What is Indie Dance?

Indie dance has long been paired with nu-disco as one scene, formalized when Beatport added a combined 'Nu Disco / Indie Dance' genre category in July 2008.^[1] Both draw on a renewed interest in late 1970s disco and the dance styles that followed it.^[2]

On Videojam, Indie Dance carries 71 public videos. Artists most represented in the catalog are LCD Soundsystem, ZHU and RUFUS DU SOL. Indie Dance sits in the Indie & Electronic pillar of the EDM taxonomy, alongside Indie Electronic, and is also a DJ-Sets subgenre in the House family.
