DJ Erol Alkan worked for two years to prepare an oral history book about Trash, a club he founded and operated from 1997 to 2007. The club first opened in Soho before moving to the West End.

Trash was known for its links to 2000s movements such as the garage-rock revival, electroclash, and new rave. Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, Peaches, Scissor Sisters, Bloc Party, and Klaxons performed at the venue early in their careers.

Alkan will perform at the Bugged Out event at Drumsheds in London alongside 2ManyDJs, The Avalanches, and Felix Da Housecat. Alkan stated that he has worked with Bugged Out for 25 years.
