Roman Flugel returns to Phantasy with his second release of 2024 on Erol Alkan's beloved London label, 'No Solutions EP'. Following on from 'Hotel Kathargo / Energies', which garnered a summer of support from a typically diverse array of DJs including Gerd Janson, Jamie Jones and Saoirse, 'No Solutions' expands Flugel's contributions to Phantasy into a triple track delight, another generous expression of his lifelong immersion in electronic music culture.Transporting the zeitgeist of future-facing, eighties pop production onto modern dance floors, the title track 'No Solutions' is a fizzy, escalating ode to some of Flugel's very earliest musical influences. Playfully channeling the wide-eyed electronics pioneered by The Human League or Soft Cell, it accelerates into a contemporary funhouse of wild oscillations and dreamy melodies.'Sapphire' shifts this sound palette forward, a steady acid-not-acid bubbler that maintains maximum intrigue and pressure, occasionally breaking through it's hazy clouds with pillowy breakdowns and a sense of space-age whimsy. Flugel takes the same palette in a different, more exacting direction on 'Dragged', spinning a creeping, Krautrock-esque groove that pays homage to the steady, lifting pulse of German kosmische traditions.
