Electroclash (also known as synthcore, retro-electro, tech-pop, nouveau disco, and the new new wave[3]) is a genre of popular music that fuses 1980s electro, new wave and synth-pop with 1990s techno, retro-style electropop and electronic dance music.[6][7][8] It emerged in the late 1990s and was pioneered by and associated with acts such as I-F, DJ Hell, Miss Kittin and The Hacker, and Fischerspooner.[9][10]
Electroclash combines the extended pulsing sections of techno, house and other dance musics with the trashier energy of rock and new wave.
Go to Berliniamsburg, the Brooklyn club at the epicentre of New York's eighties-inspired 'electroclash' scene, and you feel a peculiar sensation: it's not exactly like time travel, more like you've stepped into a parallel universe, an alternative history scenario where rave never happened.
