Biography of Roman Stange

Moniker(s) / luther mandross

Roman Stange is the dark horse of the Auralism stable in more ways than one. Experiencing Techno’s birth in the 80’s Detroit, as a teenager, Stange has Soul and Techno music in his blood. In the early 90’s Stange emerged on the other side of the Techno underground with a penchant for immersive soulful sound scapes ringing to a 4/4 beat. After relocating to Boston, Roman quickly began pushing the shaded experimental underbelly of electronic music—minimal, IDM, and industrial—against the city's prevailing indie rock scene, performing leftfield live PAs with the renowned Toneburst & Lollygagger collectives, which also included Hrvatski (Keith Whitman Fullerton), DJ C, Mr. In Ter Rupt , Soplerfo, DJ/Rupture, and ESP.

Based in San Francisco since 2006, Stange has come out of retirement and has taken up the West Coast's vibrant dance-floor culture as his personal call to arms, hearkening back to his Detroit roots to create immersive, psychedelic groovers blooming with mechanized soul. 2008 will see several Roman Stange cuts out on Auralism.  Including remixes from Dave Aju, Elon, Jason Short, and rumor has it a secretive Spacetime Continuum (Jonah Sharp) remix.  Jason Shorts remix of Stange's Paratroupr has already been charted and mixed by Jonas Kopp, Habersham, Elon, and Alland Byallo.  Roman is also one half of Luther Mandross with Jason Short, and one half of Sinthe with Craig Kuna of [KONTROL].

Since January 2008 Roman has DJ'd opening slots for Franklin De Costa, Pan-Pot, Stewart Walker, Agaric, and Thomas Melchior.  All the while assisting in the duties of promotions  at Auralism Records.  Which include a successful residency at the Lil Brthr monthly at 222 Hyde  in San Francisco and Comfort Sessions presented by Auralism Records on Proton Radio.
