Accordingto Groove (DE) Frieder Nagel „combines Jazz, neo-classical, synthetics andbroken beats with supreme ease“. French magazine Tsugi writes: "Dark andintriguing are his productions filled with synthesizers, simple rhythms yetastonishing intensity." And Xlr8r from California describes his music asan "otherworldly treat tak[ing] the listener down a constantly morphingauditory wormhole". The German newcomer was signed by InFiné in 2019. Hehas released three eps on the parisian label so far and all were praised byfans and press worldwide.
