When you hear slow electronic dance music, it may have the same effect on you like when you hear techno music. It may make you think there is no other style of music like it, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The similarities between the two styles of music are just that they are both electronic and they come from the same place: the Internet.
Slow electronic music is often characterized by an absent beat, breaks in the tempo, or perhaps the music fades out and in at different rates. Slow dance artists are often able to create their very own unique sound with instruments like samplers and digitally effected keyboards. A lot of times people seem to think that slow electronic dance music is boring. In reality, most slow beats are used in a non-commercialized setting for a tongue-in-cheek type humor. This is not to say the music has anything to do with the subject matter of slow dancing.
The difference between a well-made slow electronic dance music and one that is not is often the tempo. Most dance music these days is very fast paced and many people find it hard to dance at a slower pace. These fast beats attract a crowd very quickly, so those artists who are trying to make slow music for a crowd may not get a chance to show off their work. A good example of this is Party Juices’ “Mystery Train”. This song has a very unique beat that is fast but not over the top like many of the breakbeats in a commercial dance mix.
Another reason slow beats are a good choice for noncommercial use is because many people find them easy to dance to. Breakbeats are harder to move to because they need to be timed perfectly so the dancer can hit each beat in time. With slow electronic dance music, the dancer does not have to count beats or worry about timing. This is especially good for people who are new to electronic music and do not yet know how to play difficult songs.
Another great thing about slow electronic dance music is that sometimes certain songs are just too difficult to dance to for some people. The music may be slow enough for someone who is new to be able to dance at the same pace as someone who is experienced. Some people seem to have a harder time understanding beats that are repeated often, like reggae or house music. This type of music can be boring for some dancers to dance to because they are used to hearing it all the time. In this case, the dancer is forced to relearn skills that they may not be used to yet.
Some artists make slow beats for fun. Sometimes artists will create a tempo that is fast for an idea or for the look of a song. For example, many people seem to like slow electronic dance music that has a very distorted sound to it. This is most noticeable if the tempo is slowed way down or completely cut out.
Some people also like to make their own beats. They can do this by recording their voice with a metronome and playing it back at a certain speed. Sometimes the recorded voice will be higher or lower than the original. This makes it a bit more interesting for some people.
As you can see, there are many reasons why some people prefer slow electronic dance music to regular fast beats. The main reason may simply be because it fits the person’s style better. Some people have trouble dancing at fast speeds, but they might dance at slow speeds well if it’s something they like. Slow beats often remind people of things that they enjoy, so they can dance to it.
