Wolfgang Flür

Wolfgang Flür legendary member of Kraftwerk’s classic lineup (Autobahn, The Man-Machine, Computer World) returns to Glasgow in January as part of Independent Venue Week presenting his MusikSoldat concert with special guest Peter Duggal.  Wolfgang sees himself as a music presenter with historical electric background. His performances includes hand picked videos and rare images from his Kraftwerk days to his present projects added with selected electro tunes. Musik Soldat (music soldier) is the title of Flür’s program. Over the years he has collaborated with icons including Peter Hook, U96, Boris Blank (Yello), and more. Now Wolfgang remains one of the scene’s true pioneers. This is more than a gig - it’s a journey through electronic history, straight from the man who helped build it and an evening that you won't soon forget. "I Was A Robot“ is Flür’s sung autobiography and was especially produced as giveaway of the German book in a parallel edition. The English edition was first published in 2000 called “I Was a Robot“ (Sanctuary), describing his view on the inner workings of Kraftwerk. The book was subsequently released in six different territories / translations and was in the Top Ten of best selling music books in 2004 (The Independent) and 2010 in the ten best music histories (The Observer). Flür also released a weird short story book on the Germans of the Rhineland Area in 2011 entitled “neben mir“ (next to me) Since 2004 Flür has been DJ’ing world-wide in clubs and festivals, playing tech house, industrial and electro specialities of his own, of Kraftwerk and of international artists. Expect retro-futuristic grooves, hypnotic visuals not to be missed!
