"One can find a secure feeling for melodies, impressing even more, if you know that Frieder Nagel is a self-taught musician. Dark and intriguing are his productions filled with synthesizers, simple rhythms yet astonishing intensity."  Tsugi (FR)

Frieder Nagel offers up a mystical world, full of warm synths and detailed sound clusters. He invites his listeners to get lost in an universe that spans from euphoric to devastating excitement. His debut ep Distract Robots (2019 | InFiné Music) was described by XLR8R as an"otherworldly treat tak[ing] the listener down a constantly morphing auditory wormhole full of light, darkness, and cosmic bliss".

The producer and composer is known for bringing David August and the German Symphonic Orchestra together in 2016. In the same year Nagels stage debut was published by Boiler Room and he performed at Philharmonie Essen, the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg as well as underground clubs like Acud in Berlin, Nr. z. Pl. in Bielefeld or K4 in Nuremberg. His remix for experimental artist La Boum Fatale entered German Clubcharts #25, besides Nagel delivered dj-sets for Radio stations in Berlin (Flux FM), Munich (Ego FM) Cologne (WDR Cosmo) and produced the musicvideo for Daniel Brandt´s Track Flamingo published by London based label Erased Tapes. Last summer he composed the music for Don Juan Techno Club by japanese choreographer Fukiko Takase at Gluck Festspiele Nuremberg and for the interactive documentary Field Trip by Eva Stotz about Berlin´s abandoned airport Tempelhof. His second ep KAROSHI has been released April 3rd 2020 by french label InFiné and was praised by Groove magazine (DE) as "a production perfectly arranged with supreme ease".
