For Phonica’s landmark 100th mix, we had to make it extra, extra special. Enter Erol Alkan, a DJ who has been at the top of his game for over two decades and very much a local London legend.

Phonica Mix Series 100: Erol Alkan

For our first APECAST back in quite some time we've got the absolute pleasure of presenting a live set from Man Power aka MPX before the legendary Jeff Mills took us on a three hour journey at World Headquarters back in October.

For a joint party between Man Power's label Me Me Me, ourselves and World HQ - we brought the techno originator to Newcastle for a wildly intimate show to headline the club's Black History Month celebrations. Naturally MPX provided the stellar 2 hours before which you're listening to.

MPX is also the next artist to be releasing on Ape-X Records with a 3 track EP called Mainframe, coming later this month!

As he'll happily tell you, Eddie Fowlkes has been DJing for 42 years. That's a long time for anyone, but especially for someone who never really stopped. From his early records on Juan Atkins' Metroplex record label through to newer releases on his own labels City Boy and Detroit Wax, he's been doing his thing and staying true to himself and his timeless combination of Detroit dance music genres. He doesn't always get his dues alongside his fellow Detroit techno pioneers in the Belleville Three, probably because his sound was always more hybrid, a blend of techno and house that he would come to call techno soul, including on his landmark 1993 album with Moritz von Oswald and Thomas Fehlmann, The Birth Of Technosoul.

But Fowlkes is still a force of nature, and a master at mixing too, having four decades to hone his craft. You'll hear that skill on his RA Podcast, which comes in the wake of two more prominent releases, for Rekids and Classic Music Company/Defected, that might help (re)introduce him to a wider audience. Touching on soul, jazz and funk, this is functional but deep stuff played by a master selector, whose hands you can always hear in the mixing—a personal, human touch that defines techno soul.

This is pretty ideal, right? It's 4 PM on Saturday afternoon at a four-day festival. Energy levels are beginning to sag. You're itching to build momentum for the night ahead. Then, up steps Andrew Weatherall with a Love From Outer Space set, in which he slowly and soothingly builds a vibe, taking you from hesitant to hedonistic in 90 minutes.
