Bob Nagel

On a cold December night, back in 1989, a landing spaceship was spotted in the eastern part of Holland.  With a distinguished and very loud noise, the spaceship ejected a projectile onto the ground. This projectile grew to be the foetus Bob Nagel.

While growing up, his unearthly powers became so strong, they had to be contained or channelled into something. This ended up being music and his extreme focus on music made him into a young gun with an amazing musical knowledge. As a result he managed to play rare records, obscure tracks and straight up classics in the most beautiful clubs of Amsterdam like Trouw, Melkweg, Paradiso, Westerunie and Studio 80. The personal highlight of his career so far was warming up before another almost alien-like being: Moodymann at Trouw last February. Apart from just playing records, Bob is also involved in a new club concept called Subway, by the looks of it, we will hearing that name a lot more often.

Bob is inspired by the following grandmasters: Maarten Bloem, Jasper Wolff, Maarten Mittendorff, Luc Nagel, Frans Nagel, Ingeborg Struijk, Casper Tielrooij, Thomas Martojo, Michael Jacques, Jan van Kampen, Olff, Antal(and the whole Rush Hour crew), Ricardo Villalobos, Moritz von Oswald, Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Steve Rachmad, Drexciya, Robert Hood, Gangstarr, Guru, Dilla, Wu-Tang and just about any other organisation, promoter or person who helps keeping good music alive.

However he is most inspired by; a birdsong in spring, a walk around downtown Amsterdam, the sounds of spaceships whooshing by and of course, long strolls along the beach and candle light diners.
