Description
One of the most influential figures in German electronic music, Roman Flügel has spent over three decades shaping his own musical universe, moving freely between house, techno, electro, ambient, and IDM without ever being confined to a single genre.
Inspired by Chicago house, Detroit techno, and Frankfurt's legendary Omen club, Flügel began his musical journey in the early 1990s. Alongside Jörn Elling Wuttke, he formed Acid Jesus and Alter Ego, helping shape a new direction in German electronic music. He also co-founded the influential labels Ongaku, Klang Elektronik, and Playhouse, playing a significant role in the development of Germany's underground house and techno scene. Tracks such as Alter Ego's 'Rocker' and his solo release 'Geht's Noch?' brought his distinctive sound to international audiences.
His constant exploration of new sounds as a producer is equally reflected in his approach to DJing. From deep, unconventional house and experimental techno to electro and Italo disco, Flügel connects music from different eras and genres in unexpected ways. Drawing on decades of electronic music history while never losing sight of the dancefloor, Roman Flügel remains one of the scene's most distinctive and unpredictable selectors.
