Music style guide

Electronic music

Electronic music describes a way of making sound rather than one fixed dance-floor formula. Synthesizers, sampling and digital production can support anything from intimate songs to abstract soundscapes.

What to listen for

Listen for the relationship between texture and structure: a small change in tone can carry as much meaning as a new melody. Use the artist profiles below to hear how different musicians approach this sound. These are listening connections, rather than a claim that each artist works exclusively within one style.
