You may have seen the name of Erol Alkan through simple remix diffusion. It seems that every band, electronic or otherwise, is releasing reworked songs, if not a full-on remix album, these days, and the producer seems as prominent as the actual band in some cases. Erol has a pretty impressive body of work, and it seems that his projects reflect his similarly-inflected musical tastes.
An awesome example is this DJ set, recorded at Erol's own Trash in London on January 25th, 2005. He really does a great job of incorporating the old and new, and whatever you're into, it makes for a varied and interesting listen. While other DJs incorporate the occasional sample or rely on their own processed beats, this set is name-dropping glory. I guess you could think of it as a live DJ-Kicks.
