E.M.T.

electronic music technology.

Over the past decade or so, electronic music has been rising with popularity. Electronic music for some is meant to open the horizons towards melodies and rhythms not limited by the physical properties of an instrument and its musician.

Techno, a form of EDM (electronic dance music) emerged in Detroit, Michigan around the mid 1980's. Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, and Eddie Fowlkes were all HUGE contributors to the initial techno blueprint. They merged a Euro-type pop with some soul, funk, and disco sounds.

Today, electronic music comes in all flavors. And when I mean flavors, I mean beats that suit every kind of listener. Some electronic artists add lyrics or inserts from movies or other songs and others use reggae, rock, and soulful styles to add an interesting flair.
