The History of Electronic Music is a comedy and storytelling show from Vinney White, part comedian, part DJ, at Just Up The Road at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Using a sampler to travel through time, Vinney asks: what stolen sample is used on 30,000 tracks? How did electronic music begin? Who's Roland? The show blends laugh-out-loud moments with fascinating stories and samples, offering a rush of rave-nostalgia. The audience can expect both goosebumps and big laughs as electronic music's story is told through the sounds that shaped it.

A genuinely unusual Fringe offering — part comedy, part musical history lesson, delivered by a comedian who also DJs. If you've ever wondered how electronic music came to be, this is the most entertaining way to find out.
