Frieder Nagel makes a much-anticipated return to InFiné with a new series of his signature retro- futuristic and symphonic electronica. This time, his sound is more beat-driven and high pressure, yet it retains the elegant balance between traditional instrumentation and his deep obsession with vintage synths. ‘Do as I Please’ is a haunting anthem that echoes the euphoric mid-2000s golden age of melodic club music—both exhilarating and hypnotic.

As soon as the German composer and sound artist begins to improvise on his Moog and muscle memory takes over, the listener is transported to a space between downfall and resurgence. At its core, ‘Do as I Please’ captures the eternal struggle between surrender and control—the inner dialogue between despair and hope. It reflects the overwhelming desire to break free from the machinery of life while still yearning for stability.

‘The whole scenery reminds me of…’ says Frieder Nagel, leaving the thought unfinished—an invitation for the listener to complete the story. Known for his complex, boundary-pushing approach to electronic music, Nagel has steadily built a reputation beyond the mainstream radar. A dedicated synth collector and sonic craftsman, he has performed internationally, collaborated with visual artists, and designed immersive spaces where music and art collide.
