Trash

<p><b>World-renowned DJ Erol Alkan takes us on a journey into London club night Trash which, like the acid house explosion of the 80s, became the focal point of a noughties sonic revolution.</b><br><br>‘The best club in the world’ <b><i>The Face</i></b><br>‘A disco that defined the era’s promiscuous relationship with guitar and dance music’ <b><i>Guardian</i></b><br><br>There are few clubs which can rightfully claim to have changed the sonics of a generation. New York’s Studio 54, Manchester’s Haçienda, London’s Blitz. Trash is one of these clubs.<br><br>Joining the dots between England’s capital, New York and Berlin, Trash ran in London every Monday night between 1997 and 2007. Soundtracked by an unpredictable mix of indie, electro, post-punk, no wave and garage rock, it was a club that celebrated a community rich in diversity and creativity. As well as legendary DJ sets, Trash hosted electric early live performances from artists including LCD Soundsystem, Bloc Party, Hot Chip and Klaxons.<br><br>Founder DJ Erol Alkan takes us on an unforgettable journey into that musical sanctuary and the turn-of-the-millennium cultural landscape from which it was born. Via a mix of Alkan’s recollections and interviews with artists including Peaches, Justice, 2manydjs, Scissor Sisters, Felix Da Housecat, Tiga and Gonzales, Alkan asks why and how a club like Trash happened when it did, what it helped set in motion, and why something like this may never happen again.</p>
