Electronic dance music has been around for a very long time, more as an underground/alternative music scene rather than mainstream. However, the last few years has seen a dramatic rise in the production of and audience for EDM.

This rise in interest is mainly due to ‘super DJs’ such as Avicii, David Guetta and Calvin Harris, who have managed to get their music into the top of the pop charts frequently. This has resulted in a huge investment and expansion of an industry that is already values at around $6.9 billion.
