What is Eurodance?

Eurodance music (also known as dance music, Euro or Euro-NRG) is a genre of EDM music (electronic dance music). It originated in the late 1980s in Europe, many say that Germany was the birthplace of Euro. Eurodance combined the elements of Euro disco, hi-NRG and techno music. Typical instruments that are used in Eurodance are keyboards, synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines.

Most Eurodance songs have rich melodic vocals (female) and usually, but not always, rapped verses (male). This was combined with melodic hooks, strong bass rhythm and a really good synthesizer. The majority of Eurodance music composed of synthesizer riffs with one or more vocals with a simple chorus. Most of the Euro produced had a male rap vocal but there were songs without rap in it. These elements formed the core of what it known as Eurodance music.

Welcome!

First of all, welcome to the I Luv Eurodance blog! I've been meaning to start this blog for a while now and I think that now is the time for things to get rolling. Eurodance music was extremely popular all over the world in the 1990s. From North America, to Europe and South America and all other parts of the globe, Eurodance music could be heard on local radio stations 24/7 or blaring in your local night club until the early hours of the morning. The Eurodance phenomenon in the 90s was like nothing we had seen before. Eurodance was here to stay.
