What is da Punk? • Electronica refers to a wide range of contemporary electronic music designed for a wide range of uses, including foreground listening, some forms of dancing, and background music for other activities; but unlike electronic dance music, is not specifically focused on the dance floor. • The term was first used in the early 1990s United States with regards to post-rave global-influenced electronic dance music. • Genres such as techno, drum and bass, and ambient are among those encompassed by the umbrella term, entering the American mainstream from "alternative" or "underground" venues during the late 1990s. • Prior to the adoption of electronica for this purpose, terms such as electronic listening music, braindance, trance and intelligent dance music (IDM) were used.
And More About da Punk! • House music is a style of electronic dance music that was developed by dance clubDJs in Chicago in the early to mid-1980s. • House music is strongly influenced by elements of the late 1970s soul- and funk-infused dance music style of disco. • House music takes disco's use of a prominent bass drum on every beat and developed a new style by mixing in a heavy electronic synthesizer bassline, electronic drums, electronic effects, funk and pop samples, and reverb (or delay)-enhanced vocals.
