With this guide you will learn how to write dance music and produce it. • Decide what type of dance/electronica music you would prefer. The only way to do this is to listen to a large variety of music until you find the sound or style that you like best. There’s drum-n-bass, trance, synthpop, electropop, electronica, electro-hop, 2 step, nu-disco, nu-rave, house, disco and other totally different types of sub-genres to dance. Don’t be limited by genres and pop charts look for new artists and experiment! • Start with your beat. The beat holds the song together and controls how danceable the music is.
