And I've lived here for 6 years
Google tells me he is a London-based electro dj that used to play at The End.
Hell, I live on the other side of the planet, and I've known about Alkan for years now. T'was one of the early adopters of mash-ups along with 2ManyDJs.

He's part of the rockier, nu-ravey "electro" end of the spectrum, not all that dissimilar to the likes of Digitalism or Justice and as such he has currency in both house and rocky crowds. Although frankly I'm astounded that so many people haven't even heard of him. Get out more. Or just buy a copy of Mixmag once in a while.
While still pretty dodgy, this list is actually indicative of decent taste amongst my fellow countrymen. Nobody would dispute Danny Howells at #4 and there seems to be less shit trance on there and more variety in terms of genres represented.
Are you all taking the piss? How can you be into electronic music and not heard of Erol Alkan?

LOL this list is just as bad as the official Top 100 list.

Agreed completely, even though I'm no longer an Englishman But this list is a bit more accurate, even though, like you've said it has its dodgy bits.

I'm hardly interested in the nu-ravey "electro" end of the spectrum, "getting out more" wouldn't teach me anything as I'm not in London, and I'm not interested in spending money in magazines.
But thanks for explaining who the guy is anyway.
