Hi-nrg

Hi-NRG is an upbeat, energetic subgenre of disco and dance music that emerged in the late 1970s and gained prominence in the 1980s. Characterized by a fast tempo, typically around 120-140 BPM, it features pulsating basslines, soaring synthesizers, and powerful, often soulful vocals. The genre often incorporates elements of Eurodisco, funk, and electronic music, creating a high-energy atmosphere perfect for dance floors. Popularized by artists such as Donna Summer, Patrick Hernandez, and Evelyn Thomas, Hi-NRG songs often have a euphoric and anthemic quality. With its infectious rhythms and vibrant production, Hi-NRG remains a staple in dance music history, continuing to influence contemporary genres like synth-pop and electronic dance music (EDM).
