TRANCE,EDM, HOUSE MUSIC whats the difference?

ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC.

EDM is a set of percussive electronic music genres produced for dance based entertainment environments such as nightclubs. It is largely created for use by DJ,s where the DJ progresses from one record to the next via mix. 

TRANCE.
Trance as a genre of electronic dance music developed in the 1990's in Germany. It is a genre on itself with other styles of electronic music such as techno, house, pop, chill-out and classical music. A trance is a state of hypnotism and lessened consciousness. A common characteristic is the use of vocals often sung by a female voice ranging from mezzo-soprano to soprano sometimes without verse/chorus structure.

HOUSE MUSIC. 

House is a style of electronic dance music that originated in Chicago, Illinois, USA. It later infused in mainstream pop and dance music world wide. House is influenced by elements of soul and funk infused varieties of disco.








 It mimics disco percussions especially the use of prominent bass, funk and reverb or delay enhanced vocals. Has vocals on its chorus and verse. 

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOUSE, EDM AND TRANCE

Many people really don't know the difference between Trance, EDM and House Music. I once was in the same situation but with research and a lot of listening, I now know the difference.

Truth be told, there is a big difference between Trance, Electronic Dance Music and House music. Trance is a form of electronic music but it has a lot of loop layers and melodies. House music on the other side is made up of simple but bumping beat with a usually catchy melody and vocals as well.
