Biography

Timecop1983's music is heavily inspired by music from the '80s and is best described as romantic, cinematic and dreamy. There are many names for the genre but he always likes to label it as Synthwave or Dreamwave.

Amongst producers like "Carpenter Brut", "Power Glove" and other more aggressive '80s inspired musicians he stands out by creating mainly romantic music that takes you back to the time of Back to the Future, Power Rock Ballads and hanging out at the mall with your friends while looking at girls in hotpants and neon clothes.

He has been making music since he was 12 years old and started making music with Scream Tracker in MS DOS on a 386 computer without any musical background. After a long time of learning how to make music by himself he could finally come up with his own songs and he started making all kinds of music, ranging from hardrock to classical music.

After years of exploring his taste Timecop1983 decided to fully focus on 80's inspired music. Especially the kind that creates a nostalgic/romantic feeling. His style is dreamy and emotional with modern/ambient/soundtrack influences and he is often praised for his uniqueness within the, still growing, "New Retro Wave" culture.

In 2015 his album "Reflections" took the #1 spot in the best abums of the year and in 2016 the #1 spot in the best EP's of the year by industry leading platform NewRetroWave. In 2016 he also started doing live shows and he has done many (international) performances since.
