The emergence of EDM
The roots of EDM go back to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when electronic music production technologies such as synthesizers and drum machines emerged. Electronic music pioneers such as Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder and Jean-Michel Jarre laid the foundation for the genre.
In the 1990s, EDM took off, especially in Europe, with the emergence of techno, house, and trance. These genres shaped electronic dance music and formed the basis for today's variety of EDM styles.
EDM characteristics
EDM is characterized by its distinctive features that make it a unique and exciting genre of music. The music is often dominated by electronic beats and basslines that pull the listener into an infectious rhythm.
EDM also incorporates a variety of sound effects, synthesizer melodies and percussive elements that fill the songs with energy and dynamics.
Another important feature of EDM is the use of drops, the parts in the song where the music comes to a climax and creates an intense euphoria that encourages the audience to dance.
