Bugged Out turns 30 next year, and this mix is made up of 30 records which represents each of those years from 1994 to 2023.

Myself, Johnno and Lemmy from Bugged Out all reflected on various points in the clubs history and the artists who have helped shape it, and chose records which felt are a representation of the sound of the club, not just historically, but where it stands now. 

Pulling together music from different eras and sounds was a bit of a challenge, and whilst some may not be the biggest track of their respective year - a few will be seen as classics and a healthy amount are perhaps obscure in relation - but to my ears they still sound as brilliant now as they did upon release. 

In a bizarre twist of fate, the oldest record from 1994 is mixed in with the newest from this year, which wasn't intentional. Clocking in at 2 and a half hours, the mix was recorded live in a single take, here in London.

I spoke with Mixmag about my relationship with Bugged Out! which you can read here: https://mixmag.net/feature/erol-alkan-30-years-bugged-out-mix-drumsheds

I play for Bugged Out at Drumsheds this Saturday, set time: 7pm in the 'Y Room'. Hope to see you there, looks like it's going to be a good one.. Final tickets: https://bit.ly/3LBDtY4

He is a member of electro-pop acts Paris to Istanbul, Godzilla Power Hour, and Mathematikal, and has performed at several European music festivals including Les Rencontres Trans Musicales (FR) and Nuits Sonores (FR). 

On his solo material, Jay concentrates on themes like time and space, aimless late-night drives, and early morning conversations, imagining his tracks as soundtracks for these themes.
