Massive is the only way to describe Friday’s Celtronic event. Erol Alkan’s profile increased considerably during 2006, when remixes for Scissor Sisters, Justice and Hot Chip helped earn him the Mixmag 2006 DJ of the Year award. His epic sets attract bookings from New York, Barcelona and Rio de Janeiro over a year in advance. His clubnight Trash recently came to an end after 10 years. Erol also uses the alias Mustapha 3000, and is half of the psychedelic rock act Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve. He has also produced B-Sides for The Long Blondes and the Klaxons. However, Erol still gets a bigger rush from DJing than anything else. "The time I feel most alive,and the only time I truly feel like myself, is when I'm playing records and giving people a party," he explains with an enormous grin. "And right now, I'm more excited by djing than I've ever been. I'm still an absolute believer in the indie aesthetic," he explains, "and when I'm hunting down electronic music, it's still that independence in spirit that I'm looking for. I have to feel that the person behind that record truly had to make that record," Erol explains. And if they had to make it, he has to play it. And if he has to play it, he can't hide his excitement, and when Erol gets excited, everyone gets excited, until the whole club is rocketed into Alkan anarchy. And you just know there'll be a lot of sore heads in the morning.

Riotous Rockers highly explosive cocktail of pop projectiles, electro bombshells, inflammable disco and subversive rock'n'roll have led to them being in demand all over the world including residencies at Manchester's Bugged Out!, Manumission, Ibiza. They founded the Liars Club in London, which has hosted acts like Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Simian Mobile Disco, Scissor Sisters and MSTRKRFT. And, as if that wasn’'t enough, Pete is also one half of the duo Nightmoves.

The Japanese Popstars’ tracks have received major support from of Pete Tong, Paul Woolford, Fergie, 2FM and BBC Radio 1. As the buzz builds up for these boys its only going to get bigger! The guys have a hectic summer schedule in place.
