February 2025: Norwegian singer Julie Bergan releases the EP “EURONITES” - six tracks built on the female-vocal-plus-rap-plus-140-BPM formula that Eurodance used to conquer European charts twenty years ago. A Chartmetric article in October 2023 reported that streaming consumption of 90s Eurodance is growing faster than any other retro genre. Modern Eurodance artists fall into three camps - veterans with new releases, studio revival projects, and a new generation that discovered the genre through TikTok. Below are fifteen projects releasing fresh material right now.
The veterans return: Cascada, Lasgo, Lian Ross
Cascada - the most commercially successful Eurodance act of the 2000s (the single “Everytime We Touch” sold over 2 million copies in 2005-2006). In 2026, Natalie Horler and producer Simon Klose released “Youtopia”, the first solo single after the disco covers album “Studio 24”. The track follows the classic scheme: verse with soft female vocals, rap bridge, chorus with belted singing on the top note. The songwriting credits list Natalie Horler, Simon Klose, Jaro Omar and René Miller - four writers, just like the peak Stock Aitken Waterman years.
Lasgo, the Belgian trio whose “Something” has amassed over 100 million streams, returned in 2024 with a new vocalist and a live show. The group retains 1.4 million unique monthly listeners on Spotify - a figure unavailable to most revival projects. The Lasgo comeback is not a studio recording but a concert model: a show with new choreographic numbers and refreshed visuals. In this, the Belgian approach resembles German Eurodisco projects that survived for decades on touring.
Lian Ross - the voice of German Italo/Eurodisco since the 1980s - recorded “Angel In The Dark” as a duet with Fancy (Manfred Segieth) in 2026. The collaboration continued a line of previous joint singles. Both artists started in the German Italo scene of the 1980s and never stopped working: Ross released singles every year since 2018, Fancy since 2020. The single “Angel In The Dark” runs 6:37 - the format of a 90s 12-inch maxi-single, not a modern 2:50 streaming track.
Studio revival projects: 7dance, MHM, Newrodance
A wave of projects unconnected to 90s names deliberately recreates the sound. 7dance is an Italian project by Gionata Darilli, releasing singles on the G.Dance Records label. On the track “The Way”, vocals were recorded by Melody Castellari - a session singer whose voice appears on dozens of Italo Disco and Eurodance records from the 1980s-1990s. Production uses hardware synthesizers with classic 90s methods, no AI tools. The single “Fly”, released in July 2025, blends Eurodance rhythm with Italian italodance melody.
MHM is a German project that released three singles in 2026: “Stronger Than Ever” (March), “Back 2 Dance” (May, 205 thousand YouTube views in two weeks) and “Run The Night” (May, 112 thousand views). Each track follows the formula: female vocals in the chorus, rap verse, 132-138 BPM. MHM works with a female singer and an MC - two voices, like 2 Unlimited, SNAP! and Culture Beat. The “Back 2 Dance” video is shot in the aesthetic of 90s green-screen clips: neon gradients, dancer silhouettes, pseudo-sporty choreography.
DV-116 and the hardware approach
DV-116, a project from Dortmund, describes its mission as “reimagining the unforgettable Eurodance sounds of our youth with modern production quality”. The album “Broken Paradise” came out in 2026. Unlike most revival projects, DV-116 releases not just singles but full-length albums - a rare practice for a niche electronic genre. The album includes the track “Music in Our Mind” and a remastered version of “Light My Fire” - not a Doors cover, but an original Eurodance-wrapped composition.
Newrodance is another German project that released “Alive Again”, described as “Culture Beat and Masterboy in modern production”. The track appeared on YouTube in March 2026 and is positioned as “premium electronic production for those who miss the authentic energy of 1990s dance icons”. This is a marketing stance: Newrodance does not reference specific 90s producers, but copies structural elements - the intro synth riff, the female vocal hook, the rap bridge between the second verse and the final chorus.
New generation: Julie Bergan and post-TikTok Eurodance
Julie Bergan is a Norwegian singer with a decade-long career in pop music. The “EURONITES” EP is her first step into Eurodance aesthetics. Synthesizer pads, four-on-the-floor kick, female vocals with reverb - a sound she herself describes as “club-ready, nostalgia-inducing”. The generation that discovered the music of the Eurodance era through short videos comes to the genre differently: without nostalgia, as a fresh discovery.
DJ Momotaro from Dortmund founded the Momodisco Records label and Momodisco Studios. His single “Play Me Like A Hit Single” blends Italo Disco, Eurodance, Retro Pop and synthwave into a cohesive neon sound. He writes, mixes and masters every track himself - from melody to final master. A model impossible in the original Eurodance era, when recording required a professional studio with a multitrack tape machine and external synthesizers costing several thousand Deutschmarks.
EuroRefur released the deluxe version of the album “7 Galaxies” in October 2023. Twenty tracks in the Eurodance/Dance-Pop genre, including updated versions of “My Way”, “Give It To Me”, “Unicorn Pirates Of Candyland” and “Raven Fly”. The album features remixes by Pirendantion - a producer working in the adjacent dance-pop niche. Dalimas is the stage name of Brazilian singer Gisele Abramoff, who was the voice of 2000s Eurodance in Brazil (“Livin' on a Prayer”, “Angels”, “Dreams”) and is now based in Munich, combining vocals with modern electronic production.
Solo comebacks: Nathalie Aarts and Jenny Dee
Beyond project-based returns, several solo careers have gained a second life. Nathalie Aarts - a Dutch singer known for 90s Eurodance singles - builds her comeback through a system of duets. Each new single is recorded with a different partner: Samus Jay and MC Fixx It on “Never Give You Up” (2023), Luis Rodriguez on “Rhythm Of My Heart” (2023), Jenny Dee on “Living On A High” (2026), Dino Brown on “More and More” (a Captain Hollywood cover). This model - collaboration after collaboration - lets the singer stay in rotation without releasing a full album. Jenny Dee, her partner on “Living On A High”, is an independent singer whose single came out simultaneously on vinyl and digitally. The vinyl release offers four colour variants, with an exclusive 80s TuMe RMX on the B-side, unavailable on streaming platforms.
The 90s Kids is a project releasing Eurodance versions of modern pop hits: “I'll Fly With You (L'Amour Toujours)”, “Just Dance”, “Teenage Dirtbag”, “Barbie Girl”. The 2023 tracks gathered hundreds of thousands of Spotify streams. The single “Miracle (Eurodance Version)” appeared on Apple Music in June 2023. This is not revival in the strict sense, but a hybrid: a familiar melody wrapped in 90s tempo and arrangement. Sped-up versions are a separate subformat, designed for the short-form video ecosystem of TikTok and Reels.
BARTEE and niche labels
BARTEE is a Swedish project releasing Eurodance remixes and covers on Spotify. The 2025 single “Hold On Tonight (90s Euro Rap Mix)” and the 2024 album “No More Lies” are the product of a single producer working in the 90s aesthetic. BARTEE releases include “Find The Way (Michael Breitung Remix)”, “You Got Me (Michael Breitung Remix)” and “Ever More (Euro Disco Instrumental Mix)” - each with its own mix, like in the era of 12-inch maxi-singles.
Similar projects appear on niche labels like Eurodance Vibes (Netherlands) and G.Dance Records (Italy), which specialise exclusively in revival material. Eurodance Vibes released the CD single “Never Give You Up” by Samus Jay and Nathalie Aarts - a physical medium for a digital audience. G.Dance Records works with the Italian scene, bringing in session singers like Melody Castellari, whose voices appeared on original Italo records in the 1980s.
Why the genre came back
Three factors define the modern Eurodance renaissance. First, algorithmic recommendation: short fragments of Eurodance tracks on TikTok and Reels work as hooks leading to full songs. The 2023 Chartmetric article noted that 90s Eurodance attracts “a new generation of artists” - meaning not only listeners but musicians who start creating in the genre. Second, production accessibility: DAWs, software synthesizers and sample libraries let one person produce a track at the level of a 1994 studio in a week, not a month. Third, a community of collectors and DJs that sustains the genre through vinyl reissues and club sets.
The difference between the 90s and the 2020s is economic. An Eurodance single used to require a studio, session musicians, a label, distribution. Now a producer with a laptop releases a track that an algorithm delivers to a listener in hours. MHM got 205 thousand views on “Back 2 Dance” in two weeks - without radio rotation, without a major label, without a physical medium. But the formula remains: female vocals in the chorus, rap verse, synthesizer hook, tempo above 130 BPM. Modern Eurodance artists are not reinventing the genre - they are restoring its original structure under new production conditions. And they do it not out of nostalgia, but because the formula works: a straight drum, a synth melody and two voices still fill the dancefloor.
