This Detroit-based artist will take audiences on an alternate journey down the neon highway in Perth this November. “His work has a precision, a focus and a unique identity that is distinct among artists operating within the 80's-inspired scene.” — Michael CA, Synthetix.FM Phaserland is a strangely entrancing beast. From humble beginnings in his home studio in 2013, this solo artist – Ross Trinkaus – has built a creative connection between 80s-inspired nostalgia and a modern blend of rich synthesizer tones over the course of three standout releases. Transcending the standard genre fanfare in favour of more experimental sounds, his latest effort—Cosmic Boundaries—sees Trinkaus meticulously reframe his origins through a kaleidoscope of warm, sophisticated tunes that connect with the very heart of the listener. GIVE COSMIC BOUNDARIES A LISTEN ------------- > https://rossocorsarecords.bandcamp.com/album/cosmic-boundaries Influenced by past jazz and funk ties, his love of early soundtracks and artists like mitch murder, Tesla Boy and SelloRekT /LA Dreams solidified his synthwave ventures early on – driven by the need to explore topics like space travel, sex, computer games and romance in contemporary times. Described by the artist himself as ‘part nostalgic, part neon sex and part feel-good fun’, Cosmic Boundaries is mature foray into new-school retro with touches of chillwave, psychedelic and soft rock for measure. “He evokes the humble beginnings of the 80s inspired synthwave genre and throws in neo-electronica sounds… Phaserland is an absolute dream.” — Darren DeToni, DRIVE Radio Phaserland live is a truly mesmerising experience. The emotive power of his music works its way through every inch of your psyche, transitioning from surging, heated beats to climbing, ethereal highs. Feel your body move when he makes his Australian debut this November. Tickets available now through Eventbrite: phaserlandmelb.eventbrite.com.au. _____________________________ SUPPORT ACT // JORDAN F Jordan F is a Sydney-based producer who makes 80s synthesizer music with modern fidelity.
