Electronic dance music (EDM) has existed since the 1970s, despite many believing that the musical genre manifested much later. Despite its perceived newness, EDM showcases the timeless tunes that artists produce within the category. In the early 2000s, dubstep originated near South London, United Kingdom, supplementing the decades-old dance genre that clubgoers had grown to adore.
Multiple EDM subgenres hold global prominence today, with a seemingly endless pool of artists hoping to stand out as they extend their hard-hitting electronic sounds. Jake Davies, artistically known as Artifact, carves out his place in the EDM community with sonically pleasing, bass-heavy pieces that EDM enjoyers can’t ignore.
