Electronic

Electronic, *shortened from Electronic Dance Music / EDM* is a form of music that is typically made entirely through the use of electronics, these genres can offer much more diversity in sound than traditional song genres could ever achieve, Electronic music gave rise soon after the end of the disco era, starting with primarily House, Techno & Trance, then evolving into Electro & Breaks, and finally evolving into a majority of the genres we know of today.

The housing genres for the subgenres are intentionally left vague.

Below is a list of more detailed pages for specific subgenres that are often released by Anjuna.
