Christian electronic dance music, Christian EDM or CEDM is a genre of electronic dance music and Christian music.
Popular figures
Bryson Price is one of the main Christian electronic music figures. Other artists have entered the genre too, such as Transform DJs, Re5a, Matthew Parker, Oiwolf, Tony Foxx, DJ Flubbel 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, similar to notable rappers Andy Mineo and Lecrae.
Lead Pastor Greg Dumas of The Crossing Church started a Facebook group called Christians Against Dubstep and called dubstep "the demonic orchestra" and called CEDM in particular "evil devil music". However, commenters say the group is a troll page. Matt Shea of Noisey also made a sarcastic blog post, saying "Nay, the Lord has spoken, and he has done so through womps...Hallelujah!"
