I know that Europe embraced it wholeheartedly, but were there any big mainstream electronic dance/house music songs in America after disco and before "EDM"?

Daft Punk
Does synthpop count?
Also early 90s shit like this was big

Synthpop is kind of more new wave-y which definitely had a US following thanks to MTV and college radio and whatever. Tons of synthpop was big on radio and still is.
Those links you posted are what I'm looking for. Very house-y and more "Dance" than "pop" with a beat.
unironically Darude - Sandstorm
Benny Benassi - Satisfaction
Various trance shit like Paul Okenfold and old Tiesto
The precursor to EDM came in the late 90's with what they called electronica. There was no one sound that bounded the different artists together besides all being electronic
Fatboy slim, prodigy, chemical brothers, the crystal method, daft punk, moby, portishead, apehx twin, etc.
But also complete garbage europop shit like im a barbie girl and im blue if i were green i would die. one hit wonder type shit
>Benny Benassi - Satisfaction
>Various trance shit like Paul Okenfold and old Tiesto
these were big in the dance scene but didn't really get much mainstream radio play at all desu
WHAT IS LOVE
BABY DON"T HURT ME
Also sampled in this:

When do you consider disco to have ended and EDM to have begun? The KLF would probably qualify.
I need to find me some retro female vocal samples so I can make a groove
youtube.com
Well this song
and a bunch more early 90s house all sampled Loleatta Holloway's vocals
OP said before EDM. Daft Punk weren't mainstream in the US until they collaborated with Kanye.
>Loleatta Holloway
Wow that is a lot

Kraftwerk and yellow magic orchestra are the source of everything. They became popular in the black american community. Which leads to planet rock (rap) the bellevue three (techno)
das righ nigras, the source of all your music is the whitest band on the planet
I remember this was constantly on the radio in like the late 90s
Disco, probably like early 80s
"EDM" not until 2009 or 2010 when Skrillex and Guetta and co. all really broke out.
lol no, daft punk were pretty popular with kids, kanye is a fucking faggot.
Daft punks music videos used to air on cartoon network during toonami.
And they had hits like around the world around the world around the world around the world
Thanks, dude just found the vocal stem on remixpacks.ru. This should be fun.
90s Eurodance made some inroads, especially by ~2000
>Real McCoy - Run Away
>ATC - Around the World
>What is Love
>Scatman
>Sandstorm
>Ace of Base
>Barbie Girl
it prompted Cher and Madonna to drop EDM songs
the turn-of-the-millennium bubblegum pop wave was influenced by Eurodance too
basically if you were a 12 year old millennial in the early 2000s you listened to gorrlliaz, linken park, and daft punk while playing flash games on newgrounds cause the batteries in your gameboy color wore out
>The KLF would probably qualify.
"3AM Eternal" was most definitely a hit in the early 90s
>Real McCoy - Run Away
Also "Another Night"
this
Yeah the big beat/electronica thing gained traction for a few years before 9/11, kinda co existed with pop punk, post grunge, and nu metal as the "alternative" stuff of the time
Moby got dissed by Eminem even.
weren't there those chemical brothers songs with the guy from oasis that had really trippy videos and the only stations they were on was like alt rock ones
Yeah there was one that was basically Tomorrow Never Knows

This was also TNK as well lmao
If you really want to learn about house you should start off with the Chicago scene in the 1980's
thanks
They had no top 40 hits until Get Lucky in 2013 (or Stronger in 2007 - if you count the Kanye thing) and their first three albums were all commerical flops. (It's a different story in Europe, obviously.)
One More Time got airplay on Top 40 stations though and they had a handful of #1 dance chart hits in the late 90s - mid 00s, especially Around the World and Face to Face which were massive in the NYC club scene at the time.
The dance charts and the club scene doesn't mean shit, as they're both fringe. With the exception of some kids seeing their music videos broadcast on Cartoon Network (which doesn't translate to sales, and how many of those people knew it was an actual band?), most Americans had never heard of Daft Punk until Kanye and Tron.
