Roman Flügel

Roman Flügel is a German producer, DJ, and live act associated with electronic music since the 1990s. Working across a range of club and experimental contexts, he has released music under numerous names, building a catalog that moves between different strands of electronic production rather than staying within a single stylistic lane.

From the early part of his career, Flügel appeared under pseudonyms including Eight Miles High, Roman IV, Ro 70, and Soylent Green. Alongside Jörn Elling Wuttke, he has also issued recordings under a set of shared aliases: Alter Ego, Acid Jesus, Holy Garage, and Sensorama. These parallel identities have been a recurring feature of his output, allowing distinct projects to develop in tandem and often emphasizing different approaches to rhythm, texture, and club functionality.

Flügel’s work has included collaborations with other figures in electronic music, including Ricardo Villalobos. His productions are frequently described as genre-crossing, reflecting a practice that draws on multiple currents within electronic music rather than treating genre boundaries as fixed. Since 2009, he has performed and released predominantly under his birth name, consolidating the various strands of his earlier discography under the Roman Flügel identity.

He is originally from Darmstadt, Germany. Across his career he has also been credited in many alternate spellings and variants of his name, reflecting both the use of pseudonyms and the circulation of his work in different scenes and release formats.
