The London-based, Turkish DJ, Erol Alkan, comes to perform live at Sala Apolo. He got his big break after DJ-ing in London nightclubs in the early 1990s. By 1995, he was the resident DJ and co-founder of London club Trash, and to this day has a hand in the running of its successor Durrr.

He released a series of mash-ups using the alias Kurtis Rush in the early 2000s and, in 2012, brought out an album of remixes entitled I love Techno - a big hit amongst fans. He also uses the alias Mustapha 3000, and, aside from DJ-ing solo, is half of the psychedelic rock act, Beyond The Wizards Sleeve.

Alkan has remixed tracks from artists including Franz Ferdinand, Justice, Mylo, Interpol, Bloc Party, Daft Punk, Hot Chip, The Chemical Brothers, The Rapture, Scissor Sisters, Digitalism, Mystery Jets, Death From Above 1979, Alter Ego and Klaxons.
