"This book explains the sounds and styles of electronic and experimental dance music, rates works by the increasingly large number of artists contained within the umbrella, and helps you find more music in whichever style you choose.".

"Electronica encompasses an immense range of musical styles and artists, from disco-centric house producers like Armand Van Helden to experimental electronics crews like Finland's Pan sonic.

This book has the info and insight you need to explore the most electrifying recordings across this dizzying spectrum: the irresistible rhythm of house, the engulfing pulse of techno, the lush twirl of trance, the rapid-fire blasts of jungle/drum'n'bass, the rich atmospherics of trip-hop, and much more."--BOOK JACKET.
