Electronic music is an umbrella covering dozens of sub-genres. It began historically with academic experiments (Stockhausen, Babbitt); the breakthrough was the Moog synthesizer (1964), followed by the invention of samplers and computer DAWs (digital audio workstations).
In pop culture, the electronic revolution was led by Kraftwerk (Germany, 1970s), Jean-Michel Jarre, and Brian Eno. Today electronic music covers everything: from soundtracks by Hans Zimmer to club DJ sets, from chiptune (music from 8-bit games) to neoclassical electronic works by Nyman, Einaudi, and Max Richter. In Ukraine the electronic scene is represented by Onuka, KAZKA, Tik Tu, and world-class DJs.
