Nu-disco
Disco remade with modern production. Glossy, funky and very feel-good.
- Tempo, BPM
- 115–125
- Where it started
- Europe, 2000s
What it sounds like
Disco's funky basslines, guitars and strings, made with today's synths and drums. Cleaner and punchier than the 70s originals, often with a pop vocal on top.
