Christian electronic dance music, often shortened to CEDM, is a genre of Christian music. There are generally two styles of CEDM, Christian electronic and Christian dubstep.
Popular figures
Bryson Price is one of the main Christian dubstep figures. He is heavily influenced by Skrillex.[1] Other artists have entered the subgenre too, such as Transform DJs, Re5a, Matthew Parker, Oiwolf,[2] Tony Foxx, DJ Flubbel [3] and more.
Christian electronic artists such as Capital Kings, Owl City and Kye Kye have more of a pop sound. A significant number of artists from this genre tend not to take kindly to the Christian music label,[4][5] similar to notable rappers Andy Mineo and Lecrae.
Critical response
Capital King's debut album was highly praised[by whom?] for its upbeat style.[citation needed] Their album impacted the Christian music culture so much[citation needed] that now many artists have created CEDM songs, including Mandisa (with "Overcomer" and "Joy Unspeakable") and tobyMac[6] (with "Me Without You", "Mac Daddy" and "Unstoppable").
