Novaspace is the quintessential sound of early 2000s European nightlife, where the melodies of the 1980s were reborn through the lens of high-gloss trance production. It is music that feels like a laser light show in a bottle: bright, synthetic, and relentlessly upward-moving. The core of the sound is built on driving four-on-the-floor kicks and the iconic 'supersaw' synth leads that defined the era's dance charts.
What makes the project distinctive is the specific vocal delivery of Jessica Boehrs, which leans into a breathy, almost ethereal pop sensibility that contrasts with the aggressive, gated synth pads. While many Eurodance acts focused on original compositions, Novaspace mastered the art of the 'trance cover,' taking melancholic 80s hits and injecting them with a massive dose of club-ready adrenaline. The production is maximalist and polished to a mirror shine, prioritizing energy and melodic hooks above all else.
For those looking to dive in, the debut album 'Supernova' is the essential starting point. It captures the project at its peak popularity, featuring the definitive club versions of 'Time After Time' and 'To France.' It is the perfect soundtrack for anyone who wants the emotional resonance of classic songwriting paired with the physical impact of a 140 BPM dance floor anthem.
Novaspace was a German Eurodance project originated in 2002 by the record producer Felix Gauder, featuring Jessica Boehrs as the singer, who was later replaced by Jenny Marsala. Between 2002 and 2004, Novaspace achieved international success with covers of the 1980s hits, such as "Time After Time", "Guardian Angel" and "Beds Are Burning", particularly in German-speaking countries.
