In the world of electronic music there is now such a thing as “style of fast electronic dance music.” This term has been around for a while, but it was only within the past couple of years that it started to really become recognized as a respectable style of electronic dance music. Now if you ask someone if they would like to have “style of fast electronic dance music,” more than likely they will respond with a curt “no.” Why is this? Is it because they think it is not cool?
The reality is that the term “style” is used to describe a basic set of rules that has guided dance music since the beginning of time. These rules have evolved over time and continue to do so. No matter what style of electronic dance music you are listening to there is some sort of dance technique involved. There are hip hop, ballad, country and everything else in between. If you really want to get into the subject matter, there are even books available that offer you step by step instructions on how to dance.
One of the things that people might not understand is that what is considered “style” really depends upon the type of music you are listening too. For instance, rock is about as “style” as you can get while rap, pop and hip hop are a bit harder to categorize. Another problem with making the “style” issue clear is that many people think that just because something is popular is true style. Just ask any hip hop fan and they will tell you that artists like Lil Kim and 50 cent are “fashionable” but not really “style.”
So where does this leave the aspiring electronic dance music producer? Well if you are determined to make your own mark on the world of dance music, you need to decide what kind of style you want to achieve. This is not an easy task to do but once you have made up your mind then you are half way there. Of course once you know what kind of style you want to achieve you will be in a better position to find out what kind of producers and mixers will be able to help you achieve your goal. In this article I will discuss three different styles of electronic dance music.
The first and most widely used style of dance music is techno. Some people confuse this style with house music because both of them have their moments of uniqueness but techno is much harder to classify. The most common features of techno are a faster tempo and a more “dancey” sound. You can tell that a song is techno if the beat is loud enough and the rhythm is fast.
House music on the other hand has its slower tempo and it is also a bit more danceable. The biggest difference between techno and house is that techno has a tendency to be more “format-oriented” and to have a specific kind of sound. The most popular sound of the house is a well-structured low-bounce tone. One of the biggest challenges for producers of techno music is to create sounds that are as unique as possible. By using special effects and tools, you can be able to make yourself come up with a distinctive sound.
Another very popular and long-lasting style of fast electronic dance music is hospital. In hospital music, the artists or the producer is not the most important element because the sound made by him is what makes the song unique. In this kind of music, the producer maintains the basic structure of the song and does not add too many synthesizer sounds. Also, you will rarely find artists that prefer to perform in a hospital setting. More often than not, they prefer to showcase their true talent by going to clubs and other places where they can perform with ease and in bigger groups.
Other styles of fast electronic dance music include pop and rock that relies more on a vocalist. Unlike in other styles, this style of electronic music usually incorporates a guitar and drums to produce the beat. This style is one of the most popular in the world because of the amazing beats that it contains. You can also see people going to clubs to perform this style. It’s pretty evident that there is a big demand for songs that have a heavy beat but don’t forget to showcase your unique talents to impress the crowd.
