Cool.
Not sure I understand this must start on the snare bit though?
The first beat has to be a snare?
The begging of the song has to be a snare?



no not dub step...

thats just ONE of the many genre's of electronic dance music. {actually It can be any pop track now days.}

but the snare thing... most tracks start on the one. try being creative when you silence the first beat in your first bar..

that's just too broad a term. it can be used to describe almost any genre of electronic music. hiphop's electronic, you can dance to it and it's definitely music, does that make it edm?

the way i see it we're supposed to make anything except hiphop for this battle is that right?

anyway, it's gonna be interesting to see what everyone comes up with.

:WTF: Kapp yours sound like hip hop. Maybe double that tempo and see what it sounds like as drum and bass. You totally failed at not making hiphop/trip hop, and it made me laugh a bit. Borat has got it, but failed to start on the snare. I liked it to but would have left the dance floor for the beginning cos its a slow build, but its good and is EDM.
And yes Dziubadoo not hiphop/triphop, and only if you are pedantic is hiphop EDM though we know what you mean. I better get started and do something today then
