The German electronic and house legend has long been celebrated for his anthemic productions and tastemaking DJ sets, both of which blend radiant synth pop and Italo-style melodies with pumping grooves and the jagged rhythmic flair of EBM and techno.
This week, Roman Flügel spotlights smooth Italo Disco, razor-sharp electro, luxurious deep house and more from the likes of Philipp Otterbach, Marvin & Guy, Galcher Lustwerk, Vivan Koch and more. In lieu of opportunities to discover new records on the dancefloor, Selections will give you the chance to nab sounds from the crates of tastemakers, and support the people behind them while you’re at it. While hearing new music played out by your favourite selectors has been put on hold as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s never been easier, or more important, to support the artists and imprints releasing tracks, albums, EPs and comps in the midst of all the madness. In this series, Selections, we invite DJs, producers and label heads to dig into their digital crates and share the contents of their Bandcamp collections.
