High-speed neon pulses and cinematic synth textures that feel like a midnight drive through a futuristic city. Retro-futurism for the digital age.
Meteor is the primary electronic project of Jorge Reyes, a Colombian graphic designer and musician who transitioned from a background in punk and rock to the synthwave scene in 2015. This rock pedigree is evident in the aggressive, driving nature of the compositions, which often feature more rhythmic urgency than typical chillwave or retrowave.
The project is a cornerstone of the 'Outrun' subgenre, characterized by its visual and sonic obsession with 1980s car culture and sci-fi aesthetics. Critically, Meteor is praised for high production values that balance digital clarity with the warmth of analog-style synthesis. The artist occupies a space alongside peers like Perturbator or Carpenter Brut but maintains a more melodic, space-oriented focus as seen in works like 'Adastra'. His influence web connects 80s film scores (John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream) with modern cyberpunk aesthetics. The project remains a favorite among the 'neon-noir' community and collectors of modern vinyl pressings of electronic music.
