The family tree

How the sounds are related

Every genre came from somewhere. Disco gave us house; house crossed the lake to Detroit and became techno; UK breakbeats turned into jungle and drum & bass; house travelled to South Africa and became amapiano. Tap or hover a genre to trace its roots and what it spawned.

Lineage is a living debate — these are the widely-documented descents, not a rigid taxonomy.
