The COVID pandemic didn't understand the concept of fairness. Some industries escaped damage, other industries like tent rentals and food delivery companies made out, while still others felt the wrath of the grim reaper. Electronic Dance Music (EDM) is a music format that thrives on live festivals. The pandemic forced those festivals into a coma until recently.
In this episode of Discover This, listeners will dissect the rhythmic beats and history of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) with writer, producer and Spotify podcast host Lea Palmieri.
“Spotify: Discover This,” is a show aimed at sharing fresh insights on music, podcasting, cultural moments, and trends.
As EDM festivals return for the first time in two years, Lea Palmieri sits down with some of the most influential voices in the EDM genre from around the world including Gabry Ponte, Minelli, DJ John Summit, Piri and Tommy, and Focalistic to discuss the influence and future of EDM. She also connects with Ronny Ho and Christie Drive-Snell from our Spotify Dance Team to learn more about the genre’s origins and Spotify’s EDM playlist curation process.
The EDM genre is one of the most popular genres on Spotify internationally with 1.5 million dance music playlists and over 400 sub-genres. With iconic EDM playlists on-platform like “Spotify’s Planet Rave,” nearly one-in-ten streams on Spotify that come from Estonia, Hungary or Lithuania is a dance track.
