He’s built a name for himself as the disco don of the thriving scene in Reims, France. Singer, songwriter, producer, and label owner Yuksek does a little bit of everything, even applying his classical training to composing a film score last year. From longtime genre enthusiasts to newcomers to established bands taking a turn for the funky, here are nine artists making nu-disco a movement.

In 2012, Two Door Cinema Club returned with its sophomore album, the Jacknife Lee-produced Beacon.With its roots in escapism, it’s no surprise that disco has been thriving this year. Another single, "Undercover Martyn," arrived in January 2010, shortly before the band's first full-length Tourist History was released. The group's remixes of Phoenix's "Lasso" and Chew Lips' "Salt Air" also appeared that year, and by 2009's end, the group was among the acts featured in the BBC Sound of 2010 Poll.
Fortunately, the gamble paid off - the band's debut EP, Four Words to Stand On, was released in January 2009 by the hip French label Kitsuné to positive reviews and music blog buzz, which grew with the release of April's single "Something Good Can Work." That summer, Two Door Cinema Club recorded their debut album in London's Eastcote Studios with Eliot James, which they mixed with producer Philippe Zdar in Paris that fall.
The trio began playing as Two Door Cinema Club in 2007 and skipped going to university to focus on the band. Trimble and Halliday met in school, and met Baird through mutual friends.
