Having already forged a career as a DJ, producer, remixer, and collaborator, Erol Alkan released his debut EP, ‘Illumination,’ on his label Phantasy in 2013. Its opener was ‘A Hold On Love,’ the chords of which have remained a staple in Alkan's DJ sets in the decade since.
Upon its 10th anniversary, Alkan presents two subtle reworks that transport one of the London producer's most enduring tracks onto contrasting dancefloors. The '(dyna-mix)' finds heady dub and psychedelia among halcyon chords, first means tested on wide-eyed crowds at Houghton Festival and throughout Alkan's ongoing 'To The Rhythm' all-nighters.
Meanwhile, the '(trip-mix)' lifts the energy for a pacier take without sacrificing the detail and musicality of his blend of house, electro, techno and alternative sensibilities.
Erol Alkan ‘A Hold On Love (reworks)’ is out now on Phantasy Sound.
