Mix For Sonar 2015

Erol Alkan:
London-based producer/DJ will be taking on HARD’s Pink Stage on Saturday night. To simply state that he’s merely a DJ/producer would be far too simple.

His discography shows his true history and involvement as a musician, having remixed works from Tame Impala to Justice and collaborated with an array of artists, such as Daniel Avery and The Chemical Brothers. Erol Alkan has played some of the most famous dance music clubs all over Europe, so if you have the chance, catch him at the Pink Stage at HARD Summer this weekend.

Sunday:

Escor Krist is fresh face on the techno scene, although he’s certainly introduced himself with his recent release of his EP, Who The Fuck is EK? Hailing from Los Angeles, Escor Krist developed a love for electronic music at the young age of 17 and he hasn’t stopped since. Now, releasing on the infamous BNR label from Boys Noize, he has crafted a curiously dark and moody style that he’ll be bringing to the Green Stage at HARD Summer.  Sharing the stage with Escor Krist is the young prodigy, Pilo. Having released on Turbo Recordings and collaborated with Harvard Bass, it’s evident that Pilo has what it takes to go hard. His productions have received an incredible amount of support from some of the biggest names in dance music, such as Jackmaster, Tiga, and Gesaffelstein. Be sure to catch these two techno titans go back to back at the Green Stage while they lay down some of that LA technom flavor.
