LOUD Festival & Conference '21

Why Best Professionals Meet @ LOUD 2021 ?

Dance Music, EDM, DJ’s Rather than designating a single genre, electronic dance music (EDM) encompasses styles ranging from beatless ambient music to 200-beats-per-minute hardcore, with house music, techno, drum and bass, dubstep, and trance among the most notable examples.

Most important, the music is created specifically for the social function of dancing all night. A strong emphasis on rhythm is therefore common to most styles of EDM, while ambient music, which is less focused on maintaining a beat provides an aural cushion for settling down at the end of the night. Furthermore, EDM recordings are produced primarily to be played in dance clubs by disc jockeys (DJs), in a mix with other recordings of the same type, rather than by home listeners—though many tracks have crossed over to the pop audience.
