Dance (EDM)

 

Electronic Dance Music (EDM), A style of popular music made using electronics and commonly played in dance music nightclubs, radio stations, shows and raves. It was with the rise of disco in the early 1970's that dance music once again became popular with the public. Disco was characterized by the use of real orchestral instruments, such as strings, which had largely been abandoned during the 1950s because of rock music.
