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!

"He Knew" by Krystal Dawn Land: The Cost Christ Chose Before the Cradle

Jesus knew everything, and He came anyway! Let’s go back to the birth of Jesus, a newborn lying in the manger, part of a larger plan and fully aware of where His path would end before He came to earth. Krystal Dawn Land’s song, “He Knew”, opens with a question that stops you cold, especially if you consider how you would respond: “What if He knew? What if He saw? What if He knew the pain He’d face to give it all?” This isn’t idle speculation. The song walks through the full arc of Jesus’ story, “from the cradle to the cross” , and insists that nothing that happened caught Him off guard. He saw the betrayal coming. He saw the doubt, the walking away, “some would not believe, some would walk away.” And still, as Krystal sings, “He did… He knew all along. He still came… to right every wrong.” That kind of foreknowledge changes how we read Isaiah 53:3–5, where the prophet describes the Messiah as “despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.” Jesus wasn’t ambushed by suffering. He wal...

"Consider the Lilies" by Madison Earl: A Gentle Call to Trade Worry for Trust

Who carries your worries when they feel too heavy? Arizona worship leader Madison Earl wrote “Consider the Lilies” for anyone who has lain awake worrying about tomorrow’s problems. It is the third of four original songs she plans to release in 2026. The message for this song is inspired by Matthew 6:26–34. Madison’s hope is that listeners remember that “they don’t have to carry everything on their own.” The chorus asks the questions we all ask. “What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?” Your questions may also be about an increase in rent, unpaid bills, test results, a difficult boss, a wayward child, and more… all of those questions fit. Then comes the answer: “He’s always there.” Jesus made the same point when He was sitting on a hillside. He told his listeners, “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.” Then he asked, “Are you not of more value than they?” Ask yourself that same questio...

"Lifeline" by Hudson Bezotte: Faith That Holds in Winter Seasons

Where do you turn when signs stop coming? Hudson Bezotte’s “Lifeline” opens with a confession, one you may also recognize. “I feel like I’ve been here a while.” He was met by Jesus as a child, and He “walked with me for miles.” But life happens, and it can be tough to keep the fire going “in the winter.” Have you been there, or is this where you’re at today? You still believe, but the wonder has cooled. Hudson wrote the song during a daily songwriting challenge, and the lyrics carry a lifetime of following Jesus: the disappointments, the desperation, and the hope that has outlasted them. He admits, “It’s not zero AD, I can’t just follow a star.” Nobody hands him a miracle on request. So he wrestles, and he demands “sign after sign.” God doesn’t scold him. He tears “through the nonsense” to remind Hudson (and each of us) that He is divine. That pattern runs through Scripture. Remember? Thomas wanted proof, and Jesus met him with nail-scarred hands. Then Jesus said something that ap...
