Cold Body Club a new creative venture from Jonathan Horstmann, a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and vocalist best known for his work with Austin-based trio Urban Heat. While Urban Heat’s futuristic fusion of post-punk, new wave, and dark synths brought Horstmann critical acclaim, Cold Body Club ventures even further beyond genre constraints, weaving together elements of darkwave, electronic pop, industrial, and more. The result is a boundary-pushing sound that’s at once atmospheric, danceable, and unapologetically experimental.

 

Horstmann’s signature approach—layering urgent rhythms with haunting vocal melodies and intricate synth textures—remains at the core of Cold Body Club. Yet this project amplifies his restless creativity, inviting listeners into sonic landscapes inspired by underground club culture, raw post-punk energy, and forward-thinking electronic production. Having led his band to festival stages and theaters across North America and Europe, Horstmann carries that momentum into Cold Body Club, crafting music that feels both personal and futuristic.
