Arp Frique has been played on NTS over 10 times, featured on 15 episodes and was first played on 1 October 2017.

Arp Frique, a pseudonym of Dutch musician and songwriter Niels Nieuborg, is a contemporary funk / disco artist from The Netherlands. The Arp Frique alter ego is a reference to two things Nieuborg clearly appreciates in music: firstly the sound of the Arp synthesizer and secondly, by referring to Chic’s 'Le Freak', his love of disco. Arp Frique's music may sound vintage at times but all tunes are original and made with live instruments.

Arp Frique's debut album, Welcome to the Colorful World of Arp Frique (2018) was followed by two more live albums. He also made collaborative releases. His 2024 and 2025 output is generally credited to Arp Frique & The Perpetual Singers.
