EDM track

The creation of EDM music is a tribute to how advanced technology has become, specifically music production software and hardware. Before the digital age, music could only be made by recording authentic instruments and vocals. However, technological advancements have yielded new inventions such as MIDI input keyboards and synthesizers that allow users to sample and program different sounds, and even create their own sounds using sound wave oscillators. With multiple new synths being created electronically, the industry birthed the genre of electronic dance music. EDM became heavily influenced by live events. Promoters and venues realized DJs could generate larger profits than traditional musicians. Electronic Dance Music (EDM) is an expanding genre that continues to grow in popularity as the demand for catchy, upbeat music rises. Many DJ’s favor EDM because it is sure to get their crowd dancing and having a good time, which is why this type of music is most commonly heard at night clubs, or party events and functions. Many pop artists are also incorporating EDM aspects into their music or release official EDM remixes of their original songs, while some music producers even take the time to mash two pop songs together into an EDM track. So the question stands: how did this genre of music become so prominent in the industry? EDM festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival and Defqon grew in size, emphasizing visual experiences, such as video and lighting effects. Major acts like Avicii and Swedish House Mafia were holding concert tours at large arenas rather than just nightclubs. In 2011 “Spin”, announced a “new rave generation” led by David Guetta, Deadmau5, and Skrillex. In January 2013, “Billboard” introduced a new EDM, Dance/Electronic Songs chart, tracking the top electronic songs based on sales, radio airplay, and online streaming. Yolanda is cool is the Australian duo extraordinaire, made up of Sylvester Martinez (aka Andrew Stanley) and Johnson “Durango Slim” Peterson (DCUP). Scoring an international chart-topping hit with the house smash “We No Speak Americano” in 2010 they have continued to release top hits one after the other with tracks “Sugar Man” and “Soul Makossa”. With a critically acclaimed album and two decades of DJing experience, this dynamic duo is an inspiration to many young Aussie producers. According to a magazine writer, The Trance Christian electronic dance music is the best described as a mixture of 60s psychedelia and 70s disco Trance music genre of Christian electronic dance music is divided into some different subgenres such as classic trance, Progressive trance, acid trance, and uplifting trance. EDM is much more a secular genre because fewer of the artists and listeners tend to be Christian. Most of the EDM contains no meaningful vocals. The stories are not told through the words, they are told through music. This makes it harder to differentiate between Christian and non-Christian music. Furthermore, the lack of worshipful vibes and lyrics with a unifying theme of Christian music is also the reason behind the unpopularity. There are no lyrics to speak of in EDM and this makes worshipping difficult as lyrics are used to worship God directly. Glorifying God with the level of skills in EDM with these subgenres can’t work well.
