Welcome to The Dance & Electronica Channel
Prepare to experience the great variety of dance, trance and house tunes.

With the explosive growth of computers music technology and consequent reduction in the cost of equipment in the late 1990s, the number of artists and DJs working within electronic dance music is overwhelming. With the advent of hard disk recording systems, it is possible for any home computer user to become a musician, and hence the rise in the number of "bedroom bands", often consisting of a single person. Commercially successful artists working under the "electronica" rubric such as Fatboy Slim,3OH!3 Faithless, The Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada, Basement Jaxx, Daft Punk, The Crystal Method, Massive Attack, Madonna, The Prodigy, Orbital, Propellerheads, Lady Gaga, Underworld and Moby continue to release albums and perform regularly (sometimes in stadium-sized arenas, such has the popularity of electronic dance music grown). Some DJs such as Paul Oakenfold, ATB, John Digweed, Sasha, Paul van Dyk, David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Sandra Collins and Tijs Verwest (aka Tiësto) have reached true superstar status and can command five-figure salaries for a single performance. They perform for hours on end. Some DJs have world wide radio, and internet broadcasted shows that air weekly, such as A State of Trance, a show mixed by Armin van Buuren.
