The most popular elements used in music today, Hip Hop and Electronic Dance, have more similarities in their origins than you may think.
A time known affectionately as…
“The Age of Hip Hop Electronic”
the beat has broken, and Music will never be the same!
This site is dedicated to the mad music scientists who pioneered turntablism, 808s, drum machines, spoken word, synthesizers, samples, keyboards, breakbeats, arpeggiators, talk boxes, vocoders, 120+ tempos, electronic dance music, celebrating diversity with dance, or merely the art of blowing up a speaker and dance floor!
It wasn't just music it was a global sound revolution!
By using this site you’re also helping support independent artists and electronic musicians worldwide so THANK YOU!
Tell your friends to come and maybe they’ll learn enough about the history of electronic dance music genres to stop calling it all “EDM.”
