Timecop1983 is a producer from Eindhoven in The Netherlands. His style is best described as romantic and cinematic, inspired by the 80’s. He is a one-man band, creating Synthwave music with (vintage) synthesizers and a computer, but he works together with other musicians and vocalists regularly.
He started making music when he was 12 when a friend gave him a floppy disk with Scream Tracker for MS-DOS. He didn’t have any musical background and he never learned to play a musical instrument, but he was determined to learn to make his own music.
After years of experimenting and learning how to create music he got inspired by the movie Drive (2011) and he decided to create Synthwave. That’s when Timecop1983 was born and soon his music was picked up by NewRetroWave on Youtube. He is now considered as one of the top artists in the Synthwave genre and he has released multiple albums, EP’s and singles which have accumulated millions of plays on the major digital music platforms. All the while staying independent.
His music has been featured in various (short) films, including major productions like DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” and Netflix’ “Lucifer” and he has done several soundtracks for videogames and other productions.
He has played many international live shows, including gigs at the world famous Amsterdam Dance Event and he has done 2 US headlining tours.
