Time has always been at the heart of electronic music—its steady pulses, mechanical rhythms, and futuristic vision shaped the way we listen and move. Few artists understand this better than Wolfgang Flür. As a member of Kraftwerk during their most defining years, from Autobahn (1974) to Electric Café (1986), he played a role in setting the tempo for an entire musical movement. Decades later, he continues to explore the ever-accelerating relationship between music, technology, and the passage of time. His latest album, TIMES brings this theme to the forefront. A collaboration spanning generations of electronic pioneers and a blend of retro-futuristic elements with contemporary production, TIMES acts as both a reflection on the past and a step into the future—capturing the cyclical nature of electronic music and the way it continues to evolve. Joining us also is Peter Duggal, the producer behind TIMES and a longtime innovator in electronic music. With a career spanning back to the early ‘90s, Duggal has produced for Nintendo, remixed for Island Records, and contributed music to PlayStation VR. His collaboration with Flür began in 2015 and with TIMES, Duggal helps bridge past and future, blending classic electronic textures with modern production techniques. Much like time itself, Flür’s approach to music refuses to stand still. While TIMES acknowledges the nostalgia of classic electronic sounds, it also embraces new ideas, new collaborators, and new sonic landscapes. It’s an album that looks back while moving forward, reminding us that in music—as in life—yesterday, today, and tomorrow are always connected. Join us for an evening with Wolfgang Flür as we explore TIMES, discuss his career, and consider how electronic music continues to tick forward into the future.
