Cobalt Road

Cobalt Road is the culmination of disco, electro pop, and an obsession with synthesizers in a single artist. The Floridian producer merges retro sounds with radio-ready songwriting while avoiding cliche. His tasteful synth and drum-machine productions are simultaneously timeless and current.

Cobalt Road began creating music to emulate the sounds of artists like <a href="spotify:artist:4tZwfgrHOc3mvqYlEYSvVi" data-name="Daft Punk">Daft Punk</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1gR0gsQYfi6joyO1dlp76N" data-name="Justice">Justice</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2CIMQHirSU0MQqyYHq0eOx" data-name="deadmau5">deadmau5</a>. A slow start soon found momentum in 2015 when Cobalt Road began to experiment with vaporwave. Inspired by the sounds of <a href="spotify:artist:0AEVuiJFczDd4dkmZh2Kha" data-name="VAPERROR">VAPERROR</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1oR9pQhucVTJyi5lH2Y2iT" data-name="Blank Banshee">Blank Banshee</a>, he struck a creative balance by making trap beats over slowed-down samples. 2015 saw the release of Purgatory, a cult-classic vaporwave release that continues to gain praise. Cobalt Road’s next big move would come in 2016 with the release of <a href="spotify:album:3BmBCAWIUMNAwbise0vJDe" data-name="Biosphere">Biosphere</a>, a split concept album with <a href="spotify:artist:7CZxA5ioO8wPbtgp2QaXzh" data-name="Staqq Overflo">Staqq Overflo</a>.

Following the nonstop creative surge of 2015 and 2016, Cobalt Road took a hiatus to quietly focus on other projects. Thankfully, the Fall of 2018 saw a new burst of ideas for him, returning to the disco and funk sounds of <a href="spotify:artist:4tZwfgrHOc3mvqYlEYSvVi" data-name="Daft Punk">Daft Punk</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1gR0gsQYfi6joyO1dlp76N" data-name="Justice">Justice</a>. By 2019, these ideas reached the surface with What’s Good, a poppy nu-disco single released on <a href="spotify:artist:4TTEh9cj0iUXFJFBHsysF4" data-name="Fibre">Fibre</a>&#39;s Montaime Records.
