Various Artists - Strobes in Space: Indie Sleaze, Nu Rave & Future Disco 2000-2009 - Limited Deluxe Edition Vinyl LP Record

Expected release date: 23 May 2025. Strictly Limited to 25 Copies

Picture the scene. The year 2000 has passed and the new millennium is just getting underway – a new scene explodes onto the nation’s Indie dancefloors. Some called it Indie Sleaze, Nu Rave, Future Disco or even Electroclash – ‘Strobes in Space’ takes you back to a time when the Indie kids re-discovered the joys of dancing, raving and having fun at Indie clubs.

Day-Glo, light sticks, baggy t-shirts and hedonism on the dance floors – welcome to Strobes in Space!

When the Indie Dance / Nu Rave scene crashed onto the dancefloors and ignited the youth of the time, it seemed like uber-cool and incredible new bands were appearing from all corners of the globe almost every day. An explosion of creativity and excitement flooded the clubs and airwaves.

From the UK you had bands like Bloc Party, Klaxons, Test Icicles, Playgroup, Simian Mobile Disco.

Coming out of NYC you had the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Fischerspooner.

From France, Phoenix from Versailles and Black Strobe from Paris.

Tiga from Canada, Digitalism from Hamburg, Germany, Cut Copy from Melbourne, Australia.

And from Belgium, Soulwax and Goose, even spreading to South America with CSS coming out of São Paulo, Brazil.

It really was a global scene.

Two-Piers Records brings you a snapshot of that scene at the time on their latest compilation Strobes in Space.

Spanning across 3 x LPs, 30 tracks and artists – hopefully it has captured a slice of the excitement and creativity of the time, and this compilation makes you feel joyful, happy, and you just want to get up, dance and have fun!
