The Netherlands is not the birthplace of House music or EDM, that honour goes to Chicago in the early 1980s. But when the Netherlands caught on, it never let go and quickly developed its own style of electronic music called gabber, which is now often referred to as early hardcore. For years now, Dutch DJs have had a lock on the top spots in the Top 100 DJ list from DJ Mag and EDM has become one of the biggest cultural exports of the country.

Tiesto, Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, Afrojack, Fedde le Grand, Oliver Heldens and many other Dutch DJs are known all around the world. And millions of visitors come to the Dutch EDM festivals such as Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), Awakenings Festival, Mysteryland Festival, Mystic Garden Festival, Amsterdam Open Air, Best Kept Secret Festival, and Down the Rabbit Hole.
