We lost a musical legend this week. Sinead O'Conner, best known for her incredible rendition of Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U. I did a little remix, but I didn't want to mess with perfection too much. The mix builds up through some of my favourite chilled but funky tracks.

Tracklist
1. Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Conner (Isabeau Remix)
2. Just - Bicep
3. Marea (We've Lost Dancing) - Fred Again...& The Blessed Madonna
4. West Coast - DEL-30
5. Hungry for the Power (Jamie Jones Mix) - Azari & III
6. Do It Co It (feat. Cherish) - Acraze
7. Delight - Christian Burkhardt
8. Beggin' - Chris Lake & Aluna
9. Dancing (Again!) [feat. Tina & Audion] - Eats Everything
10. Let the Beat Control Your Body feat. Louisahhh!!! - Brodinski

Spare Room Sessions - 28-07-2023

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

Premiere: Camelphat ft. Audio Bullys - Bugged Out (Badbox Remix) [eViVE]

This year I'm kicking off a new mix series to celebrate the first 25 years of this century: 21st Century Music! Each mix will contain only music from this century. To kick things off, here's a mix of proper techno music from the beginning of the century. This is very personal for me, as this is a point at which I was really engaged with techno - listening to it, dancing to it, thinking about it, and playing it. This is the point when I was a student at Edinburgh University, and I was visiting the (sadly no longer with us) Studio 24 on Calton Road practically every weekend with friends to enjoy techno clubs like Dogma, Pillbox, Apex, Subtle Logic, and more. 

This was a time when techno was really fun and interesting, the time of 'hard grooves', of funky techno, of high impact, danceable music, before the walls of minimal closed in and techno got really, really boring for a while. There's been a revival of this style in recent years (see my Stranger tribute mix, for instance), which is not surprising, because this style of techno is just so much more fun than minimal.

Enjoy!

American in Berlin! I've been a dj since 1997, playing across a wide range of dance music genres, as you can see from the variety of mixes. I love it all! 

Want recommendations? Drop me a DM and I'll hook you up. 

I sometimes play at Berlin clubs, but mostly I am a hardcore vinyl collector and bedroom mixer. Check out my blog at www.sonicrampage.org/blog
