"The ""How the Party Started"" project is a collection and visual representation of 146 artists affecting the rise of Electronic Dance Music. We researched 146 artists, 10 genres and 17 sub-genres of EDM. With exclusive interviews with some of the biggest names and producers of the music we combined CSS, Ruby on Rails and Javascript (D3 Library and force layout) to produce an interactive graphic. Using the Spotify API we were also able to hook up sample tracks of each Artist, Genre & Sub-Genre to give users the full experience of the music"
