The Parisian night has rarely felt so electric. Star-Chaser releases « Still », an Indie Pop and Synth-pop track with Electronic and Synthwave / Cyberpunk undertones, steeped in a nostalgia that Depeche Mode themselves would not have disowned. Produced by Théo Paunovic-Castelain, the track explores digital addiction and inner stagnation with unsettling sharpness: glued to his screen, unable to move forward, the protagonist comes face to face with his own reflection and his shame. Yet beneath the numbness, a flame persists, the possibility of awakening, of a “Neo-Prometheus” who would choose light over modern algorithms and oligarchies. The lyric « La magie s’en ira if you don’t wake now » captures this urgent call to consciousness in a single line. The music video, directed by Théo Paunovic-Castelain, plunges the viewer into the nocturnal streets of Pigalle, filmed notably at the foot of the Moulin Rouge, revealing a side of Paris far from the postcards, both shadowy and fascinating. A must-watch, now on Slash Music.

A traveller between two worlds, between yesterday and tomorrow
Star-Chaser has been building a singular universe from the very start, rooted in a mytho-futuristic approach where disco becomes ritual and dancing an act of resistance. Drawing from the sounds of the 70s and 80s, groovy basslines, ambient synthesizers and haunting vocal effects, the artist crafts a music of the future made from echoes of the past. His cabalistic, introspective lyrics invite listeners to break free from the invisible structures shaping their desires, to resist the Architect and his malevolent eye. « Still », subtitled Oneiromachia, meaning literally “the battle of dreams” in Greek, confirms an artistic maturity and thematic consistency remarkable for such a personal project. The horizon looks full for Star-Chaser: the gaze is already fixed on what comes next in this spiritual and electronic journey. Get ahead of the curve and keep this artist firmly on your radar.
