Released on June 13, 2025, “Cold Rain October” marks a bold and emotional debut for Vienna-based duo CELLARDOOR.MP3 & JUST MARTIN. After years of success behind the scenes as producers under the alias murdsdrum, including collaborations with heavyweights like Central Cee, Capital Bra, and Dardan, the pair have now stepped into the spotlight with a project that’s deeply personal. And it shows.
This track isn’t just their first official release under their new singer-songwriter identity—it’s a heartfelt introduction that sets the tone for their next chapter.
At its core, “Cold Rain October” is about real, unfiltered emotion. Inspired by artists like Post Malone and Kid Laroi(note: possibly referencing “Kid Karoi” from the original source), the song captures a moody, melancholic atmosphere without sacrificing melody or accessibility. The lyrics are honest and raw, speaking to a kind of pain that feels both personal and universal. Whether you’re dealing with loss, regret, or just navigating the colder seasons of life, there’s something here that hits home.
Yet, it doesn’t feel heavy in a way that weighs the listener down. In fact, one of the song’s greatest strengths is how easy it is to listen to, despite its emotional weight. It plays like a rainy drive home, the kind where the world outside the window matches what’s going on inside your head. And that’s the point—it’s not trying to distract you from your feelings, but rather, accompany you through them.
One of the most impressive aspects of “Cold Rain October” is its authenticity. The duo did everything themselves—from recording real guitar tracks to handling the production and songwriting. The result is a sound that feels alive in a way that polished pop songs often don’t. It’s textured, human, and honest.
Recorded in Himberg near Vienna, their hometown, the track benefits from a homegrown energy that speaks to the years they’ve spent honing their craft. “We learned everything by trial and error,” they said—and that DIY ethos pays off. Rather than sounding amateur, it sounds earned. These aren’t two kids dabbling in music. These are seasoned artists turning inward and pouring their experience into something meaningful.
What gives this single even more weight is the story behind it. As longtime friends and proven producers (with German Top 100 hits to their name), CELLARDOOR.MP3 & JUST MARTIN aren’t just trying music on for size. They’ve already lived it—successfully. But rather than chasing trends or sticking with what works, they’ve taken a risk and turned their gaze inward.
The move from making beats for others to stepping behind the mic themselves is a big one, but their debut proves that they’re not just capable—they’re ready.
There’s a quote from the press kit that sums it up beautifully:
“Bro, stop making shitty techno edits—you should be writing Billboard number one hits instead.”
That came from a member of Central Cee’s team during a studio session, and after listening to “Cold Rain October”, it’s easy to see why. This isn’t background noise—it’s music with main character energy.
Though they’ve just launched this new chapter, the duo already has plans to release new singles every 2–3 weeks, eventually leading to a full album. If “Cold Rain October” is the foundation, we can expect a catalog full of emotional storytelling, textured production, and genuine heart.
They may not have performances lined up yet, but the momentum is there. The consistency in their release schedule, the clarity of their vision, and their undeniable musical history suggest that it’s only a matter of time before we see them on stage—and likely on charts again, this time under their own names.
“Cold Rain October” is a stunning debut—poignant, polished, and personal. It introduces CELLARDOOR.MP3 & JUST MARTIN not as newcomers, but as artists stepping into their truth. For fans of vulnerable, modern songwriting with sleek production and real emotional depth, this is a must-listen.
It’s not just a song. It’s a beginning. And a damn strong one.
