When you realise that the Casio Exilim was our generations Super 8 🎥 Dug these clips from a 2003 trip to New York City with friends from the deepest corner of a hard drive. I return to Dj in Sept. Info and tickets live on Thursday to the mailing list first so sign up at lnk.to/erolalkansignup
Exactly 25 years ago I played at Bugged Out for the first time, and was offered a residency on the spot. I only found this photo of my debut set at fabric last month, I didn’t even know it existed until then. Hope to see you at @drumsheds.bsky.social for 2001 & On 🎫 kaboodle.com/event/bugged...
Coming back to NYC ahead of playing Making Time in September. Ticket info will be sent to the mailing list first so please join here: lnk.to/erolalkansignup Excited to return, fell back in love with the city last year. Hope to see you again.
The reworks series always felt like it should have gone beyond just 5 vinyl editions, so here is number 6 - featuring reworks for Cowboy Rhythmbox and Josh Caffè - a mere 9 years after 'Reworks Vol 1'. More copies re-stocked on the Phantasy store and Bandcamp. lnk.to/reworksph155
Number 6 is here: lnk.to/ReworksPH155 Continuing on from 2017's 'Reworks Vol.1' compilation, my versions of Cowboy Rhythmbox's 'Rock Music' and Josh Caffé's 'You' are now pressed on a limited run of vinyl. Released today via Phantasy.
Reworks 6 vinyl incoming… but which duo of mixes are they? Or who should it be? Numbers 1 to 5 were released as part of ‘Reworks Vol 1’ in 2017, these are a continuation of that series.. Join our list for details when they drop: lnk.to/erolalkansignup Coming soon on @phantasysound.bsky.social
Hey! You know our label Phantasy likes to do things nicely. These ‘To The Rhythm’ shirts re-pressed on organic cotton shirts, but they are sent out in bio-degradable bags bags and recyclable packaging. lnk.to/erolalkanTTR We’ve been doing it a while now but always good to remind ourselves too.
A previously unreleased 5 hour set is now streaming in lossless quality on Apple Music. Recorded at ‘To The Rhythm’ back in 2017, it joins 3 other live mixes from my residency at XOYO. lnk.to/erolalkanapple (hit link, scroll to ‘compilations’ and click there to access over 25 mixes)

A secret weapon on my USB key for the last year or so, my re-edit of Felix Da Housecat ‘Test Press’ is now available on a single sided white label test pressing or stream. I had people ask for it since the B2B2B2B with Busy P, Thomas Bangalter and Fred Again. Out on Phantasy lnk.to/FelixPH154

Exactly 19 years ago today, Trash held its final party and has remained closed ever since. I made a promise to myself that it would never happen again, and stuck to it. May it live on in our memories, forever. There is a light that goes out. @trashclub.bsky.social

A subtle spin on the 'Keeps Kids Dancing' shirt is back. Was it inspired by a John Lennon lyric or a quote from Einstein? I can't remember exactly how it came about in 2008, but it's a sentiment hard to argue against. lnk.to/love-is-the-answer
