"Roman Flügel recorded under various pseudonyms and co-produced Sven Väth's last two albums (Contact and Fire). He belongs to the Playhouse / Klang / Ongaku crew as musician as well as A&R. Together with Jörn E. Wuttke, he forms the producer duo Alter Ego, being responsible for classics like 'Betty Ford'. The current album Transphormer is a re-orientation within the Techno map and is thus setting new standards. Dominik Eulberg is one of the most promising young artists this year. With 'Die Rotbauchunken vom Tegernsee', he just released a summer smash hit on Traum Schallplatten, and is now preparing to convince the rest of the community. With his remix of 'Geht's noch?', he is on the best way."

Title:	Live At Robert Johnson Vol. 5
Label:	LIVE AT ROBERT JOHNSON (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	PLAYRJC 005CD

Starting the next round of Robert Johnson's extolled mix and limited box set series is none other than Alter Ego's precious Roman Flügel. Also known as Soylent Green, Eight Miles High, Roman IV and under a dozen other pseudonyms, Flügel has done it all (insert electronic music genre here) -- except for a mix CD. Honing his craft as a producer with an idiosyncratic signature, Live At Robert Johnson Vol. 5 sheds some light on his skills as a serious selector and daring disc jockey. A combination that comes once in a blue moon, Roman Flügel manages to be fascinating and relevant in both. The proof thereof lies before your face. Whether his beeps, bleeps and clonks or his more contemplative moments are to your taste, the fifth volume for the beloved little harbor at the banks of the river Main, shares the one as well as the other. Here you will find long-lost jack trax moments with Armando, earnest new school techno with Ben Klock, Ratsnake's quirkiness, a great love break in the shape of Idioma's "Landscapes" as well as some vintage and future Flügel (Soylent Green plus two exclusive, vital and refreshingly new tracks for Live At Robert Johnson) himself. A key player and starter in the resident DJ team, he handles this ride as well as he does on any given night at RJ. Pleasing directly without using the obvious and celebrating a certain uncertain murky ambiguity without being indefinite, Roman established a distinguishable and delightful signature in his DJ sets. Live At Robert Johnson Vol. 5 is a true school interpretation of acid house music at its best. Other artists include: Freund Der Familie, Itzone, Thomos, Molex, Ink And Needle, Nail, Foreverreaction, Maetrik, and Soulphiction.

Title:	Brian Le Bon/N.M.I.S.M.D.
Label:	LIVE AT ROBERT JOHNSON (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	PLAYRJC 006EP

Live At Robert Johnson presents a 12" by Roman Flügel -- and what a bass-heavy beauty he created! "N.M.I.S.M.D." highlights his use of 808 electrical circuitry in combination with some eccentric vocal bits and irresistible grooves that make even strange bodies move. "Brian Le Bon" leaves such funky analogies behind and aims at the melancholic and epic side of things. This is what the Joy Division dance orchestra would have sounded like.
