In the mid-2000s, dubstep began to achieve mainstream success in the UK, with artists such as Dizzee Rascal and Skepta finding commercial success. By the 2010s, the genre had become one of the most popular forms of electronic dance music worldwide, with artists such as Skrillex and Calvin Harris achieving global success.

House

The first techno tracks were produced by Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, and Derrick May, who are often referred to as the ” Belleville Three”.Phuture, founded by Nate Smith, Emanuel Günther, and Marcus Heard in 1985 in Chicago, is often cited as being the first acid house record.
