New overview - Genres of Electronic Music v2.1


Most of the music that we air on our internet radio stream is what you call CEDM / EDM - (Christian) Electronic Dance Music. 

Did you know that there are 28 genres of Electronic Music? Now if you think that 28 genres are a challenge to remember, then just realize that in these 28 genres there are 162 sub-genres!

To increase the fun... 10 of these sub-genres have so-called sub-sub genres.  

And one of the sub-sub-genres has an even finer division into 3 sub-sub-sub-genres.

This is already confusing for Electronic music artists who sometimes need to ask around to find someone who can tell them in which sub-sub-genre their music belongs. Now just imagine how confusing this can be for listeners.

We have a solution to this challenge! We have a free overview (PDF) of the Electronic Music genres for your personal use. 

Now you can know that if electronic music is Progressive, then it is part of the House Music genre. If someone starts talking about Dubstep, you can be the smart one who asks if they mean Dubstep as in UK Garage, or Dubstep as part of the Dub genre.

I trust that you will enjoy the overview. You can download the PDF using this link: http://bit.ly/GoEMv21
The link will take you to a page in my Evernote account where you can download the PDF file.

Have fun!

'Treasure (Live)' by Taylor Pride: Diving Deeper into Divine Intimacy

As you lean in close, you'll hear something truly special in this live rendition of Taylor Pride's 'Treasure.' Here's a song that breaks bread with your spirit, an earnest plea desiring deeper intimacy with God - and chances are that this is what your heart is also seeking.  Imagine being taught by God Himself, as Taylor asks in his lyrics, 'Teach me your way, O Lord.' Like a piercing heart-to-heart, don't you think? Because don't we all long to know Him more and more?  Pride paints a vivid scene of gazing upon God's beauty, of longing for God - and that's His profound message, isn't it?

And it's in those deepest valleys that, if we're sti...

"Holy Flame" by Josh Grove - Talented Young Voice Inspires with Worship

Have you already heard Josh Grove's new song, "Holy Flame"? It's an upbeat worship song written and performed by Josh, and what makes this release even more intriguing is that Josh is a super talented 15-year-old singer-songwriter. He first shared this song at a youth event, and the response was so amazing that he was signed up by NRT. This release is the studio version. The song is all about the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, and celebrates God's constant goodness and grace. The lyrics remind us that He is with us in every moment, day, or night, through both joy and hardship.  With lyrics like "I see You rising like a wave // I see Yo u falling like the rain," Josh emphasizes that we can see God in every situation. He's right there with us through all of our ups and downs, offering us hope and ready to guide us (if we reach out and listen). "You're by my side // Until the end of time." What I also find very exciting is that i...

"Back to Life" by James Bizak: Power in the Name of Jesus With Pop Punk Sound

"Back to Life" by James Bizak is a raw, high-energy pop punk track with a bold Christian truth… Whenever we are feeling broken or lost, we will find hope and redemption in Jesus. The choice of this genre is intended to reach a wider audience, as well as more youth, right where they are—possibly feeling broken, abandoned, or even feeling dead inside.  The lyrics reflect a pain and emptiness that so many people are feeling: "I've been broken // Beaten down // My faith stolen." The song acknowledges our feelings of despair, and even more important, it points us to hope, "There's power in your blood // There's power in the name of Jesus." With lines like "When I was dead inside // You brought me back to life," the lyrics emphasize that redemption and restoration can only be found in Him.  James Bizak highlights that Jesus has ultimate authority over darkness, "You see me surrounded // The demons fall back. // … // A sea of never e...
