Electronic dance music (EDM), also known as dance music, is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres produced primarily for nightclubs, raves, and dance parties. It is generally produced for playback by DJs who create a seamless selection of tracks, called a mix, by segueing from one recording to another. EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting in what is sometimes called a live PA.

In Europe, genres such as house, techno, trance, and dubstep are popular forms of EDM. In the United States, EDM is a mainline genre, and the style varies widely. It often includes subgenres such as moombahton, brostep, and deep house. Closely related genres include electronic folk, electronic rock, and electronic soul. The genre is also used to describe video game music and many other Sebastian Bach-related genres
