2009 to 2013 is often dubbed the golden ages of EDM. Before there was future bass and tropical house, progressive house ruled the EDM movement. The golden age of dance music typically included artists such as Swedish House Mafia, Alesso, Otto Knows, Avicii, Cedric Gervais, and Dada Life.
Just recently, Slushii took to Twitter to write “saying fuck it and working on an EP full of 2008-2011 style dance music.”
