 Electronic dance music is a broad range of
percussive electronic music genres made largely for
nightclubs, raves and festivals. It is generally produced
for playback by disc jockeys who create seamless
selections of tracks, called a “mix” by segueing from
one recording to another.
Techno is a form of electronic dance music
that emerged in Detroit, Michigan, in the
United States during the mid-to-late 1980s.
Stylistically, techno is
generally repetitive
instrumental music,
often produced for use in
a continuous DJ set.
The tempo tends to vary
between approximately
120 to 150 beats per
minute (bpm),
depending on the style of
techno.
Nowadays, there are
numerous subgenres of
 Microhouse, or sometimes just
minimal,
is a subgenre of house music strongly influenced
by
minimalism and 1990s techno. Microhouse shares
some common elements with less intense
deep house, notably low pulsating
basslines and long-lasting crashes;
however,they diverge in tempo
and the presence of vocals.
Drum and Bass
Drum and bass (commonly
abbreviated as "DnB" or "D'n'B"),
is a genre of electronic music
which emerged from rave and
jungle scenes in Britain during
the early 1990s. The style is often
characterised by fast breakbeats
(typically 160–180 beats per
minute) with heavy bass and sub-
bass lines.
How it’s made?
 The creative use of music production technology,
such as drum machines, synthesizers, and digital audio
workstations, is an important aspect of the music's
aesthetic. Many producers use retro electronic musical
devices to create what they consider to be an authentic
techno sound.
Drum machines from the 1980s such as Roland's
TR-808 and TR-909 are highly prized, and software
emulations of such retro technology are popular
among techno producers.
 A digital audio workstation (DAW) is an electronic device or
application software used for recording, editing and producing audio files.
DAWs come in a wide variety of configurations from a single software
program on a laptop, to an integrated stand-alone unit.
