Tiga b2b Erol Alkan at Rock Herk 2026

About this set

How do you begin to write about Tiga? Where do you start on a long road full of remarkable milestones? What can you say that can’t be captured in raw statistics (which he is very strict about) or on an unrolled parchment of places played and awards won? The duality of a life split between ambitious pop star and touring DJ falls short, at this point, he has lived dozens of lives, let alone just two. Honestly, the only claim that doesn’t hold up is that he’s in legacy mode, because for him that means the cardinal sin of resting on his laurels. And that simply cannot be. Erol Alkan is a DJ. He is also a producer, artist, radio host, label boss and collaborator. Some call him a musical polymath, others consider him one of the most unique talents in electronic and alternative culture of the past few decades. His extensive history reads almost like mythology: the shy schoolboy who in the early 90s climbed out of his bedroom window to play indie records for a ruthless crowd, and within a few years transformed the London club scene by connecting different scenes with experiment and abandon. Many years later, everything and nothing has changed. Whether in the DJ booth, the studio or on the radio, Alkan continues to rely on a unique alchemy driven by instinct and the pure, infectious love and knowledge of music he’s carried with him since childhood. These two icons play back-to-back on Dansbaar to lift the roof to new heights. Warm those dancing legs up.
