It is no question that music has changed over the years. It is also no question that it will continue to change. There are several factors that may play a role in these changes, but one of the main reasons for this is new technology. New technology has changed the way music sounds and the way we listen to it.
From Disco to House Music: The Evolution of Electronic Dance Music
Electronic Dance Music (EDM) is music that is constructed by using electronic musical instruments or computer software, mainly produced for use in a live performance or DJ set. Examples of electronic dance music include Disco, House Music, Trance Music, Techno, and Garage Music. The genre can be traced back as far as the early 1900s when there were experiments with electricity and sound recording. In the middle of the 1960s there were musicians who used synthesizers and other electronic equipment to produce danceable music. However, it wasnt until the mid 1970s when disco came along that made EDM more popular. By the late 1970s, disco had become an influential musical style in many parts of Europe. Together with disco came a wave of new technology and equipment such as sequencers and drum machines which brought more versatility to DJs and producers.
Music has always been a big part of my life and still is. When I was a child, I used to listen to the radio stations. My favorite radio station was Radio 10 Gold. There I heard the best music of that time.
When I grew up, my taste in music changed. Disco was my thing then, and I really liked it because it made me dance and forget about everything else. I listened to that kind of music everywhere; at home, at parties and even when I went shopping with my mom or friends. It is true that music can put you in a good mood instantly!
Nowadays, there are many styles out there: pop, rock, reggae, techno and house music. Today’s article will be about house music, its history and evolution from disco to nowadays.
House music is produced by DJs from Chicago who mixed different styles like disco with electronic instruments; this new style was born around 1985. However, it was not until 1987 when House spread all over the country when Vince Lawrence released “On And On.” The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1988.
In 1988 several songs were released like “Jack your body” by Steve Silk Hurley or “Pump up the Volume
Without a doubt, electronic dance music or EDM, is one of the most popular music genres nowadays. From house to trance, this type of music has become a worldwide phenomenon. But how did it all start? To answer this question, we will have a look at the history of this genre.
Disco
The first step that led to the creation of modern-day dance music was disco. Its origins date back to the late 60s and early 70s, during the rise of funk and soul music. However, it wasn’t until the mid-70s that disco settled as a genre. One of the most popular songs in this style was I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor, which was released in 1978.
The popularity of disco didn’t only influence the genre itself but also several other styles, such as pop and hip hop. Additionally, disco brought us one of the most important pieces of equipment used today: DJ turntables.
House Music
In 1984, house music was born in Chicago thanks to Frankie Knuckles, DJ Pierre and Jesse Saunders who created some of the first songs from this genre. House was an evolution from disco since it took elements from several other styles such as funk and electronic. This musical style got its
Disco music was a genre that developed at the beginning of the 1970s from funk and soul music. The name disco comes from discothèque, which is what clubs were called where this kind of dance music was played.
In the beginning, disco music was dance music for black gay people, but it became popular among white people in the 1970s.
Disco music was simple. It consisted of a bass line and drums with lots of electronic instruments, strings and horns on top. At that time, musicians used a new instrument: the synthesizer (for example Moog). The songs were mainly about dancing and having fun. Famous singers included Donna Summer and Gloria Gaynor.
Electronic music is simply a form of music that is produced by playing on musical instruments or singing with the help of an electronic device. Some of the best electronic dance music comes from artists such as Daft Punk, Skrillex, Swedish House Mafia, and Avicii. All of these groups have made an impact in the world of electronic dance music.
Disco was the first popular form of Electronic Dance Music. It emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a popular form of disco music. At this time, there were several nightclubs that played disco music, but they were only open to a select few people. This led to the creation of dance clubs where people could go to listen to disco music and dance in a more comfortable environment.
Disco did not last long as a popular form of Electronic Dance Music because it is not very versatile. As technology improved, other forms of Electronic Dance Music began to emerge such as House, Techno, Trance, and Dance-Pop. Most Electronic Dance Music today falls under one or more of these categories.
Electronic dance music (EDM), also known as dance music, club music, or simply dance, is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres made largely for nightclubs, raves and festivals. EDM is generally produced for playback by disc jockeys who create seamless selections of tracks, called a mix by segueing from one recording to another. EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting in what is sometimes called a live PA. In Europe, EDM is more commonly called ‘dance music’, or simply ‘dance’.
In the United States, EDM has been more commonly called ‘club music’ and ‘dance music’, and from approximately 2010 onwards the term ‘electronic dance music’ and the initialism ‘EDM’ was being used. In the UK, ‘dance music’ or ‘dance’ are more common terms for EDM, but the term ‘electronic dance music’ is also used to describe the genre.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, following the emergence of raving, pirate radio, and an upsurge of interest in club culture, EDM achieved widespread mainstream popularity in Europe. In Germany a number of influential electronic acts emerged
On the first day of class, my professor said something I’ve never forgotten. He said there’s a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path. It might be one of the most important things I’ve ever learned, because it applies to everything. If you’re learning to play guitar, you can know how to play a song, but you don’t really know how to play that song until you’re playing it without thinking about it. If you’re writing a poem, you can know what images and word choice are best for a given theme, but you don’t really know those things until they just flow out onto the page. So if there’s one thing that I think is important for people to understand about learning it’s this: the knowledge isn’t in just knowing the information; it’s in using that information and making it your own.
If there’s one way that this applies more than any other way, it’s in dance music production. There are so many different ways to make each part of a given song, and when you’re starting out as a producer, it’s easy to get lost in all of them. You can find yourself spending hours working on a single kick drum sound or trying out different compression techniques on your snare drum track.
