@@optiquemusic6204 thanks for the comprehensive list. I think it shows there definitely needs to be more 90s examples, especially as that's the peak period for new dance genres evolving (though mainly in Europe). I also have a "WTF?" moment when I heard the Röyksopp clip in the late 80s. Unless it uses some obscure sample of an 80s song, I don't know what it's doing there.
Yeah, and it is also doesn't define what it does mean if not that. I've always seen it as an umbrella term invented by the Yanks because they've already given "disco" & "rave" a bad name, and think "dance music" means upbeat Britney Spears records.
@@TheKandiHouse It shows!! I will say that as some feedback, the ending is very abrupt, some kind of outro/summary would do it well But yeah it was a great watch!! :)
I’m doing independent videos on how every current DJ has transformed music since 2010. It will cover the last decade and a half more in depth this way.
I didn't find it too in-depth. There were some major influences and sub-cultures that were instrumental in the early days of house music the catapulted dance culture into the mainstream that were completely left out.
electro house (specifically complextro) is my absolute fav genre of all time, it has every aspect of sound in it you can put, its very complex making it not repetitive and have many sounds for people to create and experiment with, its truly insane how far electronic music has come :3
This video is wrong in many aspects, especially in Krautrock and the band Kraftwerk, which were just a German Progressive Rock group in Düsseldorf produced by the rocker Conny Plank, Krautrock is not an aspect or direct line of Classical Electronic Music, EDM if it is forged directly from Classical Electronic Music. "Kraftwerk the pioneers of Electronic Music at the beginning of the 70's? Hip Hop influenced by Kraftwerk? what! 🤦...Electronic Music dates its most relevant stylistic and technological origin from the late 20's and by the end of the 60's it was already ending its second wave where the 4 pillar lines of Classical Electronic Music are forged: E. Post Concreta, E. Moog, E. Experimental and E. Soundtrack / Ambient, Sci-Fi, Cosmic (second wave of father and pioneer producers and developers: Dissevelt, Scott, Baby & Louis, Kingsley, Derbishyre, Garson, Hodgson, Prilly, Lasry, Riley, Hyman, Blake, Cecil, Carlos...)

Ryuichi Sakamoto in 1980 forged the Electro under his productions associated with YMO (Lógic System) in the pioneering use of the TR-808. Kraftwerk replicates, copies and adopts Moroder, Jarre, YMO, Lacksman, Tangerine Dreams, Schulze, Vangelis (among others) throughout much of the 70's and early 80's.
This was actually very comprehensive, well produced, well reaearched, and just plain interesting. You should make more videos. Reach out if you need help marketing them.
i went to Coachella in 2010, and coming from the UK it was so confusing seeing everyone jumping up and down to Deadmouse like they were at a rock concert. It’s dance music guys, you’re meant to dance to it.
Not a bad history at all, I'm impressed considering how much you squeezed into 14 minutes. I think it's definitely worth mentioning that things are coming full-circle in how much a big increase in interest in old-school deep house and nu disco there is today, to get away from the more-commercialized EDM. Oh, and kudos on mentioning Donna Summer's "I Feel Love", as I'm totally convinced that song is still one of the biggest mile stones for the genre. You can't have a history of club music without that one being a feature, that's for sure.
Also glad that skrillex deadmau5 etc made edm and rave music popular in the us. its really messed up how the rave scene couldnt even thrive there through the 90s and early to mid 2000s
@@zerorootx yeah I know, but pretty sure not all of them are like this. DVBBS "made" tsunami which was actually made by ksmhr, there are video around that show that Alan walker doesn't even know what a sawtooth wave and same goes for Tiësto, but these are some cases, probably many, but that's not the same for every artist
@darioparisi6863 never said all of them. But I'm sure of 90% of the "top" djs are fakes and have teams that do most if the heavywork for them. It's been like this forever. The front man ALWAYS gets the recognition. Watch the music video from Blues Traveler - run around. That's the EDM scene.
I'm from the UK so that's a crazy take to me. Went to an event recently and they all played live and most produce as well. Skrillex is massive and makes his own stuff so maybe you're bitter idk? Either way I hope you find your love for the genre
Seeing Daft Punk and Justice in this video feels like a validation of my taste in music haha. I will say tho, I feel like the internet's influence on EDM should've been elaborated on some more, I was surprised to see neither Porter Robinson nor Madeon in this video.
Great little Video. I recommend the book ‘Last Night a DJ Saved My Life’ that is detailed to a comprehensive level. Also to add to this I just finished a studying a degree that covered aspects further still that that book missed. A whole period before the Kraftwerk section that paved the foundation but all in all great job 😃
Well, there's a lot more to EDMs ENTIRE history. It certainly didn't just start with the Beatles or Kraftwerk. People like Karlheinz Stockhausen, Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry had a great influence on developing the first oscillators, using recorded sound in music and other things. It is true that it it started being popularised and used in a more "musical" sense by the Beatles, and other rockers started using the Moog (even earlier reverb, delay and other effects in the psychedelic era). Yet I think it's important to mention the developers of those tools and techniques too.
This was a pretty comprehensive coverage of the scene for the runtime, but I think 'in the US' might be an appropriate addition to the title. It was good to see the mention of Kraftwerk and the nods to genres emerging in Europe in the second half of the decade, but it does have that US slant of it becoming most popular in the 2010s. I think most Europeans would agree that the peak dance music period is the late 80s to early 2000s, when most of the genres emerged. The 2010s period is essentially a rebranding as "EDM" for the US market, which needed established pop stars singing on dance tracks before they took it seriously. For the fusion of rock/punk with dance, I would have expected to see the likes of the Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Apollo 440 & the Chemical Brothers mentioned (breakbeat rave / big beat). Trip hop and ambient are worth a mention for showing the non-rave side to the genre. Eurodance didn't get mentioned, yet that was by far the most commercial side of dance music over here, with multi-million selling records from the likes of 2 Unlimited and Snap!. Yeah, I guess it just needs more from the 90s, where dance music peaked over here, but was largely ignored in favour of grunge & hip hop in the US.
Alright here’s the break down if edm in a nutshell EDM start or originated in Europe (obviously) techno started in America/detroit house started either America or Europe or both I guess… then the real EDM scene took place in Europe in 1990s with hardstyle, happy hardcore, trance, Freeform, French core?, breakcore (: and I guess dubstep and dnb. Personally I don’t consider the last edm but that’s my opinion
00:42 American roots 01:31 70's, Hip-Hop Influence 02:44 East Coast 70's, Birth of Disco 05:51 80's, Post-Disco Era [Birth of Electro, House, and Techno] 9:23 90's, The turning point (mostly Europe) [Birth of Trance and Jungle & Growth of House and Techno] 11:12 2000's, U.S. Rave Act & Europe's momentum 13:35 2010-Present, What next? (& Conclusion)
The history of EDM actually goes back even further to a genre called Musique concrète which experimented with pre recorded sounds. If you don’t count that then I would consider the 60s as the starting point due to the minimalist music movements experiments with electronic sounds or 1957 with the invention of the first synthesizer. Additionally you missed a major genre that emerged from Germany and the Netherlands in the early 90s, Gabber/ Hardcore Techno. Some of the biggest raves/festivals in Europe today, like Thunderdome, are focused on this style of music and its sub-genres.
Solid video. Are you familiar with Yellow Magic Orchestra? Super important band, especially regarding the 808. Surprised not to see them mentioned alongside Kraftwerk.
9:36 completely wrong what you say in the Netherlands trance was not that popular but GabberHouse or the Other name Hardcore (not UK Hardcore). In Germany they called it Hardcore Techno. What originated in 1989 and was further developed over the years into the hardest House sound and biggest indoor rave parties. This music genre existed before trance existed. The images you show are also Gabbers, Gabbers are people who listen to Gabberhouse/Hardcore and had a special clothing style en dance (Hakkuhh).
It's a good thing you added the "i guess" in the title because a whole lot of this is guess work. Your timeline is all over the place, you got a lot of the dates wrong, you used incorrect footage when describing events/genres, and you left out so many actual pioneers. I hope nobody takes this video seriously because as a recap of history it's lazily researched. Great editing though.
Kinda surprised the underground gay Chicago didn’t really even get mentioned. They basically made the house scene and those guys who played in that scene were the same to introduce it to Europe. Frankie and all the old heads always expressed this is what really made what the scene is today. Without it we wouldn’t have edm and most genres due to its influence. House wasn’t a genre. It was THE genre. You were mocked and looked at as gay for listening to disco so who else to keep listening to it but outcasts and gays. Also skrillex didn’t play dubstep to introduce it to the us. There was already a big audience for it here. Plus he didn’t bring back that genre. dub and dubstep are like house and techno. They are very different genres. Other than that this is a great solid and quick run through.
American have no idea of the Electronic Music culture. They just believe they know better than the rest of the world because they are the world. If you haven’t watch the documentary « The Sound Of Belgium », then for sure you’re missing the point. Not mentioning the R&S label, even not Bonzai label, just show how deep your don’t have any idea of the story. One more question: why do you think that all the DJ’s coming from all over the world went to the Boccaccio club in Belgium in 1986 et 1987? First Acid sound was created by the Dutch company Phillips, on a demo track in 1958 (Available on YT).
@@cyclotronbxl you realized the Chicago scene pre dates both of what you mentioned right. Its technical start was in like 75. But most done consider it being as big outside of the smaller clubs and it coming together to be what we know as house until the 80’s. It was just a bunch of guys making better disco tracks largely in gay clubs. I listen to bonsai records currently and they didn’t start until the start of the 90’s. I’ll check what you are saying but I’ve never heard anyone contest the massive importance of the early us scene creating modern house
@@Idontknowwhat2type Never mind, maybe I was a little bit aggressive, sorry for bothering you. I shouldn’t comment with you. I forgot that every time I prove that what everybody call House Music today have nothing to do with Chicago, people always delete my comment. So I will not lose my time anymore. If you want to know the truth you will find it, if you don’t want it, it’s your right too. Peace and enjoy the music
@@cyclotronbxl fair enough. I would just really suggest you look up some house music docs and look up the label that got the sound to Belgium and the rest of the world. (It was an American label)
@@Idontknowwhat2type Actually the Sound of Belgium is unique and started late 70’s. We have our own Electronic Music which the whole world get inspired from. I’ve watched the documentary “Pump Up The Volume” which is the best one talking about the Chicago scene. The thing is: there’s the story that people talk about, and there’s the tracks comparison of the same year in both Chicago, Detroit and Belgium. And then you realise who did what. Also, please watch the documentary “The Sound Of Belgium”, you will understand a lot of history facts. Belgium didn’t invented Electronic Dance Music, but it all started to be famous here. The whole world came here to see what was happening, even the American Electronic Music scene. Want an example? Check this track and try to find anything like that in the US the same year: Snowy Red - Euroshima released in 1982 You wasn’t impressed by Bonzai record, which is very strange, because you will never find any equivalent of those track at the same time in the world. You can also find a documentary on Bonzai Records label. The confusion of EDM originated in the US, come from the name of House Music which was used for the Chicago original tracks, and mixed with the Belgium scene which have is own history like Chicago and Detroit have. And by the way, I love the Chicago House scene since the beginning.
Holy shit dude! You really know your sub genres. What about these: Liquid house, dream house, melodic house, faith house, economic house, depressive house, speed house, construction house, blended house, style house, avant garde house, click house, medium house, imagination house, double dipped house, generational house, crack house, nature house, how's your house... I could go on.
Great video as far as general history and origins of different sounds! I will say tho that personally as someone who listens to edm genres that were skipped over that there are quite a few gaps here. Not mentioning chemical brothers (or even prodigy but for some reason Chem Bros don't get any respect they deserve) in1989 redefining and inventing what would go on to be modern versatile electronic music and influencing everyone in turn is pretty wild, daft punks first ever track is a remix of chemical brothers. Someone else also mentioned skipping deadmau5 which was huge for introducing a lot of people to electro house and a gateway between a lot of genres even leading into the discovery of skrillex and that 2010-2012 dubstep era. The biggest thing missing tho is pretty much every genre that is ruling the circuit in the last 5-10 years, for better or worse and that's what annoys me about the blanket term "edm". This video ends with the mainstream ultra mainstage genre that for a lot of people overshadows all of edm and thus creates a lot of blind overall hate and undistinguished all edm as the same, which makes people refuse to search for what is out there beyond it. I personally prefer more underground psychedelic bass/glitch hop and instrumental hip hop/future funk which are both genres that have existed in the background and are just now getting popularity. Pretty Lights and Tipper have both been around for decades and responsible for creating their respective genres/sounds. Even Bassnectar before getting canceled is just as responsible for the rise of bass music as Skrillex, he was around since the 90s and pioneered a lot of new sounds and styles of bass music for about 15 years b4 his eventual domination of the festival scene, headlining major festivals over some of the largest bands and rappers at the time. Excision deserves a mention too although I never did personally enjoy his music he went on to inspire that aggressive sound that would in turn become synonymous with most modern dubstep and even riddim which i do loathe the majority of but that's what the kids like these days and it will go down in edm history.
... as an european, I miss Eurobeat from the late 80's to the 90's, and a mention to David Guetta sending back American techno and house to their origins... but ok, it's clear A)) was born in USA, but when you despise it, Europe make it greather and sended back to explode in america when it was already mainstream in my continent... and B)) the industry of the music majors were scared to loose their business whit rock and pop music solo and bands, doing concerts and selling vinyls and CD, than when DJ's appear to switch into big disco and open air festivals been the DJ's the MASTERS of the music business... until now EDM changed all and it' so important like charleston was in the 20's or rockandroll in the 50's... EDM the king now and for ever...
This video was mainly to discuss how dance music gained its notoriety. There haven’t been any major advancements since the early 2000’s. Just new sub genres and artists.
@@TheKandiHouse well I mean I think it’s noteworthy to see the trend shifts in EDM from House to Future bass(at least in the U.S). from europes biggest dj’s playing all over the United States to them not really being as prevalent anymore and artists like marshmello really take over in popularity in the mid to late 2010 era. I think dzeko from dzeko and Torres broke it down in a Reddit comment somewhere lol
@@TheKandiHouse hell yea!! I’m hyped for that. I’m biased because I started getting into EDM around 2008-2009 so even from then I’ve seen a massive change in the types of EDM being produced
great video, just wish you were able to play more of the tracks you referenced so we could really get a feel for the sound of the time. images alone just dont do it justice. i know how youtube works tho :/
This is mostly a history of anglo-british edm with a strong focus on hip-hop-influenced styles. In your video you ignore - a decade of italo pop which was the foundation of - three decades of german techno, euro and similar as well as - three decades of netherlandish and belgian gabber, techno and similar as well as - three decades of spanish dance music. To state that you can't include single artists shows how little you know about electronic dance music.

DVBBS "made" tsunami which was actually made by ksmhr, there are video around that show that Alan walker doesn't even know what a sawtooth wave and same goes for Tiësto, but these are some cases, probably many, but that's not the same for every artist
@darioparisi6863 never said all of them. But I'm sure of 90% of the "top" djs are fakes and have teams that do most if the heavywork for them. It's been like this forever. The front man ALWAYS gets the recognition. Watch the music video from Blues Traveler - run around. That's the EDM scene.
I'm from the UK so that's a crazy take to me. Went to an event recently and they all played live and most produce as well. Skrillex is massive and makes his own stuff so maybe you're bitter idk? Either way I hope you find your love for the genre
this deserves way more views!
Thanks for watching!
Seeing Daft Punk and Justice in this video feels like a validation of my taste in music haha. I will say tho, I feel like the internet's influence on EDM should've been elaborated on some more, I was surprised to see neither Porter Robinson nor Madeon in this video.
my step dad was there at the "disco sucks" white sox game, he was like 6 years old lol
Great little Video. I recommend the book ‘Last Night a DJ Saved My Life’ that is detailed to a comprehensive level. Also to add to this I just finished a studying a degree that covered aspects further still that that book missed. A whole period before the Kraftwerk section that paved the foundation but all in all great job 😃
0:14 Craftwork killed me
man you COOKED WITH THIS. glad this is starting to get shown again. this is unbelievably underrated
Thanks for watching!
Well, there's a lot more to EDMs ENTIRE history. It certainly didn't just start with the Beatles or Kraftwerk. People like Karlheinz Stockhausen, Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry had a great influence on developing the first oscillators, using recorded sound in music and other things. It is true that it it started being popularised and used in a more "musical" sense by the Beatles, and other rockers started using the Moog (even earlier reverb, delay and other effects in the psychedelic era). Yet I think it's important to mention the developers of those tools and techniques too.
This is a great video
Thanks for watching!
Hope you make more vids, this was incredibly well done
Thanks for watching!
thank you for this video, thanks a lot!, searching for Rave Info is hard some times
nice straight to the point video!
Thanks for watching!
first , what a confused mixture ,
second , no one credit derrick may as the " pioneer " of techno not even him , the " pioneer" is juan atkins ...
Almost everyone credited Derrick May as the pioneer. Most people consider Atkins the godfather. He, May and Sanderson all worked together regardless.
This was a pretty comprehensive coverage of the scene for the runtime, but I think 'in the US' might be an appropriate addition to the title. It was good to see the mention of Kraftwerk and the nods to genres emerging in Europe in the second half of the decade, but it does have that US slant of it becoming most popular in the 2010s. I think most Europeans would agree that the peak dance music period is the late 80s to early 2000s, when most of the genres emerged. The 2010s period is essentially a rebranding as "EDM" for the US market, which needed established pop stars singing on dance tracks before they took it seriously.
For the fusion of rock/punk with dance, I would have expected to see the likes of the Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Apollo 440 & the Chemical Brothers mentioned (breakbeat rave / big beat). Trip hop and ambient are worth a mention for showing the non-rave side to the genre. Eurodance didn't get mentioned, yet that was by far the most commercial side of dance music over here, with multi-million selling records from the likes of 2 Unlimited and Snap!. Yeah, I guess it just needs more from the 90s, where dance music peaked over here, but was largely ignored in favour of grunge & hip hop in the US.
Alright here’s the break down if edm in a nutshell EDM start or originated in Europe (obviously) techno started in America/detroit house started either America or Europe or both I guess… then the real EDM scene took place in Europe in 1990s with hardstyle, happy hardcore, trance, Freeform, French core?, breakcore (: and I guess dubstep and dnb. Personally I don’t consider the last edm but that’s my opinion
Also HARDCORE techno originate from Europe and it’s NOT techno in any way

Thanks for watching!
The history of EDM actually goes back even further to a genre called Musique concrète which experimented with pre recorded sounds. If you don’t count that then I would consider the 60s as the starting point due to the minimalist music movements experiments with electronic sounds or 1957 with the invention of the first synthesizer. Additionally you missed a major genre that emerged from Germany and the Netherlands in the early 90s, Gabber/ Hardcore Techno. Some of the biggest raves/festivals in Europe today, like Thunderdome, are focused on this style of music and its sub-genres.
my guy even uses footage from thunderdome and then labels it as trance....
Also omitted Belgian New Beat sadly, absolutely pivotal in the development of a huge amount of European dance music during the late 80's.
2:29 chick???? don’t do their name dirty like that😭😭
Bro keep making more videos! I swear you will blow up
Thanks for watching! I have a bunch of videos in the works.
Waiting to see if ill ever be in these videos about 2025 when edm became about performing live
7:20 dammmmn, this song is from the early 80s ?!?, it really sounds like the 2010s house tracks
I was visiting Vegas in 2011 when I first heard the term edm in retrospect it was smart rebrand move
Solid video. Are you familiar with Yellow Magic Orchestra? Super important band, especially regarding the 808. Surprised not to see them mentioned alongside Kraftwerk.
If anyone wants to read a great book covering this same history, read 'Last Night a DJ Saved My Life'
Hell yeah, I love synths
I own 3 aka one of them is name the moog grandmother ngl no cap
AYO WHERE IS HARDCORE MUSIC???
and dub too. without either them there's no jungle, dubstep, drum and bass and to a lesser extent uk garage
i know, 9:31 is a thunderdome clip😊
Whats the song playing at 9:41?
9:36 completely wrong what you say in the Netherlands trance was not that popular but GabberHouse or the Other name Hardcore (not UK Hardcore). In Germany they called it Hardcore Techno. What originated in 1989 and was further developed over the years into the hardest House sound and biggest indoor rave parties.
This music genre existed before trance existed.
The images you show are also Gabbers, Gabbers are people who listen to Gabberhouse/Hardcore and had a special clothing style en dance (Hakkuhh).
It's a good thing you added the "i guess" in the title because a whole lot of this is guess work. Your timeline is all over the place, you got a lot of the dates wrong, you used incorrect footage when describing events/genres, and you left out so many actual pioneers. I hope nobody takes this video seriously because as a recap of history it's lazily researched. Great editing though.
You’re very wrong
Where’s Happyhardcore/UKHardcore? That’s a solid part of UK dance music history since the 90’s
Ok. 🤷♂️
yea!
ohh god no, it’s dreadful. leave it in the fairgrounds and provincial nightclubs.

@@eddiel7635 each to their own bro 🤣, I produce it
What about castlemorton rave??
Kinda surprised the underground gay Chicago didn’t really even get mentioned. They basically made the house scene and those guys who played in that scene were the same to introduce it to Europe. Frankie and all the old heads always expressed this is what really made what the scene is today. Without it we wouldn’t have edm and most genres due to its influence. House wasn’t a genre. It was THE genre.
You were mocked and looked at as gay for listening to disco so who else to keep listening to it but outcasts and gays.
Also skrillex didn’t play dubstep to introduce it to the us. There was already a big audience for it here.
Plus he didn’t bring back that genre.
dub and dubstep are like house and techno. They are very different genres.
Other than that this is a great solid and quick run through.
American have no idea of the Electronic Music culture. They just believe they know better than the rest of the world because they are the world.
If you haven’t watch the documentary « The Sound Of Belgium », then for sure you’re missing the point.
Not mentioning the R&S label, even not Bonzai label, just show how deep your don’t have any idea of the story.
One more question: why do you think that all the DJ’s coming from all over the world went to the Boccaccio club in Belgium in 1986 et 1987?
First Acid sound was created by the Dutch company Phillips, on a demo track in 1958 (Available on YT).
@@cyclotronbxl you realized the Chicago scene pre dates both of what you mentioned right.
Its technical start was in like 75. But most done consider it being as big outside of the smaller clubs and it coming together to be what we know as house until the 80’s. It was just a bunch of guys making better disco tracks largely in gay clubs.
I listen to bonsai records currently and they didn’t start until the start of the 90’s.
I’ll check what you are saying but I’ve never heard anyone contest the massive importance of the early us scene creating modern house
@@Idontknowwhat2type Never mind, maybe I was a little bit aggressive, sorry for bothering you. I shouldn’t comment with you. I forgot that every time I prove that what everybody call House Music today have nothing to do with Chicago, people always delete my comment. So I will not lose my time anymore.
If you want to know the truth you will find it, if you don’t want it, it’s your right too.
Peace and enjoy the music
@@cyclotronbxl fair enough. I would just really suggest you look up some house music docs and look up the label that got the sound to Belgium and the rest of the world. (It was an American label)
@@Idontknowwhat2type Actually the Sound of Belgium is unique and started late 70’s. We have our own Electronic Music which the whole world get inspired from.
I’ve watched the documentary “Pump Up The Volume” which is the best one talking about the Chicago scene.
The thing is: there’s the story that people talk about, and there’s the tracks comparison of the same year in both Chicago, Detroit and Belgium. And then you realise who did what.
Also, please watch the documentary “The Sound Of Belgium”, you will understand a lot of history facts. Belgium didn’t invented Electronic Dance Music, but it all started to be famous here.
The whole world came here to see what was happening, even the American Electronic Music scene.
Want an example? Check this track and try to find anything like that in the US the same year: Snowy Red - Euroshima released in 1982
You wasn’t impressed by Bonzai record, which is very strange, because you will never find any equivalent of those track at the same time in the world.
You can also find a documentary on Bonzai Records label.
The confusion of EDM originated in the US, come from the name of House Music which was used for the Chicago original tracks, and mixed with the Belgium scene which have is own history like Chicago and Detroit have.
And by the way, I love the Chicago House scene since the beginning.
You forgot Popcorn by Gershon Kingsley in 1969 .
Thank you AI for suggesting this video ;)
How could Equinoxe Part IV by Jean Michel Jarre be so overlooked with its early African House rhythm and notable ARP 2600?
I can’t include every artist that everyone likes…
@ Of course not, but this was groundbreaking. Not just “every artist”.
A lot of main sub genres are left out such as progressive house, big room house. Although pretty good doc
Holy shit dude! You really know your sub genres.
What about these:
Liquid house, dream house, melodic house, faith house, economic house, depressive house, speed house, construction house, blended house, style house, avant garde house, click house, medium house, imagination house, double dipped house, generational house, crack house, nature house, how's your house...
I could go on.
this needs more veiws
Fingers crossed 🤞

This is great! One of the best histories of EDM I’ve seen. Would love to see you do a deep dive on any/all of these genres.
EDM is all you need to know. NOBODY EVER CALLED IT EDM UNTIL IT WAS MASS PRODUCE.
This guy obviously missed out
Maybe you didn’t watch the whole video…
Can we have a track list in the desc please? Because even Shazam isn't managing to pick up the music with your voiceover over it
What an excellent video, congrats!

techno started in dusseldorf with Kraftwerk...
Good content man
Thanks, man!
Awesome video
Thanks for watching!
Great video as far as general history and origins of different sounds! I will say tho that personally as someone who listens to edm genres that were skipped over that there are quite a few gaps here. Not mentioning chemical brothers (or even prodigy but for some reason Chem Bros don't get any respect they deserve) in1989 redefining and inventing what would go on to be modern versatile electronic music and influencing everyone in turn is pretty wild, daft punks first ever track is a remix of chemical brothers. Someone else also mentioned skipping deadmau5 which was huge for introducing a lot of people to electro house and a gateway between a lot of genres even leading into the discovery of skrillex and that 2010-2012 dubstep era. The biggest thing missing tho is pretty much every genre that is ruling the circuit in the last 5-10 years, for better or worse and that's what annoys me about the blanket term "edm". This video ends with the mainstream ultra mainstage genre that for a lot of people overshadows all of edm and thus creates a lot of blind overall hate and undistinguished all edm as the same, which makes people refuse to search for what is out there beyond it. I personally prefer more underground psychedelic bass/glitch hop and instrumental hip hop/future funk which are both genres that have existed in the background and are just now getting popularity. Pretty Lights and Tipper have both been around for decades and responsible for creating their respective genres/sounds. Even Bassnectar before getting canceled is just as responsible for the rise of bass music as Skrillex, he was around since the 90s and pioneered a lot of new sounds and styles of bass music for about 15 years b4 his eventual domination of the festival scene, headlining major festivals over some of the largest bands and rappers at the time. Excision deserves a mention too although I never did personally enjoy his music he went on to inspire that aggressive sound that would in turn become synonymous with most modern dubstep and even riddim which i do loathe the majority of but that's what the kids like these days and it will go down in edm history.
7:17 track?

I thought drum machines were common for songs by 1971 or 72. Sorry if you don't like what I think
You’re correct, which is why I said one of the first. He popularized it.
@@TheKandiHouse Yeah, I see
This leaves out so much,it should get taken down!
Relax
... as an european, I miss Eurobeat from the late 80's to the 90's, and a mention to David Guetta sending back American techno and house to their origins... but ok, it's clear A)) was born in USA, but when you despise it, Europe make it greather and sended back to explode in america when it was already mainstream in my continent... and B)) the industry of the music majors were scared to loose their business whit rock and pop music solo and bands, doing concerts and selling vinyls and CD, than when DJ's appear to switch into big disco and open air festivals been the DJ's the MASTERS of the music business... until now EDM changed all and it' so important like charleston was in the 20's or rockandroll in the 50's... EDM the king now and for ever...
We’re still missing from like 2007-2023 😂
This video was mainly to discuss how dance music gained its notoriety. There haven’t been any major advancements since the early 2000’s. Just new sub genres and artists.
@@TheKandiHouse well I mean I think it’s noteworthy to see the trend shifts in EDM from House to Future bass(at least in the U.S). from europes biggest dj’s playing all over the United States to them not really being as prevalent anymore and artists like marshmello really take over in popularity in the mid to late 2010 era. I think dzeko from dzeko and Torres broke it down in a Reddit comment somewhere lol
I agree! And I will be covering all of that, just in a separate video.
@@TheKandiHouse hell yea!! I’m hyped for that. I’m biased because I started getting into EDM around 2008-2009 so even from then I’ve seen a massive change in the types of EDM being produced
Couldn’t agree more! As soon as the video is up you’ll be the first to know!
I think Biden would go to a rave now

NO DEADMAU5????? I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN DEADMAU5 ISN'T MENTIONED.

Thanks for understanding, I wish I could.
Marshmello doesn't deserve to be in your thumbnail

In a video under 15 minutes, it's inevitable to miss a bunch of genres
In the trash next to electro swing where it belongs ♥️
@@stingray1irwin0 some1 is upset 💔💔
This is mostly a history of anglo-british edm with a strong focus on hip-hop-influenced styles. In your video you ignore
- a decade of italo pop
which was the foundation of
- three decades of german techno, euro and similar
as well as
- three decades of netherlandish and belgian gabber, techno and similar
as well as
- three decades of spanish dance music.
To state that you can't include single artists shows how little you know about electronic dance music.
I can’t include every artist that everyone likes…
Where did deadmau5 or Aphex Twin go?
