He's at V this year apparently.
I'm no good with genres but electro house sounds about right.
Saw him at Glasto and he was excellent, the guy loved it too and didn't want to leave. They almost had to drag him off. Check out his 'glam' remix of Franz Ferdinands song 'Do you want to'. Takes an age to get going (3mins) but when it gets going it sounds awesome. Definitely something to show off your amp/speakers.

a lot of noise, a lot of looping,a lot of bass, a lot of noise, a lot of alternative stuff.
the crowd will be a mixed bunch, first time i went to see him he wasn't a massive name so there were just the hardcore fans. second time there was a lot of indie kids who were way out of there league and didn't understand that he plays the dirtiest electro instead of the remixed indie stuff they hoped for.
took my friend to see him for his first ever club night (well non cheese one anyway). he loved it and is now coming to creamfields with me to see erol again.

weird really , if you see him as "beyond the wizards sleeve" or at his own club night durr ( formerly trash ) then hell be playing indie rock and electro indie stuff :/
as erol alkan its usually pure electro "noise" ( like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28-eYN5v1c0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si0P52dr4d0
) but he does play quote a few of "crowdpleasers"
then sometimes he just drops in a complete random track yet somehow gets everyone to love it
like rage against the machine - killing in the name off 
best thing to do would be to download a few of his podcasts or even just look at the track listings
dont know anyone whos been to see him and hasnt enjoyed it though....
one of the only djs ive seen entire crowds and club fulls chant his name at the end of his set too

i aint seen him though , not my sort of music lol
i suppose the people going to his "gigs" ( AVB ) are mostly fans too ? or know what to expect ?
at nights ive seen erol its mostly been people who had no idea what to expect or had only heard of him because they seen someone form the klaxons wearing an e.r.o.l tee shirt etc
think youd be too into trance to like it really though
hes just a whole lot better then the other people who play the sort of music he plays really
been around for years , should be more well known but is one of those types who just doesnt want to be "famous" even though he is pretty famous now

Erol's playing in Manchester this november as part of The Warehouse Project. Friday 23rd November, not seen him myself personally (until tommorow when i go Global) but my mates swear by him. Can't wait till Warehouse kicks off again in Manchester, some awesome nights announced.
Yes The Warehouse Project does indeed rock, hard 
Went to about 5 last year and to Beneth the Streets the other month
Looking forward to this years, Annie Mac, 20 Years Since Acid House and of course Radio Soulwax amoungst others

hooray to the return of the warehouse project, looking at the 2many dj's, erol and vitalic nights.
was at 2manydj's on new years day and they played a decent set but hats off to Laurent Garnier who played a 6hour set.
was gutted i missed the gig below piccadilly, was travelling at the time but everyone said it was good.

Not at all, there is a just a lack of trance going on in Sheffield at the minute! Listen to me have a mix this eve and i'll show you what i'm listening to at the mo
The reason i asked about erol is this http://www.dontstayin.com/uk/sheffield/plug-fka-zero/2007/jul/28/event-129924 i need to blow off a little steam and trying to find the best way to do that this weekend.
Thanks for all the comments guys
id go , especially if you can get a 6 quid advance ticket
dunno what the crowd would be like mind , apart from having a great time , seems a weird mixture unles its all going on in different rooms etc ?
id like to guarantee you a good time with erol but i know how much you lot love your trance
switch (dave taylor) for me this weekend i think , our shoddy town has really done itself proud this month

To be honest i'm more a fan of electronic music with trance being my favourite. I certainly love my psy, prog, techno and house etc
hmm well only thing you might not like is he plays a few what you would call "party tracks" , i do mean only a few though
and always manages to play them at a time people still go wild just because of how random it is
just expect a mixture of anything and everything really
up here going to a commercial as hell night would cost us 6 quid though so id definetly go if theres not much else on
