Dance and electronic music in Memphis may not dominate the live music scene, but it has a dedicated following and a growing presence in local venues. Clubs like Paula & Raiford’s Disco and Club 152 keep dance floors packed with a mix of house, techno, and bass-heavy beats. For larger-scale events, the Growlers and Black Lodge host electronic artists and DJ nights, bringing in regional talent alongside national acts. Festivals and pop-up events also play a role, with organizers hosting warehouse-style parties and outdoor raves that give fans a chance to experience underground electronic music in a raw, energetic setting.

The scene thrives on diversity, pulling in elements from hip-hop, funk, and soul, reflecting the city’s broader musical influence. Crosstown Arts and Hi-Tone occasionally feature electronic musicians who experiment with ambient sounds, synth-driven compositions, and live production. While Memphis isn’t a major hub for this genre, dedicated promoters and DJs continue to carve out space for dance and electronic music, offering fans everything from high-energy club nights to immersive audiovisual performances in unconventional spaces.
