Check out this guide to EDM's most popular sub-genres (includes audio samples). We're at a crossroad: It's up to us to let people know that the world of electronic dance music is more than just the DJs on the Ultra main stage. I listen to a track like that and I'm, like, 'wow, that's a pretty hard track.' And on top 40." Afrojack's "Summerthing" is all over mainstream radio. Not so long ago it would have been impossible to get Calvin Harris on top 40 stations now Calvin releases a record and he's all but guaranteed to appear on mainstream radio. "In fact, EDM's crossover to the mainstream is nothing short of phenomenal. But dance is certainly not going anywhere. Future House is almost the same thing as UK Garage, with one more beat added on to it. You look at ten years ago and it was hard trance, the type of stuff that's being produced now, just at a slower BPM. I do think that many dance genres are cycling through, just like music does. "But somewhere along the line, the meaning of EDM has been distorted to refer only to festival, progressive house stuff, which it's not EDM is electronic dance music: House, deep house, breakbeat, trance - everything fits beneath the EDM umbrella."Īnd what of the never-ending rumors of EDM's imminent demise? "One of the biggest problems is that EDM encompasses everything," says Brian. When he's not busy fulfilling his duties as production director and on-air personality at Tampa Bay's 93.3FLZ, or overseeing the programming for iHeartRadio's syndicated Evolution broadcast, Brian Fink serves as iHeartMedia's EDM Brand Ambassador, a role that has, as Brian readily admits, its challenges.
