Most popular EDM genre in your area?

What city/state/country are you from and what EDM genre is most prominent there?

I am from central PA and around here house is practically the only edm genre you can get away with spinning. I wish i lived in or around europe...

My brother is now living in Fort Lauderdale FL and he tells me that Drum and Bass is pretty big down there...

what about you?

i think it's shit pop rap and r'n'b here. wouldn't know though as i don't listen to the radio and haven't been in any bars/clubs in ages.
and i'm from finland.

RnB and commercial house/"electro house"
No wonder I have to get wasted everytime I go out..

The more Electro side of House and the typical Trance. Techno has a very strong underground following. It's not popular, but very well-supported with some amazing intimate nights that you can't come close to in places like LA, NY, and Miami.

electro house is the most popular style around here. However, it's mostly top40 here.

So then which is it?

Top40 is the most popular.
Electro House is the most popular form of EDM.

PA, FL?

Electro-house is the mainstay here; TV Rock, Dirty South etc. Horrible.

Los Angeles, CA - It seems that in all clubbing environments, Hip-Hop, and Crunk Top 40 is the way to go...

But in EDM...like at the massive events...most the DJ's tend to play Progressive House on the main stage in front of 40,000 people....some play a more trancy genre...but overall...this is what's happening.

Im from Miami...Electro house has been a perdominant sound in this city, however it is slowly transitioning to more Tech house..sucks because I love electro lol

I'm in Atlanta right now. I haven't been here for long enough to tell which EDM genre is getting the most play time, but I do know that here we have a good Deep House scene, with multiple promoters booking shows on every night of the week. There's seriously about 4 different places to go to for Deep House on a Tuesday

There's also a DnB crew here, and a lot of local DJs are into ProgHouse.

I came from NC, and that scene is filled with Breaks, Breaks, and Breaks. Florida Breaks, Prog Breaks, NuSkool Breaks, Electro Breaks, Breaks Breaks, you name it! This is slowly changing as the scene as the druggies of the scene have downsized to mostly private house parties, and in that void Prog/Mnml/Electro House DJs are now playing at clubs.

Oh, and we had three (!!!) gay clubs in Hickory at one point last year. That's a lot of Circuit House!

Atlanta is all about house. House in almost any format. Of course you have to keep rap/hip hop first, but after that it's house.

In Milwaukee: Shitty, awful, horrible house and drum and bass, the majority of which has been beaten to death by the same 4 jocks for the past 10 years.

In Chicago, however, it's all about good house and techno. Trance still probably draws the biggest crowds (those Eastern European kids love to reach for the lasers), but there is so much good music in Chicago it hurts.

In Austin theres a really small EDM scene so its the obligatory top 40 + crunk rap.

The places that will play EDM will mix Bob Sinclair cheese with top 40, its pretty awful. Theres a few clubs that only play house but they are way to expensive and elitist for my taste.

no one likes EDM where i live. it's so bad they haven't even heard of tiesto

except for a few people....

I didn't really consider Top40 as EDM, but I suppose it is.

Toronto, Canada

Electro, House, Trance

In the bay area its really diverse. I haven't done enough exploring into SF to know all the clubs, but raves are typically a blend of trance house and DNB. Theres alot of breaks DJ's out here too.

Belfast - main event is trance, warm up djs house/electro

By central PA are you talking State College? Or Harrisburg? Or somewhere else entirely?

SF has the most DJs compared to any other area... so we're lucky to get a good mix of everything although it is still mostly hip-hop & house. Promoters do an awesome job too, its hard enough to decide to do on the weekends esp if you just don't like trance -- just look at the events thread ( http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=391752 ). Craziest night will likely be April 25th when we have Sasha & digweed, Get Physical (M.A.N.D.Y., Heidi, Booka Shade) and Danny Tenaglia to choose from and all within 2 blocks of each other! I'll likely do all 3

Minneapolis seems to be that way as well. DnB especially.

We just lost one of our best clubs as well (Foundation Night Club). It's definately hurt our scene around here with it's loss. I doubt the more snooty velvet rope clubs are going to let the Techno kids come in with their flannel shirts and Emo jeans.

The electro-house scene has seen a real rise here as well in the last year or so (just like everywhere else I'm sure). However, if you look hard enough you can find some good music up here still.

I've heard that there is a sizeable psytrance scene in Texas. Is it true?

UK (Midlands) - Electro, trance, techno and minimal

UK (London) - Techno, Minimal

There seems to be a lot of events now that have many styles playing though.

state college/altoona

for the most part, i only get to play house at the beginning of the night and maybe a few tracks throughout the night. then its hip hop and pop when the people start coming in. once i reach full rate at UPS, i'm gonna give up the top 40 gigs and do one or two nights a month in larger cities on the east coast playing good music.

i love tech house and techno. carl cox is my favorite. i'd love to put together a set like his, but i have yet to find a club in PA where that would fly. i was hoping to get some leads in the northeast from this thread....
