Freiboitar

Cologne-based DJ and producer Freiboitar - Nils Laga behind the alias - builds sun-drenched disco house where French touch precision meets genuine dancefloor warmth, placing him squarely alongside Purple Disco Machine, Claptone, Aeroplane and Todd Terje. Classically trained at the piano before electronic music pulled him sideways through an indie band and never released him, Laga brings a musician’s ear to productions built on funk-laden basslines, driving house rhythms and a nostalgic disco warmth that sounds simultaneously like 1978 and right now. Releases on Urbana, No Brainer, Exploited, Mother Recordings and Indiana Tones built a catalog that landed “Nobody Dance” at #1 on the Beatport House Charts and earned him a spot on Claptone’s Defected label compilation. His reimagination of Steely Dan’s “Do It Again” as “Back Jack” was signed to 3 Beat / Universal. His forthcoming remix for ADALA on Tom Novy’s label continues the run.
