let's just say he's been keeping himself busy. - Alex Egan
