Dance music genre and terms

Since this genre became famous lately and I thought could share the music knowledge. It's a just one of music genre which came from the electronic music, primarily created from instruments of electronic musical or electronic music technology. This music genre not easy created as its sound, but if you get used to handle one of those tools would be just a piece a cake :D  A distinction has been made between sound produced using electromechanical means and that produced using electronic technology. Purely electronic sound production can be achieved using devices such as like the Theremin, sound synthesizer and of course the computer will dominate for this music genre.

In its early development electronic music was associated almost exclusively with Western art music, but from the late 1960s on the availability of affordable music technology, particularly of synthesisers, meant that music produced using electronic means became increasingly common in the popular domain of rock and pop music, resulting in major electronically based sub-genres. After the definition of MIDI in 1982 and the digital audio's development, the creation of purely electronic sounds and their manipulation became much simpler. As a result synthesizers came to dominate the pop music of the early 1980s. In the late 1980s, dance music records made using only electronic instruments became increasingly popular, resulting in a proliferation of electronic genres, sub-genres and scenes. In the new millennium, as computer technology became even more accessible and music software advanced, interacting with music production technology made it possible to create music that has no relationship to traditional musical performance practices, leading to further developments and rapidly evolving sub-genres.

Just Quote for Surfing

"Zurfing for me, it's something that's completely unstructured. It's the rhythm of the world. It's the physical connection to the Universe" (Zeke Topanga)
