Laserdance is a seminal act widely recognized within the electronic music scene, particularly for their contributions to the Spacesynth genre, a subgenre of Italo Disco. Formed in the early 1980s, Laserdance is essentially a duo, comprising of Dutch producers Michiel van der Kuy and Erik van Vliet, although initially van Vliet was primarily involved in the business side and van der Kuy was responsible for composing and producing the music. Their sound is characterized by its futuristic synthesizer melodies, danceable beats, and the thematic use of space and science fiction elements, a trait that is well-demonstrated in their album titles and track names.

The duo reached new heights of popularity in the mid to late '80s with a string of successful singles, including their notable track "Laserdance," which was released in 1984. Over time, they produced a series of albums that welded their status in the electronic music community, with records such as "Future Generation" and "Around The Planet" being cornerstones of their discography. After a period of silence during the late '90s and early 2000s, Laserdance has resurfaced with new releases such as "Trans Space Express" and "Force Of Order," which showcase the group's unwavering commitment to their unique synth-driven sound, while also embracing modern production techniques. Their influence continues to resonate in contemporary electronic circles and among aficionados of the retro-futuristic synth genre.
