CEDM, or Christian Electronic Dance Music, is a genre of Christian music. Notable artists include Bryson Price, Capital Kings and Soul Glo Activatur.

Styles and Derivatives
There are generally two styles of CEDM; Christian Electronic and Christian Dubstep.

Christian Dubstep
Bryson Price is one of the main Christian Dubstep figures. He is heavily influenced by Skrillex. Other artists have entered the subgenre too, such as fe5a, Matthew Parker, and more.

Christian Electronic artists such as Capital Kings, Owl City and Kye Kye have more of a Pop sound. Also a surprisingly large amount of artists from this subgenre tend not to take kindly to the Christian Music label, similar to notable rappers Andy Mineo and Lecrae.

Some CEDM songs sound very repetitive. These are called Christian Trance. Good examples of this are Resurface Instrumental by Karac and It's a Trap by DJ Official, though It's a Trap could qualify as Christian Dubstep.

Critical Response
While CEDM isn't very popular, many Christians long for Christian Dubstep and other CEDM derivitaves.

Capital King's debut album was highly praised for its upbeat style. Their album impacted the Christian music culture so much that now many artists have created CEDM sangs, including Mandisa (With Overcomer and Joy Unspeakable) and tobyMac (with Me Without You, Mac Daddy and Unstoppable).
