UK Dance
UK dance is a broad label for electronic dance music made in the United Kingdom, from house and garage to drum and bass and chart-friendly club pop.
It groups artists by country, not by one sound. British dance music grew out of the acid house and rave boom of the late 1980s and went on to produce styles of its own, including jungle, drum and bass, UK garage, big beat and dubstep. Acts such as The Chemical Brothers and Basement Jaxx took that club music into the album and singles charts.
Artists it is known for: The Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, Disclosure.
