Dance/Electronic
EDM (Electronic Dance Music) is an electronic genre of music composed using synthesizers and other digital and analog equipment to compose tracks, often designed for dancing to. EDM tracks are created using Digital Audio Workstation software which enables users to assemble tracks by virtual synths using audio samples recorded from recordings; DJ’s use this tool extensively in their set to blend existing tracks together or compose entirely new ones.
EDM music is typically produced by DJs in studios – either home-based or professional recording facilities – and its genres can be divided up according to style of production, such as future bass, big room house, hybrid trap and dubstep (there are numerous others such as techno, hardstyle psytrance garage drum and bass).
EDM music has become immensely popular with young Americans due to its fast paced beats and distorted basslines that offer immediate emotional and physical release. EDM is designed for dancing, making DJs into celebrities; The Prodigy and Chemical Brothers are two examples who have gone beyond their roots in UK rave scene to become global stars.
Skrillex, an US based artist, has made waves with his signature style of modern dubstep music, which typically consists of distorted beats and low-end bass at around 120 BPM tempos.

Characterized by high-tempo tracks featuring both distorted kicks and catchy melodies, Hardstyle can be found with roots in gabber and old hardcore styles, as well as being heavily influenced by drum and bass music scene.
