Erol Alkan A Bugged Out Mix

Erol Alkan A Bugged Out Mix




I picked up this album based upon a recommendation a few months ago, and though I do not often listen to DJ mixes, I love this dual album.

The first CD is just a great, full of great songs. However, I did not want to write much about that, for it's really in the second CD that this album shines. A bugged in selection is just amazing. Somehow Erol Alkan is able to take songs from a wide variety of genres and mix them together into one awesome eclectic mix of music. I can really listen to this CD and feel a wide variety of moods that few other albums project.

Overall, totally worth getting, if you're looking for another good mix or a strange (yet wonderful) collection of songs.

Erol Alkan Biography

Erol Alkan Biography



Noted mainly for his unique fusion of dance, punk, electronic and industrial, Erol Alkan began his career as the lead promoter and main DJ for the club night Trash based in London. His DJ mixes became the talk of the town during the great electroclash/dancepunk movement of 2004 and by year's end found himself playing some of the top clubs in the world. His first mix CD One Louder was given away free with copies of the dance music glossy Muzik in 2003, and he followed that up with a Bugged Out double disc session two years later. It was also during this time he found himself in demand for remixes, with his first big remix being the smash dancefloor hit "The Rocker" by German electronic duo Alter Ego. This led to other remixes for indie rockers Death From Above 1979, indie pop stars Annie, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, Hot Chip and established electronic heroes Daft Punk and Chemical Brothers. He also records mashup remixes under the name Kurtis Rush, with his most popular one being "Can't Get Blue Monday Out Of My Head", which combined Kylie Minogue's chart topper "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" with "Blue Monday", the legendary dance single by New Order.
