A member of Kraftwerk during the group’s golden era, Wolfgang Flür was the band’s electronic percussionist from 1973 to 1987.Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Flür became the third member of the band in 1973, replacing a drum machine. He was a member of the group from their international breakthrough with the album Autobahn (1974) and remained as they experimented with proto techno on albums such as Trans-Europe Express (1977) and Computer World (1981).
Frustrated with the half-a-decade it took to produce Electric Cafe (1986), he left the band after the LP’s release — it wouldn’t be until a 2009 reissue that Flür received an artist credit on the album. He has pursued a solo career under the name Yamo, published his memoir I Was a Robot.
His most recent full-length album Magazine 1 dropped in 2022, and saw him collaborate with huge names including Carl Cox, Peter Hook, Midge Ure and others and is a testament to his status and continued relevance.
On support, with a DJ set is DMX Krew! Having released six full albums on Aphex Twin's label Rephlex Records, DMX Krew’s position in the pantheon of electronic musicians is already assured, but he consistently knocks out top quality acid and synth wizardry. It's a thrill to have him back on a Byrd Out bill.
