We Keep Kids Dancing!
Squadron & DonDisko are proud to finally present a legendary electronic music icon, and that’s none other than Erol Alkan. So make sure you mark your calendars, it’s going to be a very special night! We’ll be also celebrating DonDisko’s 3 year anniversary.
EROL ALKAN (Phantasy Records)
Have you heard the one about Erol Alkan? The bearded studio-sorcerer worshipped by bands and DJ’s half his age as a living electronic idol? About the kid in his early 20s who’s founded that Trash night in London where they’re playing Bowie and basslines at the same time? I heard that he invented the mash-up. I heard that he created the second coming of French Touch just by remixing Justice’s “Waters Of Nazareth”. I heard he bought guitar music back from the grave. No, it was electronic music. Or was it reggae? I heard he once revived a Roland 303 just by looking at it. Didn’t you hear? He’s bringing psychedelia back? Wait – I heard he’s bringing Disco back? Didn’t you hear? That’s the thing about Erol Alkan – hearing is believing. Until you’ve borne witness to one of his legendary live sets, poured headily over one of his meticulously crafted productions, or been catapulted to a sudden sonic nirvana by the dropping of one of his remixes, you might be justified for dismissing his existence as an extremely elaborate myth of the musical underground. After all, how can one man, still in his early thirties, have kept so many kids dancing for so long?
Recently Erol is working on various collaborations with fellow friend Boys Noize, together they produced dance floor hits such as “Lemonade”, “Waves”, and “Death Suite”. His busy schedule has seen Erol headlining most of the World’s biggest festivals including Glastonbury, Global Gathering, T In The Park, Pukkelpop, Creamfields and Coachella. Whether he’s playing the latest in hardcore thrash or producing delicate anthems of spectral beauty, one thing’s for sure; music, truly fertile music, is never very far from Erol Alkan, and his sound can only continue to grow in the future. Haven’t you heard?
