Electronic Music Quiz

An electronic quiz is a producer's game: the track is often named by the beat, not the voice. The map is enormous, from Kraftwerk's robot pop and Detroit techno to French house, the festival EDM of Avicii and Calvin Harris, and the wobble of dubstep. Watch for the remix, where the same vocal rides three different producers' beats and the drop is the real tell. Guess the electronic song from the build, name the producer behind it, and see whether the underground cuts outrank the festival anthems. Hit play and see how much of the club and the festival you can name.

Electronic Trivia: Facts Most Fans Miss

Electronic trivia is a producer's game: the techno-versus-house origin, the robots who never showed their faces, the drop that gives a track away before the melody. Test your ear.

✦Detroit gave the world techno and Chicago gave it house, both in the early 1980s, and telling the two apart is a classic electronic-quiz question.
✦Daft Punk performed in robot helmets for nearly two decades and rarely showed their faces, one of the great production-versus-persona quiz facts.
✦Avicii's 'Wake Me Up' fused folk vocals with an EDM drop and became one of the most-streamed electronic tracks ever.
✦Electronic is one of the most production-driven genres, so many quizzes test the producer, not the singer, and the same vocal can belong to several different tracks.
✦The build-and-drop structure is the electronic-quiz tell: the tension before the beat returns is often more recognisable than the melody.
