A few weeks ago, when https://soundcloud.com/friedernagel announced Karoshi, the meaning of the term to him and the danger of overcapitalism to society, he did not expect a bat to challenge an entire global system.  With this new EP, Frieder takes us into a soundscape no doubt darker than but also full of solar hopefulness.

Frieder Nagel - Karoshi EP - 03.04.2020

Circuits is debut single of https://soundcloud.com/friedernagel new Karoshi EP - out  April 3rd. 

The track is formed by the hypnotic loop of several clarinets triggering a Juno 60 and Moog Sub 37 Synthesizer on a ruthless chase through their electric “circuits”, while massive chords and broken beats are leading their way. The listener feels simultaneously persecuted and attracted to a sound-aesthetic which has its origin in late 80´s end-of-the-world sci-fi soundtracks but carries within the complex texture of today´s finest electronica.

"Breeze" is undoubtedly the most solar contribution of Frieder Nagel´s Karoshi EP. A constantly evolving and growing rollercoaster ride with euphoric piano loops, sirens re-calling Blade-Runners famous opening titles from Vangelis, up-lifting live-drumming, almost symphonical drones, which evolve alongside carefully recorded woodwinds, dreamy vocal samples and a wellfed baseline underneath.
