Electronica – Dance – DJ
– Electronic Dance Music, kurz EDM –
Das Label für verschiedene Stilarten elektronisch erzeugter Musik, wie z. B. IDM, Drum ’n’ Bass, Big Beat und verschiedene Downbeat-Genres (u. a. Trip Hop, Dub und Lounge-Musik) aber auch Techno und House sowie Electro und Electroclash)
„’Electronica’ as a term appeared in the later 1990s as a descriptor for divergent EDMs and their abstractions. Used in North America less broadly than Europe, it has been charged by some as a deliberate marketing term for popular electronic music.”
– Roger Dean in The Oxford Handbook of Computer Music, 2009
