cellardoor.mp3 & just martin – “Cold Rain October”
cellardoor.mp3 & just martin Make a Poignant Debut with “Cold Rain October”
Vienna-based duo cellardoor.mp3 & just martin arrive with Cold Rain October, a debut single that feels more like a lived-in journal entry than a first step. Released on June 13, 2025, the track marks a significant transition for the childhood friends and longtime producers, known under the alias murdsdrum, into the world of singer-songwriter music.
Having previously landed in the German Top 100 and worked with names like Central Cee, Capital Bra, and Dardan, these two bring seasoned instincts to a fresh project. Cold Rain October is delicate but emotionally charged, with a stripped-down arrangement that puts its heart front and center. The track leans into melancholy with quiet confidence, drawing influence from artists like Post Malone and Kid Laroi, but also carrying the lo-fi tenderness reminiscent of Jeremy Zucker.
This isn’t just about sadness for the sake of sadness. The song speaks to raw moments that many people keep buried, anxiety, emotional fatigue, that feeling of being stuck between change and longing. The lyrics come from a place of real experience, wrapped in a production that feels both polished and deeply personal.
What sets Cold Rain October apart is its sincerity. Every detail, from the live-recorded guitar to the gentle vocal delivery, points back to the duo’s hands-on process. The entire track was crafted in Himberg, just outside Vienna, with nothing outsourced. It’s self-made in the truest sense, recorded, produced, and refined through years of trial, error, and relentless passion.
This release marks the beginning of a prolific run, with new singles promised every two to three weeks. And while this debut stands strong on its own, it also hints at a much larger story unfolding. If Cold Rain October is the prologue, it’s one that invites listeners to stay close and keep listening. There’s more on the way, and it’s coming from a place that feels genuinely real.
