This, combined with cutting-edge synthesizer, strong bass rhythm and melodic hooks (the last one derived from new wave) establishes the core foundation of Eurodance music.[1] It peaked at Ibiza's summer festivals of 1994 and its intense popularity then spread around the world, which carried on into late 1996.
