KL-based synthwave duo Stellar Dreams comprising of Iqwan Ridzuwan (Jake) and Khairil Shah has already been making waves in the European scene with their brand of the 80s disco revivalism in darker shades mixed with a delicious blend of the smooth synthwave. Established in 2012, the duo met through MaddKidz Studio and decided to throw around beats until their début single, 'Nightvoid' was released. Their first single immediately caught the attention of a renowned German record label, 'Kiez Beats', and the hauntingly emotive track begins to get more airplay in Europe. Its sound pierces through the night, conjuring the loneliness of the open road; making it an overnight sensation, a true night driving anthem.
Heavily influenced by legends such as Daft Punk and Kavinsky and the 80s pop culture, their musical productions also seem to be greatly inclined towards the synthwave scene. With support from international acts such as Tommy(FR), Le Casette(UK), Lueur Verte(FR) and Betamaxx(US), this duo strives to revive the golden days of the 80's disco with synthwave-fused tracks and live sets.
From electro techno to hardstyle and house, these self-taught bedroom-producers were gradually exposed to the rich world of Synthy strings, Indie Pop and Electronica music; eventually developing their fascination and mutual affinity towards the Synthwave / Future Wave music scene. With their upcoming track “Beyond Memory” in tow with more of their hybrid compilations of M83-esque and John William's theatrical soundscapes, these Dreamers are set to conquer the music scene on a global scale with their golden touch.
