at the end of 2006, erol alkan was at a crossroads. hed been voted dj of the year by mixmag. he dmade landmark, expectation-defying remixes for bands he loved: a crunching glam racket reworking of do you want to for franz ferdinand, a wonderfully wistful reinterpretation of hop chips boy from school, a psychedelic take on scissor sisters i dont feel like dancing and a genre-defining reworking of justices waters of nazereth.
