Spacesynth, also known as synthdance and spacedance, is a modern U.S.A. term to describe various 1980s music styles of European electronic dance music, that emerge from a 70s Eurodisco music style, called Space Disco. Most tracks are completely instrumental and are focused on upbeat futuristic, science fiction and epic battle scene style themes with driving basslines and catchy synthesizer riffs. The genre began in the late 1970s as Space Disco and lasted until the early 1990s. The French electronic rock band Rockets pioneered the genre, releasing some disco hits from 1978 to 1981. Since the genre's decline it has gone underground, with new albums being published by a number of European independent record labels. .
