Throughout the conversation he emphasises the value of finding kindred spirits in the scene and the importance of collaborations to his career and creative output – a sentiment that feels particularly refreshing given the competitiveness of the industry. Over cold, sparkling water, he recalls his time as a young clubber at the much-fabled Dorian Gray and Omen and shares his views on the evolution of DJ craft and artistry. Arriving by bike with a busy few weeks behind him that have included getting over a bout of COVID, completing a US tour, and moving into a recently renovated new flat in Berlin, he admits to being “super tired and sleeping a lot” but still lives up to the label of ‘gentle giant of the German electro scene’ by being both notably tall and very easygoing. Now based in Berlin, Flügel joins us in the MYKITA HAUS courtyard on a very hot day in May. Coming up in the pioneering Frankfurt scene of the Nineties with friends and fellow artists, such as Ata Macias and Heiko MSO, he is also known for his role at Playhouse and Ongaku Musik, seminal labels that helped shape the underground club sound of the 1990s. ![]() In keeping with that spirit, we catch up with one of the leading figures of the scene for more insight into the craft and artistry that goes into creating that magical pull of the dancefloor: Roman Flügel is one of the biggest names of the German electronic scene, a prolific producer and well-travelled DJ with a hypnotic signature sound, at once understated, eclectic and melodic. Summer is arriving in Berlin and with it a genuine renaissance of the city’s legendary club culture. Photographed at the MYKITA HAUS, Roman Flügel wears LUND in Champagne Gold.
