Roman Flügel and Gerd Janson are, each in their own right, respected pillars of the German dance music scene, with close ties to the Rhine-Main area and long-standing connections to one another. Flügel has released on Janson’s prestigious imprint Running Back, whose motto, > Guilty Feet Have No Rhythm <, could easily apply to both of their CVs.
While Janson has released a wide range of artists on the label, from seasoned veterans to emerging talents, and has remixed everyone from the Pet Shop Boys and The Chemical Brothers to Metronomy and Christine and the Queens, the ever-shape-shifting Roman Flügel remains defined by one constant: change. His DJ sets are wild cards, underlined by an extensive and eclectic catalogue of releases.
Gerd Janson’s selections, meanwhile, tend towards the sweet spot of House and Disco, framed by a deep and far-reaching musical knowledge. His first steps in dance music were taken as a music journalist, and with Roman Flügel’s having a degree in musicology their backgrounds open up a broader question: does music need to be understood in order to be felt? The two esteemed selectors - both among the most charismatic yet grounded figures in dance music - are ready to explore this timeless question from our booth, with a very special back to back.
Rosa Red, meanwhile, represents a fresh and upcoming voice within the scene, drawing on a broad creative background. From graphic design to a rich musical past playing in bands, the former Münchnerin has since found a home on Permanent Vacation for her first three EP releases. Her sound gravitates towards uplifting House, tracing its connections and sentiments across a range of adjacent genres.
