No. The variations are huge. Who is not ready, can prepare for when playing techno dance lounge, something like samba and jazz in the show. Entitled to test the sound, understand the difference in styles.

Baggage is about
the different strands of music electronics.

In the announcement of the party, nebulae words: techno, trance, house, electronic body music ... If you are a layman in multiple variations of the pile driver, here's an attempt to help you understand the sound of the slopes. The origin of electronic music is uncertain, but its most fundamental characteristic is the trend. The different sounds come together over time, the rhythm and blues from New Orleans to tribal sounds of Jamaica. The concern generated many labels, but they can not always define what is touching - can be something very new name that has not yet won. Today, anyone with a computer can give the DJ. The difference is in play in the fourth for the friends or in Ibiza, the capital of the world ballad, Spain.

But if we can not determine the origins, we can at least know to what stage is it? "It's impossible. The electronic music goes to all places at the same time," the theory DJ Rodolfo Pierry, national reference that began playing in the 80s in Aeroanta. He said that Sao Paulo is still the mecca of electronic music in the country. "Our clubs are very well equipped. DJs from around the world want to play here."

So ... we can only dance. While the lights are still lit, you train the theory.

Acid House
House accelerated sound with more piping. The name of the style comes from the consumption of drugs such as LSD and ecstasy acid, often found in electronic festivals. The smile, known for drawing a yellow smiling face, is considered the symbol of the most musical sty

Music: Acid Thunder
Artist: Fast Eddie

Breakbeat
Broken rhythm that mix elements of hip hop, funk and electronica. Several DJs of the fastest rates, such as techno, breakbeat use to calm down the runway for a few minutes. It was the Jungle and the bigbeat.

Bigbeat
Have you ever heard bands like Chemical Brothers, Prodigy and Fatboy Slim? They have a lot of style, which is a faster breakbeat, with elements of rock and funk

Disco
In the 1970s, it was almost a rule to Tuesday ballad sound live. When some began to use the vinyl, the clubs were born. The style, marked by the influence of black music, has musical arrangements, voice and presence of Latin rhythms such as salsa.

Dub
Musical style hypnotic, repetitive who was born in Jamaica during the 1960s. It is full of echo and reverb, effects produced by studios.

Drum and bass
Apace with the presence of low rainfall. It is a variation of the jungle with some elements of jazz. Sounds like something a little more refined - some tend to say that in the 1980s the jungle was too associated with the consumption of crack and so many came to call the style of drum (drums, in English) and bass (low). Thus, avoided being taxed for drugs.

Electro
Around 1980, emerged as the style associated with the tracks of the games of the Atari video game. The name most of this type of music is Kraftwerk, the German group to understand the fundamental electronic music. The time has passed, and with the success of the disc jungle in the 1990s, the electro was half forgotten. Since 2000, the style back with everything, thanks to names like Miss Kittin, Fischerspooner and Peaches. The electro abuses in the use of synthesizers.

Electronic Body Music (E.B.M)
This is easy: union of guitars and vocals with heavy beats dark.

Eurobeat
House unpretentious. DJs usually talk that the style is eight or eighties. For some, gladly. For others, extremely omega. It makes tremendous success in Japan and in the classroom of Gymnasium.

Garage House
Another style that was born of the house. The difference is that the sound recalls the more rhythm & blues and the disk. The name came to the club Paradise Garage in New York, until now the big ballad style. The site is a large garage that opens to the 4h a.m just for guests. Inside, there are breakfast and movies. Instead, came the type of dance known as Vogue, where famous people dance so sexy is displaying a for others.

House
It is the "version 2.0" disc of music, usually in bar four per four (note the example of audio as a string of hits back to repeat the fourth time). The music repeats itself and seems to have no end. The style is softer than the techno and generally played at meetings of friends before (chill-in) or after (chill-out) of the ballad.

Jungle
It has no secret: the breakbeat much faster and with influence of Jamaican culture. To be even easier, imagine the sound of an Indian tribe remixes.

Lounge
Relaxing music, not necessarily to dance. It's usually a soundtrack in the background of the hotel bars and casinos. Evil: notes of elevator music.

New Beat
E.B.M. slower, a little less dancing.

Techno
Style stepped up raids famous for, which is popular in Detroit in the 1980s. The rule is clear: the sound needs vary between 120 and 140 beats per minute. DJs use a lot of style percussion and melody minimum of (succession of sounds combined).

Trance
It's easy to set the style for the purpose to which it proposes: making the listener into trance dance of both. When the victim is at the height of the animation, the music is soft, almost stopping, until the frenzied pace before returning with everything. Note the example of audio such as music follows the route: maximum, minimum and maximum.

Trip Hop
The blues is the style of electronic music. Mixing hip hop, jazz and voice whispered. Everything is esfumaçante, mysterious, but at the same time charming. When you watch the singer Beth Gibbons singing, the band Portishead, will understand better.

Psytrance
It was puffy from both trance dance? Try then psytrance, which is even more dancing, even faster, more exciting. But the rule of the "bite, and blow" still applies.
