In 2010, there will be a resurgence of popularity in house music. This will be led by popular artists such as Calvin Harris, David Guetta, and deadmau5. These artists have been working hard to create new and innovative sounds that will appeal to a wide range of listeners. Additionally, they have been working to bring the genre back to its roots, which is evident in the increasing popularity of deep house and tech house.

3. Tech House – Tech house is a newer style of house music that combines elements of techno and progressive house. This genre is perfect for those who like their beats fast and their basslines heavy.

4. Progressive House – Progressive house is one of the most popular genres of dance music right now, and there’s no doubt that it will continue to be big in 2010. This style of music is known for its complex melodies and driving rhythms.

The Rise of Electronic Dance Music

Electronic Dance Music, also known as EDM, has been on the rise in recent years. 2010 is no different, as many music festivals and clubs are featuring EDM artists. If you’re into this genre of music, then you’re in for a treat. Here’s a look at what to expect from 2010 House music.

Mainstream Acceptance

In the past few years, electronic dance music (EDM) has exploded in popularity, crossing over into the mainstream consciousness. Artists like Skrillex,Deadmau5, and Calvin Harris have become household names, while festivals like Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival attract hundreds of thousands of fans each year.

What’s behind this surge in popularity? In part, it’s due to the increasing accessibility of EDM. Thanks to the internet, anyone can be exposed to this style of music from anywhere in the world. And with the rise of social media, it’s easy for fans to connect with each other and share their love of EDM.

As EDM continues to grow in popularity, we can expect to see more crossover success stories in the coming years. So if you’re curious about this style of music, now is the time to check it out!

Growth of Festivals

In recent years, electronic dance music (EDM) has seen a surge in popularity around the world. This has led to a corresponding increase in the number of EDM festivals being held each year.

EDM festivals are large-scale events that feature multiple stages and a wide variety of electronic music genres. Some of the most popular festivals include Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, Coachella, and Electric Daisy Carnival.

Festivals provide an opportunity for fans to see their favorite DJs and producers perform live, as well as discover new music. They also offer a chance to meet other like-minded people and make new friends.

With the continued growth of EDM, it is likely that festivals will become even more popular in the years to come.

Increased Production Values

As electronic dance music continues to rise in popularity, we can expect to see increased production values across the board. This means that we can expect bigger and better-produced shows, with more sophisticated light shows and sound systems. We can also expect to see more variety in the types of music being produced, as artists experiment with new sounds and styles.

The Fall of Dubstep

It’s no secret that dubstep has taken the world by storm. The problem is, it’s just not what it used to be. In 2010, we saw a rise in popularity of progressive house music. This is a genre that is similar to dubstep, but with a focus on melody and harmony.

Over-Saturation

By 2010, dubstep had reached critical mass in the U.S., with top 40 radio hits, commercial endorsements, and a new wave of producers taking the sound in directions its progenitors never imagined. The same thing happened with house music in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The sound got too safe, too predictable, too anything-but-transgressive. It became the lite version of itself, and as such, it eventually fell out of favor with clubgoers who craved something fresher, something more dangerous.

Lack of Innovation

In 2010, dubstep will fall victim to its own success. With the proliferation of blogs, Soundcloud, and social media, it has become easier than ever for aspiring producers to gain exposure. As a result, the dubstep sound has become increasingly homogenized, and it is becoming more difficult for artists to stand out from the crowd. This trend was already evident in 2009, with the release of several well-received but ultimately unoriginal albums. In 2010, we will see even more of this type of music, as producers attempt to cash in on the popularity of dubstep without adding anything new to the genre.

The Rise of Trap Music

In the late 2000s, dubstep began to take off in popularity, with artists like Skrillex and Flux Pavilion leading the charge. However, by 2010, dubstep was already starting to lose its luster, as trap music began to take over. Trap music is a subgenre of hip hop that is characterized by its heavy use of bass and drums. It often features samples of other genres, including dubstep.

Conclusion

In conclusion, 2010 is shaping up to be an exciting year for house music. With a variety of new artists and sub-genres emerging, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you prefer the deep, soulful sound of minimal house or the hard-hitting beats of electro, you are sure to find something to suit your taste. So get out there and start exploring – who knows what new musical treasures you may find!
