TimeMachine1985 draws inspiration from Synthwave, Pop, Rock, and Electro sounds, while infusing a modern and unique energy into this retro-futuristic blend. Signed to Polydor (Universal Music France), the band aims to capture the essence of a world where the memories of yesterday merge with today’s emotions.
Their journey began with a bold reinterpretation of Vanessa Carlton’s iconic hit “A Thousand Miles”, transformed into a one-of-a-kind Synthwave version. The success was immediate: extensive airplay on major French radio stations (Top 10 on the general airplay charts), over 3 million streams across platforms, and a record deal with Polydor (Universal Music France).
Following this momentum, TimeMachine1985 released their original single “Disappear”, and in March 2025 unveiled a cover of the cult classic “A Real Hero”, made famous by the film Drive.
Their single “Perfect Girl, Wrong World”, featuring the talented Jessie Frye, further established their place in the modern Synthwave scene. And most recently, the duo teamed up with Futurecop! for the nostalgic yet fresh collaboration “So…Far Away”.
With more music on the horizon, TimeMachine1985 is gearing up to release their highly anticipated debut EP by the end of the year.
