Since the turn of the '00s, Erol Alkan has left an indelible mark on UK club culture. As a producer, promoter, label boss and DJ, Alkan was key in reintroducing guitars to dance music, a national heritage that had been lost. In the early '90s, it was not unusual to see Andrew Weatherall's name simultaneously on records by My Bloody Valentine and The Orb. Some of Britain's biggest breakouts bands at the start of that decade, such as Primal Scream and The Prodigy, applied a punk attitude to crowd-pleasing beats. But by the decade's end, the beige everyman rock of Travis and Stereophonics became more popular, as did superclubs like Cream and Gatecrasher.
