What is Electronic Dance Music?
Electronic Dance Music, also known as EDM, is a genre of music that is characterized by a strong beat and a repetitive melody. It is usually produced with electronic instruments and is often played in nightclubs and festivals. EDM has become one of the most popular genres of music in recent years.
Origins
Electronic dance music (also known as EDM, dance music, club music, or simply dance) is a broad range of percussive electronic genres made largely for nightclubs, raves and festivals. It is generally produced for playback by disc jockeys who create seamless selections of tracks, called a mix by segueing from one recording to another.
EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting in what is sometimes called a live PA. In Europe and North America, EDM is more commonly called ‘dance music’, or simply ‘dance’.
The popularity of EDM was initially influenced by disco and club culture. The 1970s saw the rise of disco clubs in major cities around the world, where DJs would play long sets of dance music. This was followed by the 1980s rave scene, where illegal outdoor parties were held in fields and warehouses across the UK and North America. These parties often featured psychedelic decorations and drugs such as MDMA (ecstasy), which became an integral part of the culture.
The 1990s saw the rise of electronic dance music festivals such as Creamfields and Gatecrasher, which introduced the concept of the DJ set to a wider audience. In the 2000s, EDM entered the mainstream with artists such as David Guetta, Tiësto and Skrillex achieving commercial success.
Characteristics
There are various characteristics that define electronic dance music. These include the use of synthesizers, drum machines, and digital audio workstations (DAW) to create and produce tracks. Usually, EDM is created with the intention of being played in a live setting, such as a club or festival. This genre of music is often characterized by its fast tempo and highly energetic nature.
Popularity
EDM, or electronic dance music, is a genre of music that is characterized by a heavy focus on synthesizers and drum machines. EDM is often produced in a similar style to techno and house music, and it often features several layers of distorted, pitch-shifted, or otherwise processed sounds.
EDM has become increasingly popular in recent years, with festivals such as Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival becoming some of the largest music festivals in the world. The genre has also seen a surge in popularity in the United States, with EDM artists such as Skrillex and Avicii achieving mainstream success.
