EDM Chord Progressions

i → VII → VI → V

The dramatic, intense minor-key progression used in powerful K-pop songs. Often features Phrygian mode influences for an exotic, dark feel.

i → VI → III → VII

The driving EDM progression that builds before the drop. Bm-G-D-A creates urgency that resolves through the major chords. This i-VI-III-VII became the signature sound of 2010s EDM anthems.
