Origins

In the late 1980s, French dancers and DJs began experimenting with a new style of music that blended elements of house, techno, and hip-hop. This new style of music, which came to be known as electro dance house or EDM, quickly gained popularity in nightclubs and dance music festivals around the world.

Where did it come from?

In the early 1990s, a new style of dance music called “electro house” or “electroclash” began to emerge. This blend of house music and electro-pop was influenced by a wide range of musical styles, including techno, disco, and hip-hop.

Electro house artists often use synthesizers, drum machines, and sequencers to create their music. This electronic sound is combined with traditional house elements like 4/4 beats and basslines.

The style first gained popularity in Europe, particularly in Germany and the UK. But it quickly spread to other countries, including the United States. In recent years, electro house has become one of the most popular genres of dance music.

Who were the first DJs to play this type of music?

The first DJs to play electro dance house music were probably in the clubs of Chicago and Detroit in the early 1980s. These DJs would mix disco, new wave, and early hip hop records together to create a new sound that was perfect for dancing. As the popularity of this new style of music grew, more and more DJs began to experiment with it, and soon there were electro dance house tracks being produced all over the world.
