electronic beats
Digital music pulses
Electronic beats are rhythmic patterns created using synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, or digital audio software rather than acoustic instruments.
The term appears in music production and genre discussions: The track layers vocals over hard electronic beats.
Electronic beats form the foundation of house, techno, hip-hop, and most contemporary pop music.
