Dr Lektroluv 'Live Recorded at Extrema Outdoor 2006' album

Next to the usual Lektroluv series (number 7 is out now) featuring a selection of both new and hard to find tracks covering the complete elektro spectrum, we have decided to record the Dr.'s dj set at this year’s Extrema Outdoor festival and make it available for everybody who wants to have a party at home. It features all those banging tracks the Dr. heats up every gig with, by artists such as Boys Noize, New Order, Cajmere, David Carretta, Vitalic, Röyksopp, Digitalism… The perfect souvenir of a great night out for all the fans.

Biography

The mysteriously green Dr. Lektroluv has released no less than eight mix-compilations since 2002. The debut volume set a benchmark for modern electro compilations, while the upfront tracklisting managed to neatly showcase the burgeoning modern electro scene. Since then many of the recent compilations that have flooded the market appear to have taken cues from the original instalment in terms of tracks and artists.
Also on the latest Lektroluv 007 the Dr. is sticking to what he knows best: selecting the cream of the crop from today’s electro scene and blending these tracks with some hard to find classics – always maintaining a distinct dancefloor-friendly flow. Not choosing the obvious tracks coming out of the electro-clash zone, the Dr. is selecting them more on a build-to-last scale.
Together with the 7th Lektroluv mix, our green friend also unleashed his first live-cd, a recording of his set at the Dutch Extrema Outdoor festival. Including all those banging tracks the Dr. heats up every gig with, it’s the perfect souvenir of a great night out for all the fans!

What started of as a practical joke became reality with the release of the second compilation when the Dr. came alive and performed for the first time during the notorious Body to Body party at the trendy Culture Club in Ghent. That was such a success that the Dr. became a resident at the Body to Body parties where he receieved guests such as I-F, Miss Kittin, Tiga, Ellen Allien, Tiefschwarz, Ladytron, Ivan Smagghe, Freeform Five, Metro Area, Digitalism, Who Made Who, Adult, Vitalic, The Hacker, Alden Tyrell, Kitbuilders, Dexter, Alexander Robotnick, Legowelt, DJ T, Fat Truckers, DJ Naughty…
In the meantime the Dr. built up a big fanbase in Belgium and Holland where he played several festivals such as Awakenings, I Love Techno, Dance Valley and clubs like Now & Wow, Doornroosje and Dirty Dancing. Internationally he has built up strong contacts in Ireland, Greece, Malta and Italy where he is regularly booked at parties too.

Next to all that – yes, the green masked Dr. is a busy man! – there is now also the Lektroluv vinyl label. The artists currently featured on the label include Bangkok Impact, Savas Pascalidis, Mysterymen, Superlux, Danton Eeprom, The Subs and Michoacan.
