Space
Shimmering analog synths and cosmic disco rhythms that feel like a 1970s vision of the future. High-energy electronic voyages for late-night stargazing.

Space sounds like the glittering, neon-drenched soundtrack to a sci-fi film that was never made. It is a world of lush analog synthesizers, driving four-on-the-floor disco beats, and sweeping melodic arcs that aim directly for the stars. The music balances the kitsch of the late 70s with a genuine sense of wonder, creating a sonic environment that is both danceable and deeply atmospheric.
What makes them distinctive is their commitment to the 'Space Disco' aesthetic, utilizing early electronic instruments to create 'laser' sounds and bubbling textures that were revolutionary for the time. Unlike the gritty industrial electronics that would follow, Space maintained a polished, almost operatic sense of melody, often replacing traditional vocals with soaring synth leads that act as the protagonist of the song.
Start with 'Magic Fly' to experience their most iconic moment of cosmic pop perfection. From there, dive into the 'Deliverance' album to hear how they expanded their sound into more ambitious, multi-layered arrangements that bridged the gap between the discotheque and the planetarium.
Space (occasionally Didier Marouani & Space) are a French music band active from 1977 through 1980 and returning with on-stage remake performances since 1982. Their work is associated with the short-lived space disco genre and is a precursor of electronica.
