It was a herculean effort by the crew to keep the event going and in spite of the weather the event went well. The 2008 event, held during 18–20 July, underwent some consolidation in the light of "festival fatigue" in

The song, released on Mark Knight's Toolroom Records label, has a music video featuring the "Playhouse",
10220-476: The definition of MIDI and the use of dance beats, led to a more commercial and accessible sound for synth-pop. This, its adoption by the style-conscious acts from the New Romantic movement, together with the rise of MTV , led to success for large numbers of British synth-pop acts (including Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet ) in the United States. The use of digital sampling and looping in popular music

House music quickly spread to American cities including New York City, and Newark , and Detroit—all of which developed their own regional scenes. In
10640-403: The first Detroit productions to receive wider attention was Derrick May's " Strings of Life " (1987), which, together with May's previous release, "Nude Photo" (1987), helped raise techno's profile in Europe, especially the UK and Germany, during the 1987–1988 house music boom (see Second Summer of Love ). It became May's best-known track, which, according to Frankie Knuckles, "just exploded. It

The festival was cancelled in 2013, it did not reappear as was planned in 2014, however the Glade Stage at the main Glastonbury festival continues. Glade Festival originated from
10920-615: The first-ever Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart. By 2005, the prominence of dance music in North American popular culture had markedly increased. According to Spin , Daft Punk 's performance at Coachella in 2006 was the "tipping point" for EDM—it introduced the duo to a new generation of "rock kids".

11480-528: The innovative techniques of electronic dance music onto the American pop charts" By the mid-2000s, Dutch producer Tiësto was bringing worldwide popular attention to EDM after providing a soundtrack to the entry of athletes during the opening ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympics — an event which The Guardian deemed as one of the 50 most important events in dance music. In 2003, the influence of dance music on American radio resulted in Billboard creating
11620-529: The last 40 years, for example; house , techno , drum and bass , dance-pop etc. Stylistic variation within an established EDM genre can lead to the emergence of what is called a subgenre . Hybridization, where elements of two or more genres are combined, can lead to the emergence of an entirely new genre of EDM. In the late 1960s bands such as Silver Apples created electronic music intended for dancing. Other early examples of music that influenced later electronic dance music include Jamaican dub music during
11760-595: The late 1960s to 1970s, the synthesizer-based disco music of Italian producer Giorgio Moroder in the late 1970s, and the electropop of Kraftwerk and Yellow Magic Orchestra in the mid-to-late 1970s. Author Michael Veal considers dub music , a Jamaican music stemming from roots reggae and sound system culture that flourished between 1968 and 1985, to be one of the important precursors to contemporary electronic dance music. Dub productions were remixed reggae tracks that emphasized rhythm, fragmented lyrical and melodic elements, and reverberant textures. The music

It was prefigured in the 1960s and early 1970s by the use of synthesizers in progressive rock , electronic , art rock , disco .

The Human League used monophonic synthesizers to produce music with
12040-463: The licence was extended to 9500 tickets, which sold out in 8 hours, making it the fastest selling festival in the UK that year. Glade was also the first UK festival to host a stage dedicated to dubstep and was responsible for bringing many now successful dance acts and DJs into the public eye. By 2006, the event had sold out 14,500 tickets without even releasing the artists line up – a phenomenon unheard of outside of Glastonbury Festival. The third Glade
12180-596: The margins of the US industry . In 1998, Madonna 's album Ray of Light —heavily influenced by club music trends and produced with British producer William Orbit —brought dance music to the attention of popular music listeners. In the late 1990s, despite US media interest in dance music re-branded as electronica, American house and techno producers continued to travel abroad to establish their careers as DJs and producers. According to New York Times journalist Kelefa Sanneh, Aaliyah 's 2000 single " Try Again " "helped smuggle

The most influential turntable was the Technics SL-1200 , which was developed in 1971 by a team led by Shuichi Obata at Matsushita, which then released it onto the market in 1972. In the 1980s and 1990s hip-hop DJs used turntables as musical instruments in their own right and virtuosic use developed into a creative practice called turntablism. In 1974, George McCrae 's early disco hit " Rock Your Baby "
12460-415: The members admitted that the sessions had been fraught with problems, with the individual members working in their own studios and only communicating via mixes of the raw material passed back and forth on DAT . After the release of the album a large number of mixes of the album tracks seemed to surface on singles, magazine promotional CDs and similar ephemeral formats perhaps indicating the number of revisions
12600-578: The mid-to-late 1980s, house music became popular in Europe as well as major cities in South America, and Australia. Chicago House experienced some commercial success in Europe with releases such as "House Nation" by House Master Boyz and the Rude Boy of House (1987). Following this, a number of house inspired releases such as " Pump Up The Volume " by M|A|R|R|S (1987), " Theme from S'Express " by S'Express (1988), and " Doctorin'
12740-592: The music industry by acquainting with established "big name" DJs and producers. Producers like Martin Garrix and Porter Robinson are often noted for their ghost production work for other producers while David Guetta and Steve Aoki are noted for their usage of ghost producers in their songs whereas DJs like Tiësto have been openly crediting their producers in an attempt to avoid censure and for transparency. Many ghost producers sign agreements that prevent them from working for anyone else or establishing themselves as

The production was broadcast as a part of National Theatre Live on 17 March 2011, with a soundtrack release on Underworld's website in March 2011. In November 2011, Underworld announced two new compilations, A Collection and 1992–2012 Anthology . A Collection features many of the band's biggest tracks alongside recent collaborations with High Contrast featuring Tiësto & Underworld ("The First Note Is Silent"), Mark Knight & D. Ramirez ("Downpipe") and Brian Eno ("Beebop Hurry"). 1992–2012 Anthology
13020-445: The name would not be easily understood outside the UK. Finally, after all the singles had been released, a box set, Beaucoup Fish Singles , which was a retrospective of all 4 singles came out. Underworld embarked on a well-received tour in 1999, which resulted in a live CD and DVD drawn from several dates on the tour. Called Everything, Everything , the project captured the live Underworld experience very faithfully. A companion DVD
13160-521: The new site was not revealed at this stage, other than to say it would be "in the south of England". The organisers blamed the move on "restrictions set by Berkshire Council" and promised "a new and equally lovely site which will allow them to crank it up properly". Festival director Nick Ladd confirmed on the Ravetalk website on 27 January 2009 that the new venue was at Matterley Bowl, Winchester . Glade Festival features many acts that are well known in
13300-689: The number one and number two spots, respectively, on the UK top 40 singles chart. Since then, electro-house producers such as Feed Me , Knife Party , The M Machine , Porter Robinson , Yasutaka Nakata and Dada Life have emerged. Trap music originated from techno , dub, and Dutch house , but also from the original off-shoot of Southern hip hop in the late 2000s and early 2010s. This form of trap music can be simplified by these three features: "1/3 hip hop (tempo and song structure are similar, most tracks are usually between 70 and 110 bpm) – with vocals sometimes being pitched down, 1/3 dance music – high-pitched Dutch synth work, hardstyle sampling, as well as

Underworld contributed 11 of the 36 tracks on the soundtrack, Isles of Wonder . For their work on
13720-606: The origins of the genre can be traced back to the growth of the Jamaican sound system party scene in the early 1980s. The earliest known dubstep releases date back to 1998, and were usually featured as B-sides of 2-step garage single releases. These tracks were darker, more experimental remixes with less emphasis on vocals, and attempted to incorporate elements of breakbeat and drum and bass into 2-step. In 2001, this and other strains of dark garage music began to be showcased and promoted at London's nightclub Plastic People, at
13860-580: The past. During their tour, they released a 3-CD set Live in Tokyo , which was sold after the concert in Japan and later sold online.

These were only released online, with no physical release (except for a promo CD). On 5 June 2006, they released their third installment, and on 10 July 2006, they released The Misterons Mix ,
14000-568: The phonestrap/autotrader series. On 3 July 2009, Underworld debuted a new song tentatively titled "Between Stars" at the Montreux Jazz Festival . Shortly before that, a post was made on the band's diary page showing a piece of paper with the song's first verse on it. On 8 August 2009, a show at Los Angeles' Forum was cancelled in circumstances similar to those that led to the group cancelling the show in Athens two years prior. Some of

Turntablism has origins in the invention of the direct-drive turntable , by Shuichi Obata, an engineer at Matsushita (now Panasonic ). In 1969, Matsushita released it as the SP-10 , the first direct-drive turntable on
14280-621: The popularization of electronic dance music was associated with European rave and club culture and it achieved limited popular exposure in the United States. By the mid-to-late 1990s this began to change as the American music industry made efforts to market a range of dance genres as " electronica ". At the time, a wave of electronic music bands from the United Kingdom, including The Prodigy , The Chemical Brothers , Fatboy Slim and Underworld , had been prematurely associated with an "American electronica revolution". But rather than finding mainstream success, many established EDM acts were relegated to
14420-559: The post-disco era include dance-pop , boogie , electro , Hi-NRG , Italo disco , house , and techno . In the early 1980s, electro (short for "electro-funk") emerged as a fusion of synth-pop , funk , and boogie . Also called electro-funk or electro-boogie, but later shortened to electro, cited pioneers include Ryuichi Sakamoto , Afrika Bambaataa , Zapp , D.Train , and Sinnamon . Early hip hop and rap combined white European electropop influences such as Giorgio Moroder, Dan Lacksman (Telex) and Yellow Magic Orchestra inspired
14560-670: The post-disco era that followed the backlash against " disco " which began in the mid to late 1979, which in the United States lead to civil unrest and a riot in Chicago known as the Disco Demolition Night , an underground movement of "stripped-down" disco inspired music featuring "radically different sounds" started to emerge on the East Coast . This new scene was seen primarily in the New York metropolitan area and
14700-415: The previous albums on which Emerson had had input. In 2003, a 2-disc anthology entitled 1992–2002 was released. This was the first appearance on an album of previously unavailable single tracks and B-sides, such as "Bigmouth", " Spikee ", " Dirty " and "8 Ball". While touring in the summer and autumn of 2005, the duo was joined on stage by Darren Price, a DJ and producer who had remixed Underworld releases in
14840-440: The release and promotion of Everything, Everything , Emerson decided to leave Underworld to focus on his solo projects and record label. Hyde and Smith decided to continue as a duo. They recorded a new album, A Hundred Days Off , released to general approval. Despite its status as the band's first studio album since Emerson's departure, its general sound and feel was, perhaps surprisingly for many Underworld fans, not dissimilar to
14980-1023: The same year. The early 1980s were electro's mainstream peak. According to author Steve Taylor, Afrika Bambaataa's Planet Rock serves as a "template for all interesting dance music since". In the early 1980s, Chicago radio jocks The Hot Mix 5 and club DJs Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles played various styles of dance music, including older disco records (mostly Philly disco and Salsoul tracks), Italo Disco, electro funk tracks by artists such as Afrika Bambaataa , newer Italo disco , B-Boy hip hop music by Man Parrish , Jellybean Benitez , Arthur Baker , and John Robie , and electronic pop music by Giorgio Moroder and Yellow Magic Orchestra . Some made and played their own edits of their favorite songs on reel-to-reel tape, and sometimes mixed in effects, drum machines, and other rhythmic electronic instrumentation. The hypnotic electronic dance song "On and On", produced in 1984 by Chicago DJ Jesse Saunders and co-written by Vince Lawrence , had elements that became staples of
15120-413: The seminal " Planet Rock ", which was influenced by Yellow Magic Orchestra (Ryuichi Sakamoto - Riot In Lagos 1980) and had drum beats supplied by the TR-808. Planet Rock was followed later that year by another breakthrough electro record, " Nunk " by Warp 9 . In 1983, Hashim created an electro-funk sound with "Al-Naafyish (The Soul)" that influenced Herbie Hancock , resulting in his hit single " Rockit "
15260-431: The singer's R&B sounds. In 2009, French house musician David Guetta began to gain prominence in mainstream pop music thanks to several crossover hits on Top 40 charts such as " When Love Takes Over " with Kelly Rowland , as well as his collaborations with US pop and hip hop acts such as Akon (" Sexy Bitch ") and The Black Eyed Peas (" I Gotta Feeling "). The music sharing website SoundCloud , as well as

On 19 October 2007, Underworld cancelled the remaining dates of their European tour due to illness in the band. The tour was picked up again on 28 January 2008, with a concert in Cologne, followed by 16 dates in Europe, including some festivals. On 8 August 2008, Underworld appeared at
15540-556: The track " Boy, Boy, Boy ". Underworld, in collaboration with composer John Murphy , completed the soundtrack to the Danny Boyle film, Sunshine , in late 2006.

On 16 June 2007, Underworld were forced to cancel their show at the Ejekt Festival in Athens, Greece. Approximately 30 masked Greek anarchists stormed
15680-599: The tracks had gone through to get to the point where they were acceptable to all three. The album's name derives from a sample of a Cajun fisherman in Louisiana on the track " Jumbo ". The band originally wanted to call the album Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be Underworld (a catchphrase used by contestants on the UK ITV programme Stars in Their Eyes ) but were convinced by their record company, Junior Boy's Own , that
15820-488: The trance crowd led directly to a more commercial, chart-oriented sound since trance had never enjoyed much chart action in the first place. Emphasizing the smoother sound of Eurodance or house (and occasionally more reminiscent of Jean-Michel Jarre than Basement Jaxx ), Progressive Trance became the sound of the world's dance floors by the end of the millennium. Critics ridiculed its focus on predictable breakdowns and relative lack of skill to beat-mix, but progressive trance
15960-468: The use of found material from overheard conversations, answering machine recordings and the like. Hyde had been the lead singer in Underworld Mk1 but the original Hyde/Smith dance material was lyric-free as was most of the electronic music emerging from the aftermath of acid house . The band's 1996 album, Second Toughest in the Infants , was their second studio album with Emerson and achieved
16100-455: The use of digital sampling in popular music, as the first album consisting of mostly samples and loops . The album was produced using Toshiba-EMI 's LMD-649 digital PCM sampler , which engineer Kenji Murata custom-built for YMO. The LMD-649 was also used for sampling by other Japanese synthpop artists in the early 1980s, including YMO-associated acts such as Chiemi Manabe and Logic System . The emergence of electronic dance music in
16240-496: The video sharing website YouTube, also helped fuel interest in electronic music. Dubstep producer Skrillex popularized a harsher sound dubbed " Brostep ", which had drawn comparisons to the aggression and tone of heavy metal . With the increasing popularity of electronic dance music, promoters and venues realized that DJs could generate larger profits than traditional musicians; Diplo explained that "a band plays [for] 45 minutes; DJs can play for four hours. Rock bands—there's
16380-468: The wake of the declines at SFX Entertainment, slowing growth in revenue, the increasing costs of organizing festivals and booking talent, as well as an oversaturation of festivals in the eastern and western United States. Insomniac CEO Pasquale Rotella felt that the industry would weather the financial uncertainty of the overall market by focusing on "innovation" and entering into new markets. Despite forecasts that interest in popular EDM would wane, in 2015 it
16520-569: The weekend, and tickets sold out on 14 July. The location for 2009's festival was confirmed as the Matterley Bowl in Winchester.

16940-417: Was also a perceived association between EDM and drug culture , which led governments at state and city levels to enact laws and policies intended to halt the spread of rave culture. Subsequently, in the new millennium, the popularity of EDM increased globally, particularly in the United States and Australia. By the early 2010s, the term "electronic dance music" and the initialism "EDM" was being pushed by
17080-512: Was an important proving ground for American underground dance music. The success of house and acid house paved the way for Detroit Techno , a style that was initially supported by a handful of house music clubs in Chicago, New York, and Northern England, with Detroit clubs catching up later. The term Techno first came into use after a release of a 10 Records/Virgin Records compilation titled Techno: The Dance Sound of Detroit in 1988. One of

The location was Houghton Hall in Norfolk. The festival
17360-604: Was caned by the hottest DJ." By the early 1990s, a style of music developed within the rave scene that had an identity distinct from American house and techno. This music, much like hip-hop before it, combined sampled syncopated beats or breakbeats, other samples from a wide range of different musical genres, and, occasionally, samples of music, dialogue, and effects from films and television programmes. Relative to earlier styles of dance music such as house and techno, so-called 'rave music' tended to emphasise bass sounds and use faster tempos, or beats per minute (BPM). This subgenre
17500-492: Was characterized by "soulful synths, 808s, the pan flute, sharp snares and long, syrup-slurred vowels" which created dirty and aggressive beats resulting in "dark melodies". Trap is now mainly used to create remixes of already existing songs. In 1980 English producer Richard James Burgess , and his band Landscape , used the term on the sleeve of the single "European Man": "Electronic Dance Music... EDM; computer programmed to perfection for your listening pleasure." In response to
17640-413: Was describing electronic dance music as the fastest-growing genre in the world. Elements of electronic music also became increasingly prominent in pop music. Radio and television also contributed to dance music's mainstream acceptance. Corporate consolidation in the EDM industry began in 2012—especially in terms of live events.

After a break—to concentrate on, among other things, art/design project Tomato —Hyde and Smith recruited DJ Darren Emerson and signed to Steven Hall's Junior Boys Own label. After several releases and remixes as Lemon Interupt and Steppin' Razor, they readopted

The sound that emerged originated from P-Funk the electronic side of disco , dub music , and other genres. Much of the music produced during this time was, like disco, catering to a singles-driven market. At this time creative control started shifting to independent record companies, less established producers, and club DJs. Other dance styles that began to become popular during
18200-455: Was known as "hardcore" rave, but from as early as 1991, some musical tracks made up of these high-tempo breakbeats, with heavy basslines and samples of older Jamaican music, were referred to as "jungle techno ", a genre influenced by Jack Smooth and Basement Records, and later just "jungle", which became recognized as a separate musical genre popular at raves and on pirate radio in Britain. It
18340-416: Was like something you can't imagine, the kind of power and energy people got off that record when it was first heard. Mike Dunn says he has no idea how people can accept a record that doesn't have a bassline." According to British DJ Mark Moore , "Strings of Life" led London club-goers to accept house: "because most people hated house music and it was all rare groove and hip hop...I'd play 'Strings of Life' at
18480-805: Was one of the first records to use a drum machine , an early Roland rhythm machine. The use of drum machines in disco production was influenced by Sly and the Family Stone 's " Family Affair " (1971), with its rhythm echoed in McCrae's "Rock Your Baby", and Timmy Thomas ' " Why Can't We Live Together " (1972). Disco producer Biddu used synthesizers in several disco songs from 1976 to 1977, including "Bionic Boogie" from Rain Forest (1976), "Soul Coaxing" (1977), and Eastern Man and Futuristic Journey (recorded from 1976 to 1977). Acts like Donna Summer , Chic , Earth, Wind & Fire , Heatwave , and
18620-778: Was only with the advent of 21st-century technology that African EDM truly began to thrive. Popular contemporary millennium Afro-EDM genres and styles can be found within the gqom ( South Africa ) and Afrobeats ( Nigeria ) genres. Music scenes in other African countries exist such as in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (tekno kintueni). Pon Pon (also ADM or African Dance Music) emerged in Nigeria circa 2018 denoting EDM influences intermingled with Afrobeats, Nigerian Afropop, dancehall and highlife . A variant
18760-471: Was pioneered by Japanese electronic music band Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO). Their approach to sampling was a precursor to the contemporary approach of constructing music by cutting fragments of sounds and looping them using computer technology. " Computer Game/Firecracker " (1978) interpolated a Martin Denny melody, and sampled Space Invaders video game sounds . Technodelic (1981) introduced
