A lot of people consider music as an escape to reality. Every time we hear something upbeat, sentimental, or even instrumental can evoke a lot of emotions from different types of people.
Electronic dance music (sometimes referred to as EDM, or in the UK simply as dance music) is electronic music produced primarily for the purposes of use within a nightclub setting, or in an environment that is centered in dance-based entertainment.
The music is largely created for use by disc jockeys and is produced with the intention of it being heard in the context of a continuous DJ set; wherein the DJ progresses from one record to the next via a synchronized segue or “mix”.
In the 1980s, many genres of popular electronic music, including EDM, were constructed by means of electronic instruments such as synthesizers, drum machines and sequencers, and these genres generally emphasized the unique sounds of those instruments, even when mimicking traditional acoustic instrumentation.
Currently the music is now mostly made using software that contains sequencing, sampling, synthesizers, effects, and multitrack recording features.
The ability to produce and create has become much easier economically and physically since producers no longer need to buy large amounts of equipment.
It sometimes encompasses music not primarily meant for dancing, but derived from the dance-oriented styles.
Several EDM-centric American music festivals are held periodically, including the touring Electric Daisy Carnival the Ultra Music Festival in Florida (1999–present), and the Electric Forest Festival in Michigan (2008–present).
Other festivals, including Lollapalooza and Coachella have increased the number of EDM acts represented. Rawley Bornstein, an MTV music and talent programmer, described EDM as “the new rock and roll, as has Lollapalooza organizer Perry Ferrell. Ray Waddell, touring editor at Billboard magazine, noted that festival promoters have done an excellent job at branding.
