Dark Disco is a genre of dance music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, characterized by its use of electronic instrumentation, funk-inspired basslines, and a dark, moody atmosphere. It often incorporates elements of post-punk and new wave, and has been popularized by artists such as The Human League and Joy Division. The genre has experienced a resurgence in recent years, with artists such as The Juan Maclean and Hercules & Love Affair incorporating its sound into their music.
