Roman Flügel

Since the early '90s, Roman Flügel has been one of Germany's most productive electronic artists. Initially known for his many projects with longtime collaborator Jörn Elling Wuttke (including Acid Jesus, Alter Ego, and Sensorama), Flügel has also released dozens of recordings under his own name as well as aliases such as Roman IV, Eight Miles High, and Soylent Green. Under all of these pseudonyms and collaborative ventures, his output has ranged from acid techno, deep house, and electro to more experimental work drawing from jazz, Krautrock, and ambient music. As cerebral, exploratory, and occasionally caustic as his work has been, he also has a pop side, and has remixed artists such as Kylie Minogue, Pet Shop Boys, and Daft Punk. In addition to all of this, he is also the co-owner of Frankfurt-based labels Ongaku Musik, Klang Elektronik, and Playhouse. Two decades into his career, he began releasing solo albums under his own name, starting with 2011's Fatty Folders. Two further albums for the Dial label followed, and the mix Fabric 95 arrived in 2017. Ambient/Krautrock-influenced album Themes I-XIII was released in 2018, and the experimental techno full-length Eating Darkness appeared in 2021.
