LP version.
The Colorful World Of Arp Frique
is the exotic and super funky debut album of
Niels Nieuborg
, aka
Arp Frique
. The debut follows his very well-received debut release on Rush Hour (RHSTORE JAMS11, 2018). Pulsating New York City style live disco vibes, interwoven with both Caribbean and Cape Verdean sounds, are themes throughout the record with danceability always guaranteed and a healthy finishing touch of weirdness present across most tracks. First single "Nos Magia" was shortlisted for Track of the Year 2017 at
Gilles Peterson
's Worldwide Awards and has been given airplay by BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, and NTS whilst club DJs
Antal
and
Hunee
have all supported the track in their sets. The Arp Frique alter ego is a reference of course to two things Nieuborg clearly appreciates in music: firstly, the sound of the Arp synths and secondly, by referring to
Chic
's "Le Freak" -- he is also showing love to the genre of disco. Be sure to know however, that you are not listening to edits of seventies jams. Arp Frique's music may sound vintage and authentic at times but all tunes are original and made with live instruments. Mind you though, that all compositions are the product of the "insatiable creative urge" of just one man. As part of a wholly different career, Nieuborg once owned a venue and programmed various venues and festivals, like his latest success, Festival Magia. With that knowledge in the back of your mind, the impressive cast on the album -- which follows on 2017's
Nos Magia
EP -- seems logical. Nevertheless, the status level of the contributors is astonishing. There's a Cape Verdean funana song featuring legend
Americo Brito
on vocals, an infectious Brazilian disco funk hit-to-be with
Ed Motta
, two tracks with Surinam's famous
Ronald Snijders
on flute, three collaborations with Afro-beat don
Orlando Julius
and so much more. Also features
Humphrey Campbell
.
