Nu-disco

Nu-disco is a 2000s dance music genre that is associated with a renewed interest in 1970s and early 1980s disco, boogie, and Italo disco sounds. It distinguishes itself from the earlier disco revival scene by being more influenced by European electronic music.

Nu-disco emerged in the early 2000s as a reinterpretation of disco sounds from the 1970s and early 1980s. It draws inspiration from disco, boogie, Italo disco, and synth-pop. The genre gained popularity through online music communities and independent record labels, with artists experimenting with vintage synthesizers, drum machines, and production techniques to recreate the classic disco vibe with a modern electronic twist. It differs from earlier disco revivals by incorporating more European electronic music influences.
