"Someone you probably Don't Kknow . . . "
Erol Alkan
(Set from Sweeney's Beats in Space show (WNYU) http://www.sendspace.com/file/jxnti1)
Is the DJ and promoter of London's most talked about club Trash. Always two steps ahead of anyone else the club has played host to the first gigs in the capital for the likes of The Rapture, LCD Soundsystem, Zoot Woman, Peaches and the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs to more leftfield newcomers this year like Captain Comatose, Fannypack, Mu and Whirlwind Heat.
Alongside the rise of Trash Erol has become a sought after DJ at cutting edge dance clubs like Bugged Out, 21st Century Body Rockers, Return To New York, Fabric, The Cock and The Boutique. His salacious, anarchic DJing style - playing records with the verve and enthusiasm of a rock star with the looks to match - has inspired a keen fanbase.

"I think the scientific and the artistic spirit have something in common. The scientist wants not only to learn the facts, but to understand how they cohere, fit together and make a whole. He even uses criteria such as beauty and symmetry to help decide which theory he wants.
The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.”
David Bohm in “Art, Dialogue and the Implicate Order”, published in On Creativity RC (Routledge Classics)
