Timecop1983, the moniker of Dutch producer Jordy Leenaerts, has become synonymous with the nostalgically-infused synthwave music scene. Emerging from the Netherlands, Leenaerts started Timecop1983 in 2013, crafting soundscapes that harken back to the neon-soaked ambiance of the 1980s. His music resonates with the warmth of vintage synthesizers, soaked in reverb, and driven by melodic undercurrents, telling stories without words. The moniker itself reflects a fondness for the era's aesthetic, combining the concept of time-travel with the iconic year of 1983 which many consider being the zenith of '80s pop culture.

Throughout his career, Timecop1983 has carved out a significant place for himself within the retro music wave. His compositions, such as "Searching for Tomorrow," "Faded Touch," and the "Arcade Dreams (Timecop1983 Remix)," are lamentations of love and longing, blending atmospheric synth lines with pulsing beats. The track "Feel for You," featured in the video game "Wave Break," showcases his ability to blend his signature sound with modernity, further cementing his stature as a leading figure in his genre. Timecop1983 consistently demonstrates an innate knack for creating tracks that feel simultaneously timeless and fresh, transporting listeners to a bygone era while staying rooted in contemporary production values.
