Rave music, or electronic dance music, has been around since the days of disco in the late 1970s. From the back rooms of Chicago grew what is considered the first rave type music: house. Next on the list is an array of techno birthed out of the Motor City: Detroit. Across the pond, Europe was forming a movement of its own with electronic music artists such as Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk and Thomas Dolby.

Rave music, or electronic dance music, has been around since the days of disco in the late 1970s. From the back rooms of Chicago grew what is considered the first rave type music: house. Next on the list is an array of techno birthed out of the Motor City: Detroit.

Today, rave music is in the mainstream and with the advent of computers and digital audio workstations (DAW), creating it has never been easier.

Instructions
Things You'll Need
DAW
Synthesizer
Drum machine
1
Listen to different electronic music artists to an idea of the sub-genres that are a part of the scene. Study the genre thoroughly and identify which style you like the best. Take notes on certain aspects of the music: beats per minute (bpm), techniques utilized, song lengths and so forth.
2
Open the DAW. You should have a blank slate to work with.
3
Create a dance music template (this step will vary, depending on which DAW you are working with). Label each track with the appropriate instruments and save it to be loaded whenever you want to make a dance track. This saves time in the long run.
4
Set the tempo. A slow to mid-tempo track is around the 120 bpm. An extremely fast track will be 160 or more.
5
Start with basic "four on the floor" bass drum pattern that hits on every down beat. This is standard in dance music. Add a snare hit on every second and fourth downbeat. Then add a high-hat pattern. Do this every four bars.
6
Set the drum sequence to loop. Select another track, fire up the synth and pick a sound that has some bottom end on it for the bass line. Play along with the drum sequence until you have what you like. Record the bass line.
7
Experiment with the different sounds on the synth to determine what will be the best sound for a lead line.
8
Create the next section of the song repeating steps five through seven.
Rave flyers often have psychedelic images as part of the design.
Rave flyers are used to announce when and where a party is, who is deejaying and directions to the rave site. Usually, they are high gloss flyers printed in full-color and are created by an artist or graphic designer. Some flyers may even include metallic inks. Oftentimes, the rave flyer visuals include psychedelic or 3D imagery. Within the rave community, there are well-known flyer designers whose fans go to the rave to collect their artwork, but you can still create your own rave flyer even if you're not a professional designer.
