In the late 1980s and early 1990s, following the emergence of raving, pirate radio, Part圜rews, underground festivals and an upsurge of interest in club culture, EDM achieved mainstream popularity in Europe. Since its inception EDM has expanded to include a wide range of subgenres. EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting in what is sometimes called a live PA. It is generally produced for playback by DJs who create seamless selections of tracks, called a DJ mix, by segueing from one recording to another. Electronic dance music ( EDM) is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres originally made for nightclubs, raves, and festivals.
