What is Electronic Dance Music?

EDM is characterized by its use of electronic instruments and samples, as well as its fast tempos and catchy melodies. It’s often thought of as being ‘club music’, but there are many sub-genres that have found success in the mainstream charts.

The history of EDM is often traced back to the birth of house music in Chicago in the early 1980s. However, it was really in the 1990s that the genre exploded in popularity, thanks to the rise of rave culture and dance music festivals like Creamfields and Glastonbury.

In recent years, EDM has become one of the most popular genres in the world, with artists like Calvin Harris, Avicii and David Guetta selling millions of records and headlining some of the biggest festivals on the planet.

The History of Electronic Dance Music

Electronic dance music, also known as EDM, is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres produced largely for nightclubs, raves and festivals. EDM is generally produced for playback by DJs who create seamless selections of tracks, called a mix by segueing from one recording to another.

The history of electronic dance music is complex and spans over four decades. Early electronic dance music was often played in clandestine illegal venues, such as warehouse parties and underground clubs. This first wave of electronic dance music was spearheaded by artists like Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder in the late 1970s.

The second wave of electronic dance music came in the form of acid house and techno in the late 1980s. These genres were developed by pioneers like Detroit techno producers Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson, as well as Chicago house producer Frankie Knuckles. The early 1990s saw the rise of trance music, which was influenced by acid house and techno. Trance producers like Oliver Lieb and Paul van Dyk helped to spur the genre’s popularity worldwide.

The late 1990s and early 2000s saw the rise of digital audio workstations (DAWs) like Cubase and Ableton Live. These DAWs made it possible for anyone with a computer to create professional-sounding electronic dance music at home. This democratization of production led to the rise of countless subgenres, including EDM’s current dominant form: progressive house.

The Future of Electronic Dance Music

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, electronic dance music (EDM) was often associated with illegal rave parties. In the 2010s, however, the genre has become more mainstream, with festivals such as Tomorrowland and Creamfields attracting tens of thousands of people.

What does the future hold for EDM?

Some believe that EDM will continue to grow in popularity, with more people attending festivals and clubs around the world. Others think that the genre has already peaked and will start to decline in popularity.

only time will tell what the future holds for electronic dance music.
