I grew up on Detroit techno and Chicago house. Its sad to see all electronic music get lumped into "edm." This is an observation from where I stand: EDM as a trend looks to the underground dance music-sphere and plucks ideas. Right now Deep/Minimal House has begun to enter the EDM world. All things considered this is an established sound that has been around for a long time. Now, its "new" and "innovative." Of course, it only counts as new if a current "EDM" dj is producing the track. I have no moral judgement. But, it is an interesting trend. Dance music evolves fast! EDM has sped up the process, they take a popular trend, only a few year old, re-shape to please the masses, and create a movement to backlash to. Right now techno is huge, in the dance music world. I expect EDM to jump on it not too long from now.
