About Us

Dance and Club

ElectronicMusic.News covers house, techno, drum and bass, dubstep and the wider dance and club spectrum. We publish explanatory journalism about how music actually gets made, released and paid for, rather than press-release coverage of what came out this week.

We write for people who care how it works – why sidechain compression became a sound rather than a fix, what a sound system actually is, why club arrangements are shaped by the need to mix in and out of them, and where the money in the genre really comes from.

How we work

Articles here are written by Rafe Sinclair, who covers this beat for ElectronicMusic.News. Pieces are researched and written rather than aggregated, and where a claim rests on a specific event, statistic or decision we check it against primary reporting before it publishes. We do not run articles built from a single aggregator.

We do not fabricate interviews, quotes or releases. If we have not spoken to someone, we do not imply that we have. Where a piece is analysis rather than reporting, it reads as analysis.

Who publishes this

ElectronicMusic.News is part of the MW3.biz music network. MW3.biz connects independent and grassroots artists with music curators and publications, and supports artists self-managing their own careers. Coverage decisions here are editorial and are not determined by whether an artist has used that platform.

If you are an artist looking to promote a release, the platform is at mw3.biz.
