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 a historical electric background. His performance includes hand-picked videos and rare images from his Kraftwerk days to his present projects, combined 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 a journey through electronic history, straight from the man who helped build it.

"I Was A Robot" is Flür’s sung autobiography and was especially produced as a giveaway for 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 and translations and was in the Top Ten of best-selling music books in 2004 (The Independent) and among the ten best music histories in 2010 (The Observer). Flür also released a short story book on the Germans of the Rhineland Area in 2011 entitled "neben mir" (next to me).

Since 2004 Flür has been DJing worldwide in clubs and festivals, playing tech house, industrial, and electro specialties of his own, of Kraftwerk, and of international artists.

Expect retro-futuristic grooves and hypnotic visuals not to be missed.
