Clubdance

Club and dance music, which bobbed onto the scene in the late 1980s, is the product of synthesiser-wielding DJs who decided that everyone ought to be dancing as if they were at a festival rather than a stuffy tea party. It's characterised by pulsing beats, catchy hooks, and the constant, often questionable, urge to keep you moving until your legs feel like jelly. Its influence is undeniable, as it has transformed nights out into marathon dance sessions, proving that a good bassline can make even the dreariest Monday feel like a rave.
