What is EDM?
EDM is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres made largely for nightclubs, raves, and festivals. EDM 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 the United Kingdom and in continental Europe, EDM is more commonly called ‘dance music’, or simply ‘dance’.
In America, the term ‘electronic dance music’ (EDM) is used to describe the wide variety of genres that fall under the umbrella of electronic dance music. These include but are not limited to: house, techno, trance, dubstep, drum and bass, and hard dance.
