There are many kinds of different EDM (Electronic Dance Music) genres. If you don't know what EDM is its music that is played at raves or parties. The more popular EDM genres are house, Dubstep, big room, and progressive house. House music is when a song typically has a beat that has bass and is repeating the same cycle with the beat. This kind of music can be similar to funk because there is a beat that is repeated in a sequence. House is personally my favorite because when I listen to house, I get a better reaction out of it compared to another genre of EDM. My top 5 songs from this genre are;

Tchami - Prophecy

Fisher - Ya Kidding

Fisher - Crowd Control

Chris lake - Turn off the Lights

Infinity Ink - Infinity

Another genre that is one of my favorites from this kind of music is Progressive House. The progressive house gives you a feelings reaction, followed by an uplifting response. Progressive house first came from the United Kingdom in the early 1990s when they were played at British clubs. My top 5 songs from Progressive house are;

Swedish House Mafia - Don't You Worry Child

DubVision and Afrojack - New Memories

Kaskade - Atmosphere

OneRepublic - If I Lose Myself

KSHMR - Carry Me Home

Dubstep is one of the more known genres when thinking about EDM. Personally, Dubstep is not one of my favorite genres in EDM. So instead, I will be recommending songs from Big room. Big room is also one of the most popular styles from EDM. Big room gives you that jumpy feeling due to the heavy bass drop. Big room has gained mainstream popularity after artists like Martin Garrix. Big room is one the most played genres along with Progressive house at EDM events such as Tomorrowland. Big room may be tough to listen at first because of the heavy bass, which is why it is mostly played at events. My top 5 songs from Big room are;

RL Grime, Valentino Khan Remix - Pressure

Martin Garrix - Animals

Phlegmatic Dogs - Cuatrocats

BROHUG - If I'm Wrong

Tujamo - Drop That Low
