#Repost @erolalkan with @make_repost ・・・ There is something you should know.. I've been biting my tongue on this since November 2018 and it's as surreal as it is exciting to be able to share with you that I've been producing the next Duran Duran album, titled 'FUTURE PAST' and out on 22.10.21. Joining us on guitar is the ace @grahamcoxon . Here we all are, pictured during our first session together. We've spent the last 2 and a half years working on a number of songs which for me embody the spirit and dynamic of the @duranduran as I know them now, or as I remember them whilst growing up. @iammarkronson and @giorgiomoroder have also produced tracks on the album. The first taste of what we made together has just been released, it's called 'INVISIBLE' and you can hear by heading to the link in my bio. e x #duranduran #erolalkan #INVISIBLE #FUTUREPAST #DD15 https://www.instagram.com/p/CPD8ZNJnXiL/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Duran Duran originally intended on spending 2020 on the road celebrating their 40th anniversary as a band. Instead, they had to yank all their plans, and bassist John Taylor came down with Covid-19. He’s all better now, and the group is working on its follow-up to 2015’s Paper Gods. It’s being co-produced by DJ Erol Alkan and Blur guitarist Graham Coxon. “It’s quite naked, raw. The grass is slightly sharp and twinkly rather than smooth,” said singer Simon Le Bon. “It’s groovy (and) modern and very honest. The lyrics are quite something.”" --Rolling Stone's 54 Most Anticipated Albums of 2021 - http://duran.io/35ZltSG

• @erolalkan The new @rideox4official I produced lands tomorrow on @wichitarecs. My green vinyl copy arrived today, so I promptly threw it on my deck to check out the sound quality of green vinyl (it sounds ace!) and then was told that this edition has already sold out! . This record was a huge amount of joy to make, we tried new ideas and flipped some old ones on their heads to see what would happen, the result is cast into these 12 tracks. What I love about this record (like many albums I like) is that your favourite track can change within days, there’s a lot to immerse yourself within. We hope it entertains and moves you. Streaming worldwide from midnite tonite. . #rideband #thisisnotasafeplace #erolalkan @andybebop @mark_gardener_ride @stevequeralt @lozcolbert https://www.instagram.com/p/B1MV-9ajIpD/?igshid=86a9xh29bn6x

If the last record was the sound of a bad excited to be writing songs together again and having fun from the first seconds this album exudes a masterful confidence of a band reaching even greater heights than they ever have. Amazing job by Erol and band. Can not wait for you all to hear it !! #Repost @erolalkan ・・・ So, ‘Future Love’ is the first single to be released from the new @rideox4official I produced titled ‘This Is Not A Safe Place’ is streaming everywhere from today, hope you love it as much as I do. I’m very proud of this album and excited for the full record to drop. /// #rideband #erolalkan #production @andybebop @mark_gardener_ride @stevequeralt @lozcolbert https://www.instagram.com/p/BwmqekNg22o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gjw9dqdc0e3g

#ThrowBackThursday My first #Coachella was in 2003 to check out #Fischerspooner. Feel in love with the festival and kept going til 2014. The BEST Line-Up was 2006. The MOST exciting bands to catch was #AmyWinehouse in 2007 #ErolAlkan in 2008 #Caifanes in 2011 #StoneRoses in 2013 Eleven years of fun in the desert and pre Filter parties (R.I.P.). I miss it and I hope one day they come out with a good line up again. (at Coachella, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwa0L4VAl7Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iovv4p5qs3eq

#Repost @erolalkan If you’d have told the 16 year old me I’d be producing @rideox4official in the future I’d have thought you were crazy. Here’s a tape I recently found which used to be locked in my Walkman for many walks to school and back. Anyway, the Tomorrows Shore EP just came out, which I produced.
