Highway Superstar is the stage name of Alex Karlinsky (אלכס קרלינסקי), an Israeli electronic music artist whose sound is a nostalgic fusion of 80s inspired synthwave and modern electro. With the genuine flair of retro synth music, entwined with contemporary production values, Karlinsky crafts melodic soundscapes that not only evoke the golden era of synthesizer music but also resonate with today's audience. Since emerging in the music scene, Highway Superstar has become synonymous with the retrowave and outrun movements, connecting with fans who have a penchant for vintage synths and drum machines wrapped up in a modern aesthetic.

Karlinsky's project has been a significant part of the resurgence of the 80s influenced genres, a factor which is reflected in his discography as it boasts a slew of singles like "Zeroing," a track from his 2020 album "First Person Shooter," that captures the raw energy of arcade video games and action movies from that decade. Collaborations with other artists in the synthwave scene, such as "Down This Road," exhibit Highway Superstar's ability to create infectious melodies and soundtracks for the modern listener's life. With releases like "Contraband," "Pangea," and "Run," the artist continues to experiment and refine his distinctive sound. Singles like "Launcher," "Socially Distanced," "Maximum Performance," "Slow Motion," and "Visiondome" showcase a wide range of emotions and styles, from upbeat anthems to contemplative tracks, offering a versatile listening experience for fans around the globe.
