CØLDSTAR - Time Machine
CØLDSTAR’s "Time Machine" is a hauntingly beautiful trip back to the neon-soaked heart of the 80s.
Blending dark synth-pop with cosmic nostalgia, the track pulses with analog warmth, its deep bassline and shimmering synths painting a melancholic soundscape. The duo’s signature vocoder-laced vocals add an otherworldly touch, reinforcing the song’s theme of being lost in time.
The chorus is a hypnotic swirl of longing, capturing the ache of memories that feel just out of reach. As the beat drives forward with robotic precision, airy pads and icy synth stabs contrast against the warmth of analog textures, creating an emotional push-and-pull. The production is rich, allowing each element to breathe while maintaining a danceable groove.
Lyrically, CØLDSTAR’s "Time Machine" is a love letter to an era where music, romance, and neon lights intertwined in a fleeting, dreamlike haze. The instrumental bridge swells like a cosmic wave before fading into the darkness, leaving the listener suspended in its nostalgic glow.
A perfect fusion of retro-futurism and melancholic euphoria, "Time Machine" is a must-listen for fans of Kavinsky and classic synth-driven cinema soundtracks.
CLDSTAR consists of Martin Baumann and Michael Freund, who have another fascination besides their passion for dark and electronic music: space! Inspired by the dark and mysterious side of the universe, the two-piece have created their own aesthetic of danceable melodies and melancholic soundscapes. CØLDSTAR use analog synthesizers and vocoders from bygone eras.
