Electronic dance music (also known as EDM, dance music, club music, or simply dance) is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres produced largely for nightclubs, raves, and festivals. Created for playback by disc jockeys(DJ's), EDM is used in the context of a live mix, where a DJ creates a seamless selection of tracks by continuously playing from one recording to the next.
By the early 2010's the term "Electronic Dance Music" played quite a role in changing the US rave culture. In the UK, "dance music" or "dance" are commonly referred with EDM. In this context, EDM does not apply to a particular genre but serves as an umbrella term for several commercially popular genres, including techno, house, trance, drum and bass, dubstep, trap, deep house and various others.Today EDM has brought a revolutionary change in the field of music and has become one of the most heard music across the globe.
Armin Van Buuren's definition of EDM-"It is something that gets's inside your body, is then tough for a person to take out." Right said Armin!!
